Legs. — Coxae brownish yellow, bare ; remainder of legs 

 similarly coloured, gradually becoming darker towards the tips, 

 the tarsi being blackish. 



Wings gre}'. Auxiliary vein apparentl}' turns downward 

 into the ist longitudinal vein at some little distance beyond the 

 middle of the wing, and it is connected just before its tip, by a 

 short cross- vein with the costa.^ 



The 1st vein turns distinctly into the 2nd a little beyond 

 the level of the anterior cross- vein, and a little way before its 

 tip it is connected itself with the costa by a cross-vein, presumably 

 the marginal cross-vein. The 2nd longitudinal, which begins 

 some distance before the middle of the wing, gently arcuating, 

 turns abruptly up (at the point where it meets the anterior cross- 

 vein, in a similar angle to that taken by the fourth vein in Musca 

 and Lucilia) until it meets the ist vein ; thence running parallel 

 to the costa and ending in it some little distance before the tip of 

 the wing. The 3rd vein, which runs nearly straight to the exact 

 tip of the wing, and the anterior cross- vein, originate together 

 from the angle in the 2nd vein where the latter marks the end 

 of the praefurca, this section being longer than the rest of the 

 2nd vein, Discal cell hexagonal, the lower half consisting of 

 three sides, the cell twice as long as broad and about as long as 

 the second and third posterior cells. Anterior cross-vein shorter 

 than proximal side of discal cell ; posterior cross-vein just beyond 

 middle of discal cell ; 5th vein sharply angled at its juncture with 

 the posterior cross-vein, whence it runs straight to the wing- 

 margin; 6th and 7th veins nearl^^ straight. The first, second and 

 third veins near their tips are microscopically spinose.

 seong, taken b}- Dr. Annandale, i8-vi-io (type), 23-vi-io and

Recorded from Java and the Philippines. The whereabouts of 

 the type is very uncertain. It is not in the Amsterdam Museum, 

 but other specimens of this species, taken by Herr Jacobson in 

 Java, are present. Specimens in the Indian Museum (four d» a* 

 one 9 ) are from Tiavancore, South India. 



I should not be surprised to find the Limnohia apicalis of 

 Wiedemann identical ; if so the latter name has priority. 



1 It may be considered that the auxiliary vein turns upward to the costa, 

 with a cross-vein joining it to the first vein, but it does not at all convey that 

 impression.
