remaining costal marks are a conical (reversed) and a triangular spot, 

 both touching the 3rd vein. The anterior cross- vein, the inner 

 side of the discal cell, and the posterior cross-vein bear a small spot 

 each, these spots being practically contiguous. The distal side of 

 the discal cell is brown suffused and the ist posterior cell contains 

 two lighter spots, the 2nd posterior cell containing one. The 

 2nd basal cell has three small spots, the tip of the 7th vein is 

 suffused. Halteres, stem brownish yellow, clubs black, 



Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. F. M. Howlett 

 at Darjiling, 3 — g-vi-og. 



Type in the Pusa collection. 



Geranomyia scmistriatat mihi, sp. nov, 

 $ . Western Bengal. Long, nearly 5 mm. 



Head dark grey, frons narrow. Proboscis black, distinctly 

 longer than head and thorax together ; palpi blacky inserted before 

 the middle of the proboscis. Antennae brownish yellow^ sometimes 

 darker. Back of head and neck blackish gre}-. 



Thorax. — Dorsum brownish or light grey, gre^^ dusted. Three 

 narrow reddish brown stripes : the median one from the anterior 

 margin to about the middle of the dorsum ; the outer ones begin 

 behind the shoulders and are carried over the suture without interrup- 

 tion to the posterior margin; an additional narrow intermediate 

 stripe between them commencing behind the suture and continued 

 to the base of the scutellum : a short narrow stripe on each side 

 above and in front of the wing-root. Prothorax brownish yellow 

 in one specimen, edge of dorsum and sides of thorax (in type speci- 

 men) light grey, pleurae yellowish, with some grey reflections. 

 Scutellum and metanotum concolorous with dorsum of thorax, 

 edge of former brownish 3^ellow. 



Abdomen dark claret-brown, roughened, belly yellowish ; 

 ovipositor large, robust, black, bareh^ shining, terminal blades 

 reddish yellow. 



Legs. — Coxae and femora brownish yellow, tips of femora 

 slightly thickened and blackish ; tibiae and tarsi brown. 



Wings pale grey, with seven moderately dark brown spots 

 on the costa placed approximately equidistantly : the third en- 

 closing the origin of the 2nd longitudinal vein ; these first three 

 spots extending posteriorly^ barely to the 4th longitudinal vein ; 

 the fourth spot terminates over the fork of the 2nd vein ; the fifth 

 (the largest, enclosing the marginal cross- vein) extends posteriorly to 

 the 3rd vein ; the seventh is very small, triangular, placed at the 

 extreme tip of the 3rd vein. A narrow brown irregular line encloses 

 the anterior and posterior cross-veins, with the basal side of the discal 

 cell, and there is a small suffusion over the proximal side of the dis- 

 cal cell. The venation is normal ; basal part of 3rd longitudinal 

 vein long, the remainder of the vein parallel to the 2nd ; anterior 

 cross- vein short. Discal cell twice as long as wide ; posterior cross- 

 vein distinctly but not greatly before the base of the discal cell.
