28o Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. VI, 



Museum collection. In the Indian Museum are yet two undes- 

 cribed species which will be characterized by me in my ' ' Fauna of 

 British India " volume. 



Section IIL RHAMPHIDINL 

 ELEPHANTOMYIA, Os. Sac. 



argentocincta, Wlk., 2 [Limnohia). Sarawak. The type 

 (in British ^Museum) is beyond use for comparison, and is the only 

 specimen known, apparently. 



delectata, Wlk., cf 2 [Limnobia). Ceram. One of each sex 

 is present (types) in the British Museum, in bad condition, but 

 the conspicuous markings would make the species recognisable. 



filiformis, Wlk., d* {Limnohia). A unique type from Sala- 

 watti in the British Museum, useless for recognition, both wings 

 being gone. 



N.B. — These species were placed provisional!}^ in Elephan- 

 tomyia by Osten Sacken many years ago, and do not appear to 

 have been met with since. 



DICRANOPTYCHA, Os. Sac. 



signaticolliSi Wulp, &. Java. The type of this species, 

 originally in the Amsterdam Museum, is now totally lost, and I 

 have seen no further record of it. The author's excellent coloured 

 plate and description should make identification easy. 



Orimarga borneensis, mihi, sp. nov. 



2 . Borneo. Long. 3 mm. 



Head dark grey, with black hairs, frons comparatively nar- 

 row, especially towards the antennae. Proboscis dark brown ; 

 palpi brownish yellow. Antennae brownish yellow, the fiagellum 

 of 14 uniformly oval joints. 



Thorax dark brownish 3^ellow, almost blackish grey, scutellum 

 and metanotum similar, sides a little more yellowish. 



Abdomen brownish yellow or reddish brown. Ovipositor 

 rather swollen at the base, blackish, the blades normal, brownish 

 yellow, the upper pair the longer. 



Legs brownish ; the coxae and femora a little lighter. 



Wings pale grey. Auxiliary vein ends half-way between 

 the origin of the 2nd vein and the marginal cross- vein, the rst 

 longitudinal ends some little distance beyond the tip of the auxi- 

 liary, the marginal cross- vein near its tip. The 2nd vein begins 

 before the middle of the wing, the marginal cross- vein just 

 beyond the middle of the marginal cell. The 2nd gently bisi- 

 nuate ; the 3rd vein originating at a rounded angle a little 

 before the marginal cross- vein, running parallel to the 2nd 

 vein. Anterior cross-vein a little beyond the marginal cross-vein,
