indistinct pale blackish suffusions, the first, from the origin of 
the 2nd vien, embracing the anterior cross-vein, the base of the 
discal cell, and the posterior cross-vein. The second runs from 
the fork of the 3rd vein to the hinder side of the discal cell, along 
its outer side. Costal cell rather broad, the costa curving outwards 
slightly. Halteres brownish yellow. 
Described from two o” @ in the Indian Museum, taken by 
Dr. A. D. Imms at Badrinath, Gahrwal District (10,200 ft.) , 27-v-Io.

cell. Following the discal margin of this brown triangle (at a 
distance leaving a moderately wide intermediate clear band) is 
the proximal margin of a second, large brown band which fills 
thence the whole of the discal part of the wing. A brown streak
