88 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
Genitalia: The basal lobes are a long oval, with long curved 
claspers without terminal articulated spines, and covered on the basal 
half with flat scales, and on the distal half with some bristles. Very 
long, golden, stiff hairs clothe the basal lobes and project between 
them. I have not had material for a dissection. 
Length: 4 mm. 
?. Head as in male. Antenne less plumose. Palpi: Rather 
long, densely scaled, acuminate, black. Proboscis, thorax, meta- 
notum: As in male. 
Abdomen: The dorsum and sides are a velvety black, with 
broad oblique lateral white bands, basal on the proximal segments 
and apical on the sixth segment. The venter is pale gold, with 
apical black bands on the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh seg- 
ments. 
Legs: As in male, but the pale band on the hind femora is white. 
The hind tarsi are of normal form. 
Wings: As in male. First submarginal one-third longer than 
second posterior, and stem of first submarginal half the length of the 
cell. Cross-veins as in male. 
Length: 5 mm. 
Habitat. Obuasi, in bush-paths, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., in August, 
October, and November. 
2. Hretmapodites leucopous, nov. sp. 
3. Head as in No. 1, but the scales are less blue. Antenne, 
palpi, proboscis, clypeus: As in No. 1. Thorax: Very similar to 
that of No. 1. 
. Prothoracic lobes, pleure, halteres, scutellum, metanotum: As in 
Orals 
Abdomen: Very similar to that of No.1. A velvety black, with 
broad bands of white basal banding on the venter; these bands 
become oblique laterally, and apical on the sixth segment and dorsal 
on the seventh segment, but do not meet in the middle line dorsally. 
There are golden ventral spots on the sixth and seventh segments. 
Abdomen is compressed laterally and flattened and expanded towards 
the extremity. 
Legs: As in No. 1, but the two last segments of the tarsi are pure 
white and of normal form. 
Wings: Colour and scales very similar to those of No.1. First 
submarginal cell one-third of its length longer than the second 
posterior cell. The stem of the first submarginal more than half as 
long as the cell. All these cross-veins are close together. Sixth vein 
turns at right angles to costa at its extremity. 
Genitalia: Externally very similar to No. 1. 
Length: 4 mm. 
?. Head as in male. Antenne: The verticillate hairs are 
shorter and less numerous. 
Palpi: Very short, and less densely scaled than in No. 1. 
Proboscis and clypeus, pleure and prothoracic lobes, thorax and 
scutellum, and halteres: As in male. 
Abdomen: The venter a pale golden colour, with brown apical
