"the hetekopter'a of indo-china." 2i3 



• DIPTERA. 



CHIRONOMIDiE. 



Jokannsenomyia swinhoei, n. sp. (Fig. 3.) 



(^ . Length about 1,280 /x, abdomen 6i8 fx; antennae 1-i-jointecl, 

 clavate at end, the three joints before the last elongated ; thorax 

 ■elevated, strongly gibbous, scutellum prominent; femora all slender 

 and simple, the anterior ones with four long hairs beneath on apical 

 half. The following measurements are in /x : Antennae 560, w^idth of 

 head 320, hind tibia 335, jomts of hind tarsus (1) 128, (2) 95, (3) 50, 

 (4) 50, (5) 40. 



This is a dark brown species, with perfectly hyaline (spotless) 

 wings. All the tarsal joints have jfiue oblique hairs beneath, but 

 there are no spines on the last joint. In the modern fauna the 

 species runs near J. polita (Coquillett). 



No trace of the media can be seen, and the forked cubitus 

 is only seen in a good light. The insect might accordingly be 

 compared with Brachypogon, but it is actually quite different. 

 The invisibility of the media is doubtless due only to the manner 

 of preservation. Burmese amber, from Mr. R. C. J. Swinhoe. 

 The venation resembles that of .,/. cothnrnata {Ceratopogon 

 ■cothurnatus, Meunier) and J. si)iaosa {Ceratopogon sinuosa, 

 Meunier), from Baltic amber. The knobbed antennae are 

 peculiar, rather resembling those of Ceratopogon piriformis, 

 Meunier, from Baltic amber. The abdomen is stout, resembling 

 that of a female. 



This is in the same piece of amber as Aleurodicus hurniiticns, 

 and 5 mm. from it.
