NEW OR LITTLE-KNOWN CEANE-FLIE8.— ALEXANDER. 55. 



Male hypopygium similar to L. rufithorax, but the shape of the pleural 

 appendages different; outer pleural appendage slender, gradually tapering to 

 the acute, curved point, with scarcely any denticles on the inner face before 

 the tip as in rufithorax ; inner pleural appendage more slender and more strongly 

 arcuated. 



Habitat: Queensland.

AUotopotype, $ . 



Type in the collection of the Queensland Museum. 



The genotype of Lechria, L. singularis Skuse, differs from all the other 

 species of the genus, as known, in that the radial crossvein connects with B2-\-3 

 at its fork, in the other species connecting with B2 some distance beyond the fork. 

 Skuse interpreted the genus as having the vein Rl ending in vein B2-\-3 and 

 the crossvein r lacking. The writer would interpret the venation as having the 

 extreme tip of Rl atrophied and the radial crossvein present but oblique in 

 position and simulating a section of vein Rl. These characters are found in many 

 Cylindrotominge, and it may be that Lecliria belongs in the neighbourhood of this 

 subfamily rather than in the tribe Limnophilini where it is now placed.
