LEPXOMORPULS. — I'Ah.liOANAClvlMA . 85 



lateral setae ; fore metatarsi longer than the tibiae. Wings 

 elongate oval, shorter than the abdomen, setulose. Costa ends 

 just beyond tip of 3rd vein. Subcostal cross-vein px'esent, placed 

 near tip of auxiliary vein which latter ends before or after the 

 middle of the wing ; ist longitudinal nearly straight, long ; 3rd 

 begins at or before middle of wing at an acute or a right angle, 

 straight nearly to the wing-tip ; tlie anterior cross-vein at the 

 deflection. The 4th and 5th veins widely forked, the latter 

 much before the former; the 6th and 7th veins incomplete and short. 



Range. Europe, Assam ; of the only two previously known 

 species, one is European, the other is from an unknown locality. 



Life-Mstory unknown. 



" This genus resembles Boletina most closely, but differs in having 

 longer legs, the fore metatarsi being longer than the corresponding 

 tibiae, and in a relatively longer petiole of the media,* tlie petiole 

 being about half as long as the anterior branch. There are several 

 undescribed North American species of Boletina which closely 

 approach Leptomorphus." (Johannseu.) 



40. Leptoniorphus ornatus, sp. nov. 



5 . Head wholly bright chrome-yellow ; antenme (tips broken 

 off) slightly brownish on upper half. Ocellar triangle black. 

 Thorax: dorsum sliining indigo-black. Shoulders, scutellum and 

 sides (except pleurae, which are shining black), bright yellow. 

 Metauotum brown, lighter at the sides. Abdomen rich brown, 

 shortly pubescent ; 1st and 2nd segments all brown, 3rd, 4th and 

 5th with a broad basal yellow band, 6th all brown, 7th brown 

 with a narrow yellow tip. Genitalia very small, yellow. Legs 

 pale yellow, tarsi brownish ; hind femora very slightly brown 

 at base above, and at tips. Wings pale grey, ^vith microscopic 

 hairs ; apical part brownish, the colour stretching across the 

 wing from just before the tip of the 1st longitudinal vein to the 

 hind margin, cutting the middle of the branches of the 4th vein. 

 Upper branch of 5th vein wavy. Halteres yellow, clubs black. 



Length 7 millim. 



Described from a single female in the Indian Museum from 

 Sylhet, 3. ii. 05 {Hall). 



A very distinct and handsome species, having generic characters 

 agreeing exactly with those of Leptoniorphus ; the fore metatarsus 

 is about one and a half times as long as the fore tibia.
