90 MYCETOPHILID/E. 



four-jointed, 1st joint short, 2nd a little longer, 3rd longer than 

 the two preceding, 4th a trifle shorter ; coxae elongated. Abdomen 

 of the male long, slender, clavate, composed of seven distinct 

 segments besides the hypopygium. Win(js elongate oval. Costal 

 vein ending at tip of 3rd vein ; auxiliary vein long, ending near 

 middle of wing; 1st longitudinal practically straight, long; 3rd 

 longitudinal beginning before middle of wing in a bold curve, 

 considerably bisinuate afterwards, anterior cross-vein situated near 

 its base. The 4th longitudinal forked before its middle, anterior 

 branch indistinct at base ; 5th vein widely forked below or just 

 beyond anterior cross-vein ; 6th vein incomplete. 



Range. United States (Indiana) and Sikkim ; also in Baltic amber. 



The above (except the wings) is from Johannsen (Gen. Ins.), 

 and I assume it to be a copy of Aldrich's original description, 

 which is not accessible to me. Johannsen thinks the genus may 

 possibly be synonymous with Neuratchia. 



44. Odontopoda indica, sp, no v. 



cJ. Head: vertex blackish, face brown, underside of head and 

 the palpi yellow ; antennal scape and base of 1st joint of flagellum 

 yellow, rest of flagellum brown. Thorax yellowish brown, with 

 short yellow haii-s and stift'er bristly hairs around the margins ; 

 pleurae with a slight violet tinge. (Scutellum and metaiiotum 

 damaged.) Abdomen blackish, of seven elongated, subcylindrical 

 segments with yellowish grey pubescence. Genitalia very large, 

 bulbous, blackish bro\^n, hairy and bristly, with a ventral plate. 

 Legs yellowish ; tarsi barely darker. Wings pale greyish, highly 

 iridescent, base of upper branch of 4th longitudinal vein indis- 

 tinct ; halteres yellow. 



Length 3| millim. 



Described from a single male in the Indian Museum taken by 

 me at Darjiling, 6000 ft., 1.x. 08. 



The middle ocellus is not visible, owing to a slight crushing of 

 the top of the head ; it may or may not be present. Otherwise, 

 except the slight damage to the scutellum and meianotum caused 

 by the pin, the specimen is perfect, ' Only three species are 

 known — two fossil ones from Baltic amber, and the third from 

 Indiana, U.S.A. ; it is therefore interesting to And the genus in 

 the Himalayas.
