528 TIPULID^. 



the anterior cross-vein in a line with it, as is also the base of the 

 discal cell, ^^•hich latter is longer than broad ; the 2nd posterior 

 cell with a petiole two-thirds as long as the cell ; the 3rd and 4th 

 posterior cells subequal, the posterior cross-vein placed a little 

 after the base of the discal cell ; the 5th and 6tli longitudinal 

 veins straight, the 7th gently sinuous. The wing-markings, wliich 

 are of a dark grey or brownish grey colour, are rather difficulc to 

 describe satisfactorily.* A complete circle of narrow marks is 

 formed near the middle of the wing, constructed as follows : — an 

 oblong spot in the costal cell immediately above the base of the 

 2nd vein, two perpendicular marks in the marginal cell and 1st 

 basal cell respectively, and a semicircular mark (with the convexity 

 hindwards) of rather greater width in the 2nd basal cell, the inner 

 upper end of which is joined to the costal spot first described by a 

 narrow band across the 1st basal cell ; all these marks together 

 form approximately the circle referred to ; a spot in the costal cell 

 near the base, and one in the anal cell below it, joined on the 

 distal side by a semicircular narrow band, thus forming about 

 three-fonrths of another circle nearer the base of the wiug ; below 

 the first circle is a large, contiguous, round spot which reaches 

 the hind margin of the wing, with two smaller spots nearer the 

 base and also on the hind margin ; a large irregularly shaped 

 spot spreading over the fork of the 2ud longitudinal vein, the 

 origin of the 3rd vein and the anterior ci'oss-vein ; an elongate 

 cue at the tip of the 1st posterior cell, and the tips of the veins 

 infuscated ; two narrow parallel marks in the anal cell just 

 below the posterior cross-vein, and some similar small spots 

 variously distributed about the remainder of the wing. Halteres 

 blackish. 



Length 9 millim. 



Described from a single perfect female from Bhowali, Kumaon,

Type in the Indian Museum. 



* There being onlj' a single specimen it is impossible to judge whether tlie 

 markings as afforded by this example are constant or not.
