462 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



in Scudder's ' Nomenclator ' a genus of Diptera, Dupon- 

 chelia, Desv., is dated from the same year ; but on 

 application to Mr. G. H. Verrall, he kindly informed me 

 that Desvoidy's genus was published in 1863, Scudder's 

 entry being erroneous. 

 fovealis, Z. 



38. IsCHNURGES, Ld. 



Face somewhat rounded; ocelli distinct; tonirue developed. 

 AntemiEe four-fifths, in ^ ciliated {\ — 1), with angularly projecting 

 scales at joints, or sometimes filiform. Labial palpi moderately 

 long, porrected, second joint with dense projecting scales attenuated 

 to a point forwards, terminal joint concealed. Maxillary palpi 

 moderate, porrected, filiform, apex penicillate. Abdomen in ^ 

 long, with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with outer spurs 

 one-half inner. Fore wings with vein 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 approximated to 9 at base. Hind wings 1 ; veins 

 3, 4, 5 somewhat approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, 

 anastomosing with 8 to one-third. 



Allied to Diasemia ; a small genus, ranging from 

 Southern Europe through the Indo-Malayan region to 

 Australia. 



hniguieralis, Dup. 



diffiisalis, Gn. 



39. Stenia, Gn. 



Face somewhat rounded, more or less oblique ; ocelU distinct ; 

 tongue developed. Antennae four-fifths to almost one, in ^ filiform, 

 with projecting scales at apex of joints, cilia+'d (1). Labial palpi 

 moderately long, porrected, second joint with dense projecting 

 scales attenuated to a point forwards, terminal joint concealed. 

 Maxillary palpi moderate, porrected, apex loosely penicillate. 

 Abdomen in ^ very long, with moderate anal tuft. Posterior 

 tibiae with outer spurs one-half inner. Fore wings with vein 7 

 from near 8, 9 and 10 o.it of 8. Hind wings somewhat over 1 

 veins 3, 4, 5 closely approximated at base, 7 out of 6 near origin, 

 anastomosing with 8 to two-fifths. 



Probably a development from the preceding ; appa- 

 rently characteristic of the European region. Amauro- 

 'pliancs, Ld., and Arnici, Gn., are included here,
