humerus. Halteres black. Abdomen black, last segment orange (the 
color of the abdomen is somewhat obliterated, perhaps by mould or 
moisture; I believe there are plumbeous crossbands at the base of 
the segments). Legs (including coxae) brown. Wings subhyaline, 
with a slight yellowish tinge; four bluish-opalescent spots form a 
crossband in the middle: the first about the middle of the inner 
marginal cell, the second and third, at the end of the two basal 
cells; the fourth in the fourth posterior cell; two similar spots near 
the base of the wings (one in the proximal end of the first basal 
cell; the second in the proximal end of the spurious cell); four 
posterior cells. 
Hab. Ceylon (between N. Ellia and Gampola. Dec. 13 and 14 
1859; A. Humbert). Museum in Geneva. A single female. 
NB. The tip of the auxiliary vein is slightly anterior to the 
proximal and of the 24 subm. c.; the 18 subm. c. is a trifle shorter 
than the first post. c.; the great crossvein is a trifle before the 
discal cell. 
Eriocera pachyrrhina n. sp. 829. Yellowish-orange; 
hind borders of abdominal segments black, or brownish; wings sub- 
hyaline, with a slight bluish opalescence. Length & about 6 mm.; 
Q 7—8 mm. (without ovip.). 
Yellowish-orange; antennae, except the scapus, brown. Halteres 
with a brown knob; abdomen with rather narrow black or brown 
hind borders of the segments; the segment preceding the genitals, 
is almost altogether black or brown. Legs brownish-yellow, ends of 
tibiae and the tarsi darker. Wings subhyaline, with a slight yello- 
wish tinge and a bluish opalescence; four posterior cells. 
Hab. Ceylon (Kaduganawa, Oct. 8; Mr. A. Humbert). Male and 
female, found in copula. Museum in Geneva. 
NB. The tip of the auxiliary vein is nearly on the same line 
with the proximal end of the 24 subm. c.; the first subm. ce. is a 
little shorter than the first post. c.; the great crossvein a little an- 
terior to the middle of the discal cell. 
FEriocera erystalloptera n.sp. &. Velvet black, frontal 
tubercle and humeral callosities reddish; antennae brown; abdominal 
segments, beginning with the third with broad, shining, steel- blue 
crossbands occupying nearly the whole ‚basal half of the segments. 
Wings of a erystalline clearness, with black veins. Legs brown. 
Length about 6 mm. 
Hab. Rambodde, Ceylon (Nietner); Berlin Museum. A single 
imperfect male specimen.
