from the Seychelles Islands and Rodrigues. 275 
dingy yellow ; 4 deeper yellow suffused with grey-brown at 
apex ; 5 grey-brown, yellowish in the basal half or there- 
abouts. Wings very faint smoky greyish-yellow, a median 
vein or thickening, extending to apical fourth, brown. 
Head approximately 1:5 times as long as broad, cheeks 
gently arcuate in their basal three-fourths, minutely and 
sparingly spinose. Space between eyes 1°6 the width of one 
of them. Eyes smoothly facetted, small, occupying about 
one-fourth (0:25) the dorsal length of the head; postocular 
bristles situated just behind each eye, somewhat stout and 
about the length of the eye. Ocelli large, placed anteriorly, 
the anterior one overhanging, forwardly directed, posterior 
pair on a line drawn through the anterior third of eyes near 
their inner margin, and, therefore, widely separated ; post- 
ocellar setze about 0°6 the length of the postocular pair. 
Autennze approximately twice as long as the head, joint 3 
elongate clavate, 4 and 5 clavate; the relative lengths of 
3 to 8 approximately as follows :—66: 59:48:38 : 27 : 20. 
Trichomes short and stout. 
Pronotum transverse, about 0°55 the length of the head 
and twice as broad as long. Pronotal sete evidently 
prominent, those on the posterior margin the longest and 
stoutest (the outer of them in the only specimen in which 
these bristles have been preserved, being 0°7 the median 
length of pronotum) and the mid-lateral pair coming 
next; antero-marginal pairs short and weak. Pterothorax 
quadrate, broader than the breadth across fore-coxze. Legs 
normal, fore-tarsi unarmed, Fore-wing with 19-22 dupli- 
cated cilia (26 in the solitary $ example). 
Abdomen heavy, broader than pterothorax subparallel to 
segment 6, 6 narrowing posteriorly, and 7 to 9 roundly 
narrowed to base of tube. Tube as long as or slightly longer 
than the head, twice as broad at base as at apex; terminal 
bristles dusky basally, colourless and very slender distally, 
about 0:7 the length of tube. Abdominal bristles stout and 
long, yellowish to light yellowish-brown; a pair on 9 the 
longest, about 0°75 the length of the tube; those on 8 much 
shorter and spine-like, an inner dorsal pair dark brown in 
colour ; those on 6 and 7 long, about 0°7 to 0°8 the length of 
those on 9 and stronger. 
d .—Fore-femora strongly incrassate, fore-tarsus with a 
broadly-seated stout tooth ; pterothorax moderately convex. 
Bristles on earlier abdominal segments stouter than in 
(the preparation in the 2? is so Opaque that a true 
comparison is impossible) ; the short sete at each hind-angle
