in front of spiracle; pteropleura, prosternum, and basal 
abdominal sternite bare ; fourth wing-vein curved forward 
at apex ; hind tibial calcar absent. 
Genotype, Mydea ungulata, Stein. 
This species was originally described from Java. I have 
before me a female specimen from Kasauli, North-west 
India, taken by Lt.-Col. F. Wyville-Thomson. 
The genus very closely resembles Cyrtoneurina, Giglio-Tos, 
but the latter has the pteropleura and basal abdominal 
sternite hairy. 
Subfamily Ca@woszrw.z. 
Pygophora semilutea, sp. n. 
Male.—Head yellow; upper half of front orbits, ocellar 
triangle, back of head, centre of face above, and proboscis 
blackened. Thorax black, grey pruinescent. Abdomen 
yellow, base of first tergite, a central spot on second, a large 
part of posterior half of third in centre, nearly all of fourth, 
and all of fifth tergites blackened; base of hypopygium 
black. Legs yellow. Wings clear. Calyptrz “white. 
Halteres yellow. 
Third antennal segment about four times as long as 
second. Abdomen compressed at apex; fourth tergite 
almost prow-like in centre, with rather dense curved setulose 
hairs on each side of central elevated portion, and some 
bristles at apex, the lateral extremities with numerous long 
bristles ; fifth tergite with long bristly hairs on sides. 
Bristling of legs normal; hind tibia with a_ short 
preapical ventral. protuberance ; basal segment of hind 
tarsus slightly arched at base. Wing-veins 8 and 4 slightly 
convergent apically. 
Length 5'5 mm. 
Type, Kandy, Ceylon, 21. v. 1892 (Col. J. W. Yerbury). 
This species resembles in colour immaculipennis, Frey, but 
that species has the hind tibia without the small preapical 
ventral process—a fact which ‘caused Stein to place the 
species in Cenosia.
