288 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



with very long pure white hair ; front, vertex, sides of face, 

 and upper part of cheeks anteriorly with black hair ; thorax 

 with very long hair, mixed grey and Tf liite, daikon scutellum, 

 shining white on mesopleura ; tegulaj black, very hairy. 

 Wings iiyaline. Legs slender, with long black and white 

 hair, dark cliocolate on inner side of tarsi ; apical joint of 

 niiddle tarsi with no noticeable fringe ; hind basitarsus long 

 and broadened. Abdomen not banded or spotted, but with a 

 profusion of long erect hair, which is mostly greyish white, 

 but black on discs of fourth and following segments, though 

 white and very long at sides. 



Hah. Quetta, India, March 11)06 (Frank Benton). 



Closely allied to A. connexa (Nurse), ahso from Quetta; 

 but according to Nurse's description connexa has the clypeus 

 all yellow, the apical tarsal joints more or less rufo-testaceous, 

 the blackish hair of abdomen confined to the apical two 

 segments, and the front with white hair. It thus seems 

 ])robable that our insect is a distinct species, though it may 

 be only a variety. There is a pencil of white hair on each 

 side of front, a little above level of antennae. The general 

 appearance of the insect is very like tiiat of Tetralonia 

 pomona.
