yellowish microsetation; middle of mesonotum with very scant and 
minute microsetation; strong blackish bristles as follows: 1 népl, 1 sa, 
1 dc, 1 acr (prescutellar) ; all other thoracic setae hairlike, yellowish. 
Wings (fig. 1f) pale brownish with deep brown stigma; venation as 
shown; halter pale yellowish. 
Legs slender, f; somewhat clavate, at apical fourth 0.12 as wide as 
long; coxae and most of legs with pale yellowish hairs; f and ¢ with 
bristles as follows: ¢, with one long median d and one long preapical 
ad, also with nearly erect fine ventral hairs nearly as long as tibial 
diameter; ¢, (fig. 1h) including one p of moderate length at position 
indicated by x; {3 with complete row of 9 av, longest (median) some- 
what longer than greatest diameter of femur; also 2 ad, one slightly 
apicad of middle and one at apical %; ¢; with one d shortly apicad of 
middle and one each a and pd preapicals; tarsi with moderately long 
hairs, one basiventral bristle on basitarsus, and basitarsus,, each 
segment of all tarsi with more or less distinct preapical ad and pd; 
basitarsus, slightly enlarged. 
Abdomen with sclerites black, lightly grayish pruinose and with 
sparse whitish hairs of moderate length; terminal segments (fig. 19) 
with bristles black. 
Ho.iotype.—Female, Malaya, Selangor Gombak Forest Reserve, 
tree platform, February 24, 1962 (H. E. McClure), USNM 67632. 
This species runs in Frey’s key (1953) to H. apicalis Frey, but differs 
by having j; with less black apically and the upper ommatidia en- 
larged, or to H. annulipes Frey, from which it differs also in its dif- 
ferently colored f/f; and the differently bristled ¢. Both of those 
species are from Burma. If one considers the 2nd wing vein suffi- 
ciently bowed apically to place this species in Frey’s subgenus Pseu- 
dosyneches, it would run to H. palawanus Frey, differing therefrom 
by its hairy arista and by the presence of only 2 bristles on f;. 
Family Neriidae 
The following key is offered in the hope that it will be found an 
improvement over the one by Aczél (1954, p. 511).
