series of small brown dots along- veins Cu and 2nd A ; no 

 dots along Rs except the large one at the origin ; the 

 general effect of the wing-pattern is of a rather abundant 

 basal and apical clouding with a broad cross-bind that is 

 almost as wide as the length of the sector, practically 

 destitute of dark markings, only the series along vein Cu 

 being present. Venation : lis angulated at origin ; basal 

 deflections of R i+5 and (!u x subequal ; r-m shorter than m ; 

 cell \st M 2 rectangular, longer than the basal deflection of 

 Cu x which is inserted at about the middle of its length ; 

 cell M 1 very small, only about two-fifths the length of its 

 petiole. 



Abdominal tergites dark brown ; sternites brownish 

 yellow. Ovipositor with the valves long and slender.

Pseudolimnophila varipes, sp. n. 



Male. — Length about G mm. ; wing 7*2 mm. 



Close to P. cinctifemur, differing as follows : — 



Scapal segments dark brown, the flagellar segments pale 

 yellow. Head pale brownish grey with a faint brown 

 median line, paler adjoining the margin of the eyes. Pro- 

 notum with a median brown line. Mesonotal piiescutum 

 darker-coloured, but with the arrangement of the pattern 

 generally similar. Mesosternum dark brown. Halteres 

 with the knobs dark brown. Legs with the coxa? greyish ; 

 trochanters brownish yellow; femora brown throughout; 

 remainder of the legs abruptly light yellow, only the 

 terminal tarsal segments a little darker. Wing-pattern 

 much heavier, the pale grey spots along the veins very 

 numerous and in almost all cases large and confluent across 

 the cells ; a series of about fifteen small brown dots in the 

 costal cell ; larger and darker spots at the ends of veins Sc l} 

 7i], R 2 , and R 3 . Venation : Us sin rier ; B 2+ z longer, about 

 equal to the petiole of cell M : ; cell 1st M 2 very small, sub- 

 quadrate, the basal deflection of Cu x inserted just before the 

 middle of its length; petiole of cell M x nearly equal to this 

 cell. Abdominal segments dark brown.
