Limnophila maorica, sp. un. 
General coloration reddish brown; antenne of male nearly 
as long as body; wings with a faint brown tinge; stigma and 
a faint seam along r-m darker brown; r near tip of R,; 
R,z,3 short; basal deflection of Cu, near one-fourth the 
length of cell 1st M,; male hypopygium with a long slender 
spine at base of dorsal face of pleurite. 
Male.— Length 4°6-5 mm.; wing 6°3-6°5 mm. 
Female.—Length 6°3 mm.; wing 7°3 mm. 
Rostrum obscure yellow; palpi brownish black. Antennze 
of the male elongated, only a little shorter than the body; 
scapal segments obscure brownish yellow; flagellum black, 
the segments elongate-cylindrical. Head dark brown, the

femora dark brown, the bases testaceous; remainder of the 
legs brownish black; tibial spurs small, reddish. Wings 
with a very faint brown tinge; stigma oval, pale brown; a 
pale brown seam along r—m and the deflection of R,,5; veins 
dark brown with abundant macrotrichi#; a shiny black 
callus on the wing-root. Venation: Sc long, Sc, ending 
beyond the fork of F,,3, Sc. about one and one-half times 
its length from tip; Rs long, strongly angulated at origin ; 
R,,3 short, approximately equal to the deflection of /,,., 
this length somewhat variable; r about its own length from 
the tip of R,; inner ends of cells R3, R;, and 1st M, in oblique 
alignment; petiole of cell M, about equal to or longer than 
the second section of M,,.; m with macrotrichie, arcuated, 
usually about one-half longer than the outer deflection of 
M,; cell lst M, elongate; basal deflection of Cu, near one- 
fourth the lower face of celi lst M,; arculus broken. 
Abdominal tergites dark brown, the basal half or less 
indistinctly paler; sternites obscure brownish yellow, the 
apices narrowly darker; hypopygium obscure yellow. Male 
hypopygium with the pleurites slender, the apex of each 
produced into a small chitinized point ; two apical pleural 
appendages, the outer terminating in a slender chitinized 
point; at the base of the pleurites on the dorsal face a con- 
spicuous chitinized rod that extends caudad into an acicular, 
feebly curved point. Penis-guard and gon’&pophyses fused 
into a conspicuous median structure. Anal tube distinct. 
Ovipositor with the valves elongate, the tergal valves acicular.
