the tip of Ay; veins R, and R; generally parallel, so cell 
2nd R, is very wide at margin; petiole of cell M, only a 
little longer than the cell; basal deflection of Cu, near 
mid-length of cell lst M3. 
Abdomen dark brown, the hypopygium only a little paler. 
Male hypopygium with the ninth tergite not produced into 
lobes, the margin with a very broad notch; pleurites at 
apex on mesal face produced into a short subquadrate lobe 
that is truncated apically; on mesal face near mid-length 
the pleurites are produced into a smaller lobe that is trun- 
cated at apex. Quter pleural appendage clavate, the apex 
a squat, black, hook-like spine with a smaller subterminal 
spine ; inner pleural appendage very small, pale, broadest 
basally. Eighth sternite with two conv ergent rows of five 
spines each. Gonapophyses sinuous, together appearing 
lyriform.

Limnophila (Metalimnophila) producta, sp. n. 
Male.—Length 5°5 mm.; wing 7 mm. 
Female—Length 6:3 mm.; wing 7°5 mm. 
Generally similar to ZL. howesi, sp. n., differing as 
follows :— 
Size smaller. Basal flagellar segments indistinctly pale 
at ends. Median prescutal stripe distinctly divided by a 
pale median line. Pleural black line very distinct, rather 
narrow, both the dorsal and ventral margins very clear-cut. 
. Legs with the femoral apices narrowly blackened. Wings 
not so strongly tinged with brown, the stigma pale brown 
but well-defined. Venation: Rs shorter than LL. howesi ; 
petiole of cell J/, variable in length, from one-fourth to a 
little more than one-half longer than the cell. 
Caudal margin of the ninth ter gite of the male hypo- 
pygium with two elongate, slender, slightly divergent lobes, 
separated by a deep U-shaped median notch. Pleurites at 
base on mesal face produced into a large tumid lobe, these
