90 MYCETOPHILIDjE. 



four-jointed, 1 st joint short, 2nd a little longer, 3rd longer than 

 the two preceding, 4th a trifle shorter ; coxse elongated. Abdomen 

 of the male long, slender, clavate, composed of seven distinct 

 segments besides the hypopygium. Wings elongate oval. Costal 

 vein ending at tip of 3rd vein ; auxiliary vein long, ending near 

 middle of wing ; 1st longitudinal practically straight, long ; 3rd 

 longitudinal beginning before middle of wing in a bold curve, 

 considerably bisinuate afterwards, anterior cross-vein situated near 

 its baso. The 4th longitudinal forked before its middle, anterior 

 branch indistinct at base ; oth vein widely forked below or just 

 beyond anterior cross-vein ; 6th vein incomplete. 



Range. United States (Indiana) and Sikkim ; also in Baltic amber. 



The above (except the wings) is from Johannsen (G-en. Ins.), 

 and I assume it to be a copy of Aldrich's original description, 

 which is not accessible to me. Johannsen thinks the genus may 

 possibly be synonymous with Neuratchia. 



44. Odontopoda indica, sp. nov. 



c? . Head: vertex blackish, face brown, underside of head and 

 the palpi yellow ; antennal scape and base of 1st joint of flagellum 

 yellow, rest of flagellum brown. Thorax yellowish brown, with 

 short yellow hairs and stiffer bristly hairs around the margins ; 

 pleurae with a slight violet tinge. (Scutellum and metauotum 

 damaged.)' Abdomen blackish, of seven elongated, subcylindrical 

 segments with yellowish grey pubescence. Genitalia very large, 

 bulbous, blackish brown, hairy and bristly, with a ventral plate. 

 Legs yellowish ; tarsi barely darker. Wings pale greyish, highly 

 iridescent, base of upper branch of 4th longitudinal vein indis- 

 tinct ; halteres yellow. 



Length 3| millim. 



Described from a single male in the Indian Museum taken bv 

 me at Darjiling, 6000 ft., 1.x. 08. 



The middle ocellus is not visible, owing to a slight crushing of 

 the top of the head ; it may or may not be present. Otherwise, 

 except the slight damage to the scutellum arid meianotum caused 

 by the pin, the specimen is perfect. Only three species are 

 known two fossil ones from Baltic amber, and the third from 

 Indiana, U.S.A. ; it is therefore interesting to find the genus in 

 the Himalayas.
