of the 3rd vein squamipennis, Brun.,

. Body blackish brown, with brownish grey hairs, which 

 appear much lighter when the light falls on them in a certain 

 direction. 



Head : eyes black, large facets. Antennae : first joint elongate, 

 one and a half times as long as the second, which is short and sub- 

 spherical ; both with some bristly hairs ; flagellum of apparently 

 only thirteen joints, which are cup-shaped, with a central cylin- 

 drical prolongation, each joint bearing a thick verticel of long, 

 close, scale-like, light brownish grey hairs, in addition to some 

 ordinary hairs on each joint ; the last joint tapers to a point 

 and may really be separable into two. Legs with close, greyish 

 pubescence, and some irregularly placed bristles of various 

 lengths ; some stiff black ones on the metatarsus. Wings with 

 the surface between the veins closely covered with distinct, 

 moderately large, brown scales, and both veins and the inter- 

 mediate spaces covered with brown and black hairs. Border 

 of wing with a fringe of long brown hairs, which appear grey 



* Not a yery definite distinction, but the species are certainly distinct.
