502 TIPITLIDjE. 



unmarked. Auxiliary vein ending at some distance beyond the 

 middle of tlie wing, the subcostal ci'oss-vein placed shortly before 

 its tip, connecting it with the 1st longitudinal, which latter ends 

 a little before half the distance between the tip of the auxiliary 

 vein and the tip of the wing; the 2nd vein begins distinctly 

 before the middle of .the wing, well arcuated, forking before the 

 tip of the 1st vein; the prsefurca fully as long as the lower 

 branch ; the marginal cross-vein, which is not very distinct, but 

 obviously present, placed just at the fork of the 2nd vein, the 

 upper branch of which is a good deal shorter than the lower one ; 

 3rd vein originating at right angles from a little anterior to the 

 fork of the 2nd, its basal part short (shorter than the anterior 

 cross-vein), thence running straight to just below the wing-tip y 

 anterior cross-vein and base of discal cell practically in a line 

 with the basal part of the 3rd vein ; discal cell pentagonal, much 

 broader distally, its proximal side somewhat oblique, about as 

 long as the 4th posterior cell ; anterior branch of 4th vein forked 

 near tip, making five posterior cells, of which the 1st is of the 

 same length as the 2nd subinarginal, the 2nd is triangular, the 3rd 

 and 4th subequal, the 5th normal, the posterior cross- vein being 

 situated a little before the middle of the discal cell ; the 5th, 6th r 

 and 7th longitudinal veins nearly straight. Halteres pale brownish 

 yellow. 



Length 3-3^ millim. 



Described from a single specimen of each ssx taken, respectively, 

 7. viii. 09 and 6. viii. 09. at Darjiling (Paiva). 



Types in the Indian Museum. 



The wing agrees exactly with that of the Xorth American 

 species C. indivisa, Os. Sac., except that the marginal cross-vein 

 in my species is a little more proximal and the 2nd posterior 

 cell is triangular, instead of what may be described as attenu- 

 ated bell-shaped, as in indivisa. Incidentally this figure show* 

 no subcostal cross-vein, which, however, is distinctly present in 

 C. flavescens, placed, as stated by Osten Sacken, near the tip of 

 the auxiliary vein. 



Genus PARACLADURA Brun. (PI. X, figs. 9, 10.) 

 Paracladura, Brunetti, Rec. Ind. Mus. vi, p. 286 (1931). 



GENOTYPE, Paracladura yrarilis, Brun. ; by original designation. 



Two subinarginal cells, five posterior cells, a discal cell. 



Differing from Cladura in the face being distinctly though not 

 conspicuously gibbous. The antennae are of a totally different 

 construction altogether ; the scapal joints both being very short, 

 subglobular, no longer than broad, whilst the flagellum is composed 

 of fifteen joints, a very unusual number throughout the family
