EXOPEOSOPA. 201 



towards and over each side ; on the 2nd segment towards each 

 anterior corner is a circular spot of yellowish- white scales ; this 

 pair of spots is duplicated on the 3rd and 4th segments, the scales 

 forming them being less yellow on the 3rd segment and nearly 

 white on the 4th ; oih segment bearing no white spots, but 6th and 

 7th each with a similar pair of white scale-spots ; sides of 2nd 

 segment with long yellow hairs anteriorly (as in 1st segment) and 

 black hairs posteriorly ; sides of remaining segments with thick 

 black pubescence. Venter black, with small closely impressed 

 black scales and thin black pubescence ; sexual organs too con- 

 cealed for observation. Leg* wholly black, with ordinary pubes- 

 cence ; tibia? with obvious closely impressed small black scales and 

 two distinct rows of bristles on hind pair, with numerous others 

 more or less arranged in longitudinal rows ; hind femora with a 

 little soft black hair and a row of distinct, fairly long bristles on 

 underside. Wings with about anterior half deep blackish brown, 

 the colour filling the marginal cell except the tip, thence running 

 parallel to the hind margin of the wing, filling half the 1st 

 posterior cell ; thence retreating, filling barely half the discal cell ; 

 thence extending to the hind angle of the wing, filling half the 

 anal and axillary cells. An oval spot at tip of 2nd vein, joining 

 the costa and also the extremity of the costal darkening ; a spot 

 at fork of 3rd vein, another over the cross-vein joining the 2nd 

 vein, and another over the posterior cross-vein ; all the spots 

 concolorous and contiguous to the main expanse of colour. Alar 

 squamae black, with short fringe of bright yellow hair; halteres 

 black. 



Length, 14 mm. ; expanse, 34 mm. 



Described from a single perfect specimen in the Indian Museum 

 from Kousauie, Garb wal State, 6075 ft.,22. vii.1914 (Col. Tyiler). 



The wing-markings are very nearly similar to those of E. annan- 

 dalei, figured in Rec. Ind. Mus. ii, pi. xii, fig. 20, except that in 

 this latter species the colour is of a much lighter brown.

tS Head with f rons at vertex about two-thirds as wide as at level 

 of antenna?, where it is less than one-third the width of the head ; 

 covered with dull brownish tomentnn or dust with a tinge of yellow, 

 sparsely beset with stiff black hairs ; lower part of f rons with 

 depressed black scales, which in certain lights exhibit a silvery 

 lustre; face distinctly produced into a blunt cone, covered thickly 

 with similar black scales (shining silvery) and long bristly hairs 

 as on frons ; upper edge of mouth-opening furnished with very 

 long, thin, dark brown scales ; mouth-opening and proboscis brown, 

 latter extending forward as far as tip of antennas. Antenna?

 with a style as long as the joint itself, bearing a pale elongate thick
