tooth elongate, the lower indistinct and subapical ; clypeus 

 strongly and determinately discrete, broad and apically truncate ; 

 eyes large, internally emarginate and parallel ; cheeks wanting ; 

 temples distinct and posteriorly rounded ; occiput transverse, with 

 the ocelli large and not contiguous to the eyes. Antennce pale, 

 with the third joint longer than fourth, the first flagellar but 

 slightly longer than the scape. Thorax very finely but distinctly 

 punctate, nitidulous and testaceous-red, with the prothorax 

 apically, two broad mesouotal vittae, callosities beneath radix, a 

 broadly curved mark on mesopleurae, metapleurae apically and 

 below, flavous ; notauli obsolete and very short ; metanotuin 

 glabrous, with no carinae, spiracles elongate. Scittellum broadly 

 flavous and emarginate laterally. Abdomen testaceous-red and 

 somewhat dilated centrally, with the third and the compressed 

 following segments infuscate ; the two basal gradually somewhat 

 widened throughout and glabrous, with no sulcus and their 

 spiracles inconspicuous ; terebra blackish and shorter than the 

 basal segment. Legs immaculate testaceous, with the claws 

 closely and elongately pectinate. Wings clear hyaline and irides- 

 cent ; stigma and costa stramineous ; areolet oblique and triangular; 

 recurrent nervure fenestrate, and continuous with the external 

 submarginal ; internal cubital broadly curved, with indications of 

 the nervelet beyond its centre ; lower basal emitted distinctly 

 beyond upper basal ; nervellus postfurcal and intercepted very 

 distinctly above its centre.

Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



So far from representing a new genus, the type is extremely 

 closely allied to Paniscus fuscicomis, Holmg., and especially to 

 P. brachycerus, Thorns., but is larger, with conspicuous flavescent 

 markings ; Cameron has been led into error by entirely over- 

 looking the strong and very obvious tarsal pectination. He adds 

 that " from the large size of the eyes and more particularly of the 

 ocelli and from the pale coloration I have no doubt that the 

 species is nocturnal."

 ocellar region black ; upper half of face broadly longitudinally 

 sulcate, its centre distinctly and broadly prominent. Thorax: 

 metanotum closely and strongly trans-striate, its apical declivity
