pliiagtna dark brown. Squamulse whitish; halteres pale 

 yellow, with a reddish knob. 



Abdomen dark yellow, with black hairs, the segments 

 after the first being dark brown ; the ovipositor is a little 

 longer than the abdomen, dark brown towards the base, 

 yellow in the middle and at end, clothed with rather thick 

 black hairs ; it bears at end a strong hook. 



Legs pale yellow, with brownish tibise and tarsi ; femora 

 short pilose, without bristles below. 



Wings greyish hyaline, with a less distinct fuscous pattern, 

 consisting of a dark border on the hind cross-vein and of a 

 dark spot at end of the second longitudinal vein : costa ex- 

 tending to the fourth vein, but very thin after the third ; 

 third vein straight and ending a little before apex of the 

 wino- ; hind cross-vein very long, much longer than its 

 distance from the small cross-vein, a little sinuous, less 

 oblique, the inferior angle of discal cell acute; anal vein 

 short, reaching the hind border with a spurious continuation. 



5. Adapsilia angust'ifrons, sp. n., ? . 



Length of body (with the ovipositor) 11-11*5 mm., of a 

 wing 12-12'5 mm.; breadth of a wing 5-51 mm. 



Type in the British Museum, and an additional specimen 

 in my collection from Kumaon, near Bhowali, 5700 ft., 

 14th June and 2ud July, IDIO, collected at light by Prof.

Very nearly allied to the Japanese Ad. flavopilos >,

Frontal stripe with parallel sides, dull, of a dark reddish 

 colour, brownish near the upper corner of the eyes ; occiput 

 greyish-dusted, dullish, with a brown transverse stripe above 

 near the vertex and two faintly distinct and nariow reddish 

 stripes in the middle, one on each side ; sides of frons, jowls, 

 and face very glittering ; peristoma opaque ; a shining- 

 black spot on the inferior edge of the antennal grooves, 

 continued as a narrow line to the mouth-edge; a shining- 

 black stripe on the peristoma below the eyes. Vertex less 

 prominent, but the frons hollowed before it ; the frons at the 

 base is not broader than an eye, and viewed from the side it 

 appears to be very produced at the base of tlie antenna?, 

 being almost as broad as the eve ; the face is therefore
