portion of the latter, in wliich it becomes very faint, and so 

 rcachinf>- tlie posterior marji:in of the wing ; the distal edge 

 of the transverse band commences on the costa, nsually a 

 little way beyond the end of the first longitudinal vein, forms 

 a conspicuous projecting angle in the first submarginal cell, 

 below which angle it is noticeably emarginate, and from the 

 fourth longitudinal vein follows a somewhat irregular or 

 slightly sinuous course to the vein forming the proximal 

 boundary of the third posterior cell, after which it becomes 

 obliterated ; with the excei)tiou of its proximal margin, 

 therefore, the transverse band does not reach the posterior 

 margin of the wing, but becomes obliterated in the fourth 

 and fifth posterior cells ; dark brown border next costa at 

 tip of wing commencing a short distance beyond transverse 

 band (sometimes narrowly connected with distal margin of 

 latter), and terminating just below distal extremity of 

 anterior branch of third longitudinal vein ; first basal cell 

 with an ill-defined brownish longitudinal streak at its 

 proximal extremity, second basal cell also slightly infuscated 

 at extreme base. Squama light sepia-coloured, border 

 darker. Holteres clove-brown. Lerjs : coxa? grey, clothed 

 with whitish hair, front ])air yellowish poUinose at base ia 

 front and sometimes with an ochraceous ground-colour ; 

 femora clothed with whitish hair, front pair clove-brown, 

 more or less tawny at base, middle and hind femora greyish 

 clove-brown, more or less tawny above, sometimes wholly 

 tawny except extreme tips; front tibise not incrassate, clove- 

 brown, more or less raw-unibcr-colonred at base ; front 

 tarsi clove-brown, tips of middle and hind tarsi dark brown.

With reference to this species the collector writes as 

 follows: — "Native name ' fi/iidambo,' or wild boar fly. 

 Numerous only in certain localities, which are wooded, well 

 watered, and generally the haunts of wild boars, but not 

 neccssarilj'^ of cattle. Prci'crs the shade, and is more 

 numerous in the forest and in the evening. Bite very 

 sharp." 



From C/irysops madugoscarensis, Hicardo, — the only 

 species of the present genus from Madagascar hitherto 

 described, — C. /ij/rut/na is distinguishable inter alia by the 

 wing-markings and coloiation of the til)iiie. In C. inadagas- 

 carensis the wing-markings resemble those of the species 

 tlescribed below as C. I/oi/di, being blackish clove-brown in 

 colour, and the transverse band being much broader than
