24 Mr. E. E. Austen on new 



quadrate in outline, separated above by a narrow median 

 interspace of saffron-yellow pollen, but connected below by 

 a shining black fsonietimes pai'tly shining mummy-brown) 

 median prolongation, Avhich reaches anterior margin of buccal 

 cavity; pa/jn black, inner surface of terminal joint paler, 

 outer surface of terminal joint clothed with blackish hair; 

 first and second joints of antenna clothed with short black 

 hairs, first joint slightly swollen, second joint dark brown 

 above and on outer side, more or less ochraceons on lower 

 part of inner surface and below, third joint clove-brown. 

 Thorax : dorsum (including upper surface of scutellum) 

 covered with short, erect, whitish hair, pleurse and pectus 

 clothed with longer brown or pale yellowish hair; admedian, 

 yellowish-grey, pollinose stripes on dorsum narrow and 

 sharply defined, commencing on front margin and extending 

 over anterior two-thirds or three-fourths. Abdomen uni- 

 colorons, entirely without markings, clothed above and below 

 with short, apprcssed, whitish hair. Wings : extreme base 

 clove-brown ; first and second basal cells entirely hyaline 

 except at extreme tips; clove-brown costal border including 

 costal cells and a narrow edging to costa, extending from 

 distal margin of transverse band to just beyond tip of ante- 

 rior branch of third longitudinal vein ; proximal extremity 

 of marginal cell inf uscated ; proximal margin of transverse 

 band commencing on second longitudinal vein just before 

 origin of third longitudinal, crossing distal extremity of first 

 basal cell, just touching proximal angle of discal cell, and 

 thence passing somewhat obliquely across anterior portion of 

 distal extremity of second basal cell to meet basal boundaiy 

 of fifth posterior cell at about its centre ; from this point 

 proximal margin of transverse band follows basal and 

 proximal boundaries of fifth posterior cell, passing over into 

 narrow, disral extremity of anal cell, and reaching hind 

 margin of wing at tip of latter ; distal margin of transverse 

 band commencing on costal border a little way beyond distal 

 extremity of stigma, and curving round to meet hind margin 

 of wing at tip of fuurth posterior cell : anal cell usually 

 closed just before reaching wing-margiu. Squanice light 

 sepia, borders dark sepia. Ha I feres clove-brown. Legs 

 clove-brown or dark brown, clothed for most part with 

 similarly coloured hair; first joint of front tarsi, except tip,
