all the posterior cells widely open but the first one slightly narrowed 

 at the margin, discal cell very broad, but not very longer than the se- 

 cond posterior cell, and the anal cell closed with a long petiole ; the 

 upper branch of the cubital fork without the recurrent veinlet. Squamae 

 in the alar pair pale yellowish grey with a dark brown margin and a 

 rather conspicuous brown fringe except for the long yellowish brown 

 tuft about the angle ; in the thoracal pair brownish grey with a brown 

 margin and a little longer pale brown fringe ; halteres dark reddish 

 brown with the knob fresh pale yellow on the apical half. 



Legs nearly uniformly pale castaneous brown, obscured by a 

 thick close black pubescence ; front coxae moderately dilated and about 

 two-third as long as the front femora, obscured by a yellowish brown 

 tomentum, and clothed with numerous long rather soft blackish pubes- 

 cence which becomes shorter towards the apex ; front femora with the 

 broad and hollowed out transversely striolate subfemoral bare space 

 shining, with a long and dense very conspicuous black fringe on the 

 outside, and with a short inconspicuous black pubescence which extends 

 below to the inner margin of the subfemoral space at where there is a 

 short black ciliation of not dense bristly hairs ; the middle femora bear- 

 ing the long and rather conspicuous black fringes on both the outer 

 and inner sides of which the outer one is slightly longer and more 

 conspicuous, and covered with shorter black pubescence on the rest 

 except on about the apical half of the underside nearly bare and shin-

 surface, and bearing a very conspicuous black lower fringe of long 

 rather soft hairs and less conspicuous similar coloured upper fringe 

 which becomes conspicuously shorter towards the apex ; front tibiae 

 not dilated but slightly curved as usual, covered with numerous short 

 depressed blackish pubescence ; the posterior tibiae covered with a
