heavily marked with dark blotches ; costal and subcostal 

 cells more yellowish ; the brown markings are arranged as 

 follo^ys : at the origin and fork of Rs ; at the tip of R^ and 

 along r ; at the origin and tip of R„ ; along the cord and 

 outer end of cell \st Mo; the cells in the radial field are 

 paler, the wing-apex a little darker ; veins dark brown, C, 

 Sc, and R paler. Venation : r obliqne, inserted on ^2+3 

 about two-thirds of its length before the fork of the latter ; 

 Ro about one-half longer than r ; cell 1st M^ is apparently 

 open by the atrophy of ni; cell R^ about as long as its 

 petiole ; M^ strongly arcuated or angulated at the point of 

 its departure from Cu^, cell M^ being much longer than its 

 petiole ; Cui fused with M slightly before the fork of the 

 latter ; apical fusion of Cu^ and \st A very slight. 



First abdominal tergite dull yellow; remaining segments

Type in the collection of the Bi'itish Museum (Natural 

 History). 



Tj-entepohlia madagascariensis is readily told from all 

 other regional species of the subgenus by the heavily spotted 

 wings. 



Trentepohlia [Mongomd) metatarsatra, sp. n. 



General coloration pale yellow ; mesonotal praescutum 

 without stripes ; femora pale brown, the tips narrowly white ; 

 tibipe white with a moderately broad brown ring beyond the 

 base ; metatarsi black, the remainder of the tarsi pale brown ; 

 wings pale greyish yellow; veins pale brown. 



iSe.rV — Wing 7 "8 mm. 



The unique type is unfortunately in very poor condition, 

 yet the well-mai'ked diagnostic characters are entirely suth- 

 cient to enable the species to be recognized. The head and 

 most of the abdomen are lacking. 



Meso thorax shiny light reddish yellow without darker 

 markings ; scutellum and postnotum but slightly darker. 

 I'leura light yellow. Haltcres pale throughout. Of the legs, 

 only a single one of the anterior pair remains, the coxae and 

 trochanters are light yellow, the distal margin of the latter 

 blackened and produced into an acute tooth ; femora very 

 pale brown, passing into white (about 1*5 mm.) at the ti])s ; 

 tibiie with the extreme base (about 1 mm.) j)ale, followed by 

 an indistinct brown ring (about 4*5 mm.), tiie tips broadly 

 white (about 7"3 mm.) ; metatarsi black, paling into browu
