cloud at the fork of Mi^^ ; indistinct seams along veins M 

 and Cu ; veins pale brown, those in tlie costal region more 

 yellowish brown. Venation : lis strongly arcuated at 

 origin; cell 1.9/ ilfj I'aiher short, the inner end only mode- 

 rately pointed and prolonged ; basal deHection ot" Cui beyond 

 mid-length ot cell ^st M^ ; cell Mx shorter than its petiole. 



Abdominal tergites obscure yellowish, the ends of the 

 eighth and ninth tergites brown ; sternites yellow with a 

 narrow, dark biown, median stripe that is but narrowly 

 interrupted at the caudal margins of the segments ; lateral 

 margins of the sternites narrowly dark brown.

Cli/donodozus pallidistigrna, sp. u. 



Male. — Length 15 mm. ; wing 12*6 mm. 



Generally similar to C. breviceiluius, ditferiug as follows : — 



Mesonotal praescutum reddish brown with three darker 

 brown stripes, the median stripe entire ; legs with tlie 

 femora dark brown, the tips broadly black, especially those 

 of the fore legs, those ol the hind legs narrower; tibiie 

 black, the bases narrowly paler ; tarsi black. Wings with 

 the pattern narrowly streaked longitudinally, not clouded 

 and banded as in C. breviceiluius ; costal cell and cell 2nd A'l 

 are strongly intuscated and weakly marmorate, but cell Sc 

 is light \ellow to the apex, so the siigmal region is con- 

 spicuously pale ; longitudinal veins inconspicuously seamed 

 with bro\\n, most distinct on Rs and iiy ; veins dark brown. 

 Venation : Rs with an interrupted cross-vein as in C.puncli- 

 costa and other species ; lis and R^ m direct alignment ; 

 cell \st A/j rather long and pointed at the inner end; basal 

 deflection of Cuy beyond mid-length of cell \st M^ ; cell My 

 a little shorter than its petiole. 



Abdomen yellow with the median stripe on the sternites 

 very distinct, dark brown, passing into black on the distal 

 segments and scarcely interrupted at the caudal margins of 

 the segments.
