dark brown, narrowly yellowish silvery adjoining the margin 

 of the eyes. 



Pronotum yellow, daj-k brown medially. ]\Icsonotal 

 prsescutura with a narrow brown median stripe, the lateral 

 margins broadly obscure yellow ; remainder of mesonotum 

 sunshiny yellowish brown. Pleura reddish yellow. Halteres 

 yellow, the ki'obs dark brown. Legs with the coxje and 

 trochanters testaceous; femora brownish testaceous, passing 

 into a darker subterminal ring, the apices narrowly obscure 

 yellow ; tibiae and tarsi brown, the terminal segments of the 

 latter darker. Wings greyish yellow, cells C, Sc, \st Sc\, 

 2nd Sci, 1st i?], and along vein Cu strongly yellowish ; 

 stigma and a seam along the supernumerary cross-vein in 

 cell Sci strongly seamed with brown; an indistinct and 

 narrow infuscation along cord ; veins brown. Venation : 

 Sc short, Sci extending to just beyond the fork of Rs, Sco a 

 short distance from the tip of Sci, beyond the origin of Hs ; 

 a supernumerary cross-vein in cell Sci more than its length- 

 before r; the veins forming the cord {Rs, deflection of i?4^5, 

 r-7n, and deflection of My^^ ^11 subequal in length) ; veins 

 i?2+3 and /?4+6 both turned strongly caudad beyond two- 

 thirds their length ; cell 1st M^ elongate, subrectangular ; 

 m about one-half longer than deflection of Mg ; basal de- 

 flection of Cui before mid-length of cell \st iJ/g. 



Abdominal tergites indistinctly bicolorous, the basal half

Lihnotes suhaqualis is closest to L. samoensis, Alexander 

 (Samoa), diff'eiing chiefly in the venational details, i.e., the 

 longer Sci, short and straight Rs, position of the supernu- 

 merary cross-vein in cell Sci, the small cell 1*^ il/j, and the 

 stronger caudal deflection of the branches of the sector. 



Amphineurus minusculus, sp. n. 



Size small (wing, S •, under 4 mm.); head grey; thoracic 

 pleura -with two broad, brown, longitudinal stripes th.at 

 enclose a slightly wider light grey area; knobs of tlie 

 halteres whitish; femora and tibiae yellow ; wings tinged 

 with brown, the macrotrichiee white and dark brown.
