narrow. Wings ^Yith arculus semiobsolete ; Ri conspi- 

 cuously arcuated before tip ; basal deflectiou of Cui at or 

 before the fork of M ; 2nd Anal vein sinuous. 



Type of the subgenus : — Limnophila leucophcBta, Sknse 

 (Australia). 



IMiis new group is apparently related to Dactylolabis, 

 Osten-Sacken, but shows some affinities with Pseudolhnno- 

 phila, Alexander. The discovery of the male sex will be of 

 interest. 



Limnophila (^P aralimnophila) leucuphcela cairnensis, subs p. n. 



Female. — Length 10 mm.; wing 8*7 mm. 



Similar to L. leucophceta, Skuse, differing as follows : — 



Size slightly smaller. Pronotum and humeral region of 

 praescutum yellowish. Thoracic pleuia largely dark brown. 

 Wings pale yellowish subhyaline, the costal cell brown, more 

 yellowish at the tip; cell -S'c largely yellowish ; veins and 

 cells conspicuously clouded with brown, distributed as 

 follows : — Two subhyaline areas in cell R before the origin 

 of Rs, these a little smaller than the dark area between ; a 

 pale area before the stigma ; cell 1^/ M^ pale. Venation : 

 Sci extending to just beyond the fork of R^^z, Sc2 some 

 distance from the tip of Sci, lying far before the fork of Rs, 

 Sci alone longer than the basal deflection o£ Cui ; Ri 

 arcuated opposite r; r about twice its length before the tip 

 of i?i and on R2 a distance about three times R2+3 ; Rs very 

 long ; -R2+3 shorter than the basal deflection of i?4+g ; cell 

 1st Mi very small ; basal deflection of Cui before the fork 

 of M a distance about equal to r-m.

It is probable that more material will give the present 

 form full specific rank.

General coloration shiny coal-black ; thoracic pleura grey

 Avhite ring before the tips of the posterior tibia? ; wings
