species, with all the tibiae densely fringed and the posterior 

 femora with white hairs on their lower border." The hind 

 tibise have a very thick black fringe, and with the white- 

 haired femora should easily distinguish the species. The 

 antennae are long, the first joint being longer than the second 

 and third together and is a little incrassate ; the second is 

 very small, the third rather long and slender. The wings 

 are of the ordinary type and have three distinct rosettes, the 

 apical band reaching across the apex ; the appendix is long. 

 The frontal callus is large, reddish, with the black paired 

 spots above. 



Hcematopota singularis, ? , sp. n. 



Type (female) from Nhatrang, Annam, 22. x. 1905 

 (Dr. Vassal). 



This species I had placed under //. cilipes, Bigot, in my 

 paper on Hcematopota in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xviii. 

 (August 1906) p. 126; but since that was published I havii 

 had the opportunity of examining the type of H. cilipes in the 

 Paris Museum, and find this is quite a different species, not 

 previously described ; it is related to //. rulAcla, Eicardo, 

 from Burmah, in the wings and also in the fringed incrassate 

 hind tibife, but differs from it in having all the femora and 

 tibiae fringed, in this resembling H. cilipes, Bigot, and H. lata^ 

 Ricardo, with which it should be placed in the table on p. 114. 

 It is a handsome small black species with densely hairy legs, 

 and is immediately noticeable by the pale streak across the 

 brown wings, which have no rosettes apparent, thus differing 

 with H. rubida considerably from the other described species 

 of Hcematopota from the Oriental Region. In the shape of 

 the antennae it resembles H. rubida, with the long incrassate 

 first joint, the very small second joint, and the broad basal 

 division of the third joint, the last division being small and 

 short. 



Face grey, the whole upper part deep black, the lower half 

 grey, with white hairs ; the beard and uuderpart of head also 

 with white hairs. Palpi yellow, with short black pubescence 

 and some longer white hairs. Frontal callus black, shining, 

 narrow, almost reaching the eyes ; forehead brownish, with 

 grey markings surrounding the two black spots and continued 

 across the forehead ; there is a tuft of white hairs on each side 

 of the forehead on the outer border of the black spot and 

 reaching the frontal callus ; on each side of the forehead 

 bordering the eyes there is a narrow grey border of tomentura. 

 Antennae yellow, in shape as described above, with long black
