tlio tip of /I'l : veins li.. and /?;t grnorally parallel, so cell 

 ^iud liy is very wide at margin; petiole of cell M^ oidy a 

 little loniier tlian the cell ; l)asal deflection of CV, near 

 mid-length of cell 1st M.2. 



Abdomen dark brown, the liypopygium only a little paler. 

 Male hypopygiura with the ninth tergite not produced into 

 lobes, the margin with a very broad notch; i)leurites at 

 apex on mesal face produced into a short subquadrate lobe 

 that is truncated apically ; on nicsal face near mid-length 

 the plcurites are produced into a smaller lobe that is trun- 

 cated at apex. Outer pleural appendage clavate, the apex 

 a squat, black, hook-like spine with a smaller subterminal 

 s|)ine ; inner pleural appendage very small, pale, broadest 

 basally. Eighth sternite with two convergent rows of five 

 spines each. Gonapophyses sinuous, together appearing 

 lyriform,

Limnophila {Metalimnophila) pj'oducta, sp. n. 



Male. — Length 5'5 mm. ; wing 7 mm. 



Female. — Length 6S mm.; wing 7'5 mm. 



Generally similar to L. howesi, sp. n., differing as 

 follows : — 



Size smaller. Basal flagellar segments indistinctly pale 

 at ends. Median pr.TtScutal stripe distinctly divided by a 

 pale median line. Pleural black line very distinct, rather 

 narrow, both the dorsal and ventral margins very clear-cut. 

 Legs with the femoral apices narrowly black(Mied. Wings 

 not so strongly tinged with brown, the stigma pale brown 

 but well-defined. Venation : Rs shorter than L. liowesi : 

 petiole of cell J/, variable in length, from one-fourth to a 

 little more than one-half longei- than the cell. 



Caudal margin of the ninth tergite of the male hypo- 

 pygium with two elongate, slender, slightly divergent lobes, 

 separated by a deep U-shaped median notch. Plcurites at 

 base on mesal face produced into a large tumid lobe, these
