Charadromyia ahnormis sp. nov. 



Length 2.7mm., wing 2.2 mm. 



Except for its much smaller dimensions and the remarkable claws 

 of the male, this species closely resembles its larger congener, differ- 

 ing in the following characters: 



Head, thorax and abdomen dark brown, and decidedly pruinose; 

 legs rusty brown; wings pale fuscous, having a whitish appearance 

 in life; antennae seven-jointed and identical in both sexes, the basal 

 joint large and bulbous, but not longer than broad and without the 

 slight median constriction present in C. forreuticolu; tarsal ratio as in 

 C. torrent irola; claws of male with lateral pectinations, evidently an 

 elaboration of the bifid type. Male claspers, wings and venation as in 

 C. tor rent kola. 



Hab. Kilaiiea, Kauai.
