sparsely spotted with brown ; a conspicuous brown area at 

 the stigma, continued caudad along the cord as a seam ; 

 a brown seam at m ; conspicuous brown spots at the wing- 

 margin at the ends of veins R.j+z, ^i+r^, ^^i+i, M.^, Cui, Cti2, 

 and the anal veins ; small brown spots at arculus, origin of 

 Rs and Sco ; veins pale yellow, brown in the infuscated areas. 

 Venation: somewhat as in the genus Teucholahis ; >Sc long, 

 -Sci ending a little beyond mid-length of Rs, Sc^ at the tip of 

 Si ; Rs long, gently arcuated ; r about its length beyond 

 the fork of Rs ; Ri beyond it about one-half of r ; deflection 

 of i?4+5 feebly angulated at mid-length ; R2+3 and R^^^ 

 diverging at wing-margin, so cell R^ is trumpet-shaped ; cell 

 1st M.2 very long, longer than Rs or any of the veins beyond 

 it ; m less than one-half the outer deflection of M^ ; r-m on 

 Mxj^r, about its own length beyond the fork of M ; basal' 

 deflection of Cui just beyond the fork of M. 



Abdomen dark brown, the subterminal tergites con- 

 spicuously 5'ellow. Ovipositor with the valves yellow, 

 flattened, upcurved to the acute tips.

Type in the collection of the British Museum (Natural 

 History). 



Limnobia (?) teucholahina is a species of very doubtful 

 generic position. The type-specimen is a female in indif- 

 ferent condition. Mr. Edwards had arranged the fly in the 

 genus Teuchulabh, which it reseml)les in a rather striking 

 manner, but there seem to be but fourteen antennal segments. 

 Until more material is available, it seems best to place this 

 very interesting fly as an aberrant Limnobia, with the indi- 

 cation that it will probably be found to represent a new 

 generic or subgeneric group when more specimens come to 

 hand.
