clai'k brown, narrowly yellowish silvery adjoining the margin 

 of the eyes. 



Pi'onotnm yellow, dark brown medially. Mesonotal 

 pr^escutura with a narrow brown median stripe, the lateral 

 margins broadly obscure yellow ; remainder of mesonotnm 

 sunshiny yellowish brown. Pleura reddish yellow. Halteres 

 yellow, the knobs dark brown. Legs with the coxre and 

 trochanters testaceons ; femora brownish testaceous, passing 

 into a darker subterminal ring, the apices narrowly obscure 

 yellow ; tibise and tarsi brown, the terminal segments of the 

 latter darker. Wings greyish yellow, cells C, Sc, \st Sci, 

 2nd Sci, \st Ri, and along vein Cu strongly yellowish ; 

 stigma and a seam along the snpernnmerary cross-vein in 

 cell SCi strongly seamed with brown ; an indistinct and 

 narrow infuscation along cord ; veins brown. Venation : 

 Sc short, Sci extending to just beyond the fork of Rs, Sc^ a 

 short distance from the tip of Sc^, beyond the origin of Rs ; 

 a supernumerary cross-vein in cell Sci more than its length 

 before r; the veins forming the cord {Rs, deflection of i?4^_5, 

 r-m, and deflection of Mi_^_^ all subequal in length) ; veins 

 i?2-(-3 ^"d /?4_,_5 both turned strongly caudad beyond two- 

 thirds their length ; cell 1st Ah elongate, snbrectangular ; 

 m about one-half longer than deflection of M^ ; basal de- 

 flection of Cui before mid-length of cell \st ilfg. 



Abdominal tergites indistinctly bicolorous, the basal half 

 of each segment dark brown, the broad caudal margin 

 obscure yellow ; sternites obscure brownish yellow.

Libnutes si/baqiialis is closest to L. sarnoensis,- Alexander 

 (Samoa), differing chiefly in the venational details, i.e., the 

 longer Sc^, short and straight Rs, position of the supernu- 

 merary cross-vein in cell Sci, the small cell 1^^ Mn, and the 

 stronger caudal deflection of the branches of the sector.

Size small (wing, c?, under 4 mm.); head grey; thoracic
