then slightly contracting again, viewed from the side 

 expanding from base almost to tip, upper angle of second 

 joint moderately produced, third joint elongate and tapering, 

 dark brown, basal third dull ochrareous - rufous, last 

 three aunuli clove-brown. Tliorax : dorsum with usual 

 three stripes yellowish grey, median stripe very narrow, 

 admedian stripes interrupted beyond expansions behind 

 transverse suture, but with broader continuations projecting 

 forward from crescentic grey marks on high margin ; pectus, 

 pleiirte, and sides of dorsum yellowish grey; tip oi scutellum 

 smoke-grey. Abdomen: second segment paler above; venter 

 yellowish grey, clothed with short appressed yellowish hair. 

 fVint/s : usual three rosettes distinct though faint, each 

 rosette consisting of a single series of marks ; sinuous light 

 mark at apex very indistinct, sometimes almost obsolete, 

 extending from below tip of second longitudinal vein to 

 lower branch of third vein, but almost obliterated in second 

 submarginal cell, continued as a series of detached oblique 

 marks across posterior cells, faint light marks sometimes 

 present on hind margin in distal angles of some of the 

 posterior cells ; upper portion of rosette round fork of third 

 longitudinal vein extending to costa, sometimes appearing as 

 a small subquadrate light spot at distal end of stigma; 

 discal cell with two light marks across middle, but without 

 light marks at extremities ; rosette round tips of basal cells 

 incomplete above and below, its proximal border continued 

 into a zigzag mark running down to hind margin of wing ; 

 first basal cell with a transverse light mark just before 

 middle, second basal cell with a similar mark at end of basal 

 third ; axillary cell with a semicircular light mark cutting off 

 basal angle; st'i(jina mummy-bi'own or dark brown, elongate, 

 and clearly defined ; alula uniformly sepia-coloured. Halteres 

 cream-butt^ knob brownish at base above and below. Legs : 

 front tibioe scarcely incrassate, hind tibice not inciassate,

Hmnatopota inornata is most nearly allied to H. ugandce, 

 Ricardo (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. xviii. 1906, 

 p. 105), another Uganda species, from which it may be 

 distinguished inter alia by the absence of a dark brown 

 median stripe on the abdomen, by the rosettes on the wings 

 not having lighter centres, and by the absence of a distinct 

 light mark below the costa at the proximal end of the 

 stigma.
