very narrow, the inner end acutely pointed; m-cu longer than 

 m, almost in alignment with M 3+4 , beyond midlength of cell 1st 

 M 2 ; basal deflection of Cu t about one-half its length beyond the 

 fork of M 3+4 . 



Abdomen pale yellow; ovipositor with the valves pale. 



Habitat. — Formosa. 



Holotype, female, Tattaka, altitude about 7,400 feet (about 

 2,250 meters), August 17, 1921 (T. Esaki). Paratopotypes, 1 

 female, with the type; 1 female, August 19, 1921. 



Trichocera flavoides is perhaps only a variety of T. flava 

 Brunetti of northern India, but there are some venational and 

 colorational characters that seem to be of more than subspecific 

 importance. Trichocera flava is the same as Paracladura gracilis 

 Brunetti, an earlier name, but as there is already a Trichocera 

 gracilis Walker, the name flava should be used. 

 Libnotes subopaca sp. nov. 



General coloration orange-yellow; femora obscure yellow, the 

 tips broadly dark brown; wings with a strong fulvous tinge, 

 the stigma and a small apical spot darker brown; basal deflec- 

 tion of Cu x at two-fifths the length of cell 1st M 2 . 



Male. — Length, 10 millimeters, wing, 13.7. Rostrum dark 

 brown ; palpi brownish black. Antennae dark brown, the second 

 scapal segment obscure brownish yellow. Head saturated ful- 

 vous yellow; vertex between the eyes narrow. 



Mesonotal praescutum orange-yellow, the remainder of the 

 notum and the pleura more yellow. Halteres dark brown, the 

 base of the stem narrowly yellow. Legs with the coxae and 

 trochanters yellow; femora obscure yellow, the tips broadly 

 dark brown; tibiae yellow, the tips narrowly darkened; tarsi 

 yellowish brown, the terminal segments dark brown. Wings 

 with a strong fulvous tinge; stigma conspicuous, elongate, 

 brown; extreme tip of the wing in cells 2d R u R 3 , and R 5 

 narrowly infuscated; veins dark brown. Venation: Sc 2 at tip 

 of Sc x ; r long, bent almost at a right angle ; m and outer deflec- 

 tion of M 3 subequal in length, the inner ends of the cells in 

 alignment; basal deflection of Cu, at two-fifths the length of cell 

 1st M 2 . 



Abdomen orange-yellow, the lateral line narrowly infuscated ; 

 hypopygium dark brown. 



Habitat.— Formosa. 



Holotype, male, Urai, altitude about 1,500 feet (about 450
