sparsely scaled though mostly denuded in the specimen. Haltères pale yellowish 

 fuscous subapically. Coxae and base of femora pale yellowish, legs mostly dark brown, 



the claws rather long, slender, simple, the pulvilli 

 a little shorter than the claws. Ovipositor appar- 

 ently a little over half the length of the abdomen, 

 filliform, the tip minute, tapering to an acute 

 apex and sparsely setose.

 de view of the basal antennal horns 

 of the male pupa. 



Pupa. Male. Length 2.25 m.M. Anten- 

 nal cases extending to the base of the abdomen, 

 the fuscous wing cases to the fourth abdominal 

 segment, and the lighter leg cases to the tip ot 

 the abdomen. Antennal spines long, broad, the 

 irregularly tapering distal margin minutely den- 

 tate. Basally there is a stout ventral spine and 

 on the ventral aspect of the pupa, well separated from the antennal spines, there is 

 a median stout curved spine. Thoracic spines long, slender and slightly and peculiarly 

 curved. Dorsum of the abdominal segments with a series (three or four) transverse 

 basal rows of short, stout spines. 



The male genitalia of the nearly mature adult within the pupal exuvium has a 

 short, stout, unidentate terminal clasp segment inserted subapically, the distal lobe of 

 the basal clasp segment being long, narrowly triangular and thickly setose. 



Schizomyia nodosa n. sp. 



A number of these small, very interesting midges were reared. They are 

 remarkable tor the very symmetrical, high circumfila and the trinodose shape 

 of the flagellate antennal segments of the male, a suggestion of the modifica- 

 tion so apparent in the Itonididinariae. The lot bore the following label: 



I, Moschosma polystachum Benth., Semarang, April 1914, DvL. 



Male. Length 1.25 m.M. Antennae about as long as the body, sparsely haired, 

 light brown, 14 segments, the fifth with stems about one fifth the length of the basal 

 enlargement which latter has a length about four times its diameter and rather distinct 

 constrictions at the basal third and just beyond the basal half, the former being most 

 marked and each of the swellings with rather distinct heavy lateral circumfilar loops 

 very suggestive of the short circumfila in certain male Itonididinariae Terminal segment 

 somewhat produced, with a distinct constriction at the basal third and a lighter one 

 just beyond the basal half, the distal portion of the segment being distinctly smaller
