to a point midway between the base of the wing and the ptero- 

 stigma. 



Head : Lower surface black, extremities of lower lip yellow. 

 Upper lip yellow with a fine vertical median black line ; genre 

 yellow ; the rest of the upper surface black. 



Prothorax black, a pair of minute yellow dots on the anterior 

 lobe, and on either side three irregular yellow marks. 



Thorax dorsally black, with a narrow irregular antehumeral 

 band of an orange-yellow colour, broken up into three parts on 

 either side : of these the uppermost part curves outwards and 

 downwards to join the yellow of the lateral surface. There is a 

 small black mark at the top of the second suture. Under surface

Wings of Bhinoneura villosipes, S • 



Legs black, anterior surface of trochanters brown. The legs 

 tire long and slender. The third pair of femora carries on the 

 dorsal surface of each a remarkable " fur " composed of very 

 numerous short hairs, the longest of which are scarcely equal in 

 length to the normal cilia of the anterior margins (text-fig. 5 A). 

 The tibia? are not dilated. The femora of the second pair of legs 

 show a trace of "fur" similar to that of the third pair, but by 

 no means so well developed. 



The abdomen is entirely black, save for the dorsal surfaces of 

 segments 1, 2, 3, 4, which are marked with brick-red, with black 

 terminal rings. Segment 2 has a small black JL-shaped mark 

 running back from its anterior margin. In 3 the narrow black 

 apical ring encloses a pair of small, circular, red points. The red 

 colour of 4 extends about four-fifths of the length of the segment, 

 running to a fine point apically as it disappears. 



Anal appendages black, the upper pair longer than segment 10, 

 cylindrical, sharply incurved at their middles, crossing each other
