408 A. E. Eaton — Notes on some native Epheirieridae. [No. 4, 



tarsi uni-unguiculate. Terminal jointlets of the forceps-limbs nearly 

 of one length, or the last a little longer. Length of body 25 m. m. 



POLINGENIA MINOR, Sp. nOV. 



Three adult (? specimens much damaged by cabinet pests : 2 label- 

 led " Karachi Mus." and 1 labelled " Nattor." Wings dull white, with 

 sub-opaque neuration ; under a lense, in some lights, the cross- veinlets 

 are bordered with milk-white. Neuration fairly comparable to that of 

 P. ampla {of., Trans. Linn. Soc. London, 2nd Series, Zool. iii. pi. i. 1 c) 

 but with the veinlets that end in the posterior half of the terminal mar- 

 gin shorter. Head brown ochre, blackish around the ocelli. Mesonotum 

 light brown ochre, darker than the pronotum. Legs from some stand- 

 points concolorous with the venter, the tarsi and hinder tibiae shifting, 

 with change of posture, to whitish. Colouring of abdomen effaced by 

 pests, in the larger (Karachi) specimens ; in the smaller (Nattor) one 

 the dorsum is whitish ochre with whitish joinings anteriorly, but pos- 

 teriorly is very light brown ochre, clouded in segments 6 and 7 to a small 

 extent, and to a larger extent (half across the back) posteriorly in seg- 

 ments 8 and 9 with dark grey. Setae extremely light brownish ochre in 

 tint, uniformly pubescent. Fore tarsus little shorter than the tibia : 

 joint 1 short, 5 rather longer than 2, 3 subequal to or little shorter than 

 2 and rather longer than 4 ; tibiae and tarsi finely and transversely 

 rugose. Terminal jointlets of the forceps-limbs of one length in the 

 ]Nattor specimen, but in those from Karachi Mus. the last jointlet is 

 rather the longer. Length of wing (Karachi exempl.) about 17, set» 

 about 50 m. m. 



POLYMITAECYS Sp.— 



A single fragmentary 5 of undescribed species, labelled "Raneeganj." 

 In this genus discrimination is at present unsatisfactory owing to the 

 meagreness of published descriptions. The specimen now under consi- 

 deration differs from P. indicus, Piotet, in the colouring of the thorax 

 and hinder legs. Whether his species can ever be indentifled is exces- 

 sively doubtful in the absence of precise record of locality of capture. 

 Reference to the "East Indies " as the domicile of an insect is of little 

 use to any but the general reader. 



Genus (unascertainable). 



One defective 2 subimago labelled " Sibs. S. E. P.," lacking the 

 fore legs and the last 3 segments of the body, and having the fore wings 

 badly folded up out of shape. This insect^ judging from the wingSj
