Amphineurus hudsoni n. sp. (Figs. 43, 137.) 
Head dark grey, with. some black hair. Proboscis and palpi black. 
Scape and base of flagellum of antennae ochreous, remainder dark brown. 
' Antennae alike in the two sexes; flagellar joints about three times as long 
as broad, slightly thicker in middle, with verticils little longer than joints. 
Thorax—pronotum, a spot on the shoulders and another in front of wing- 
base yellowish. Mesonotum mainly occupied by three brownish-grey stripes, 
narrowly separated in front by dark-brown lines.  Pleurae pale grey wit 
some dark-brown markings.  Postnotum brownish-grey with|whitish spot 
on each side near base. Abdomen as in А. bicinctus, but male hypopygium 
has only two pairs of claspers, the third (middle) pair being represented by 
minute rudiments ; upper pair longer and more slender than in 4. bicinctus, 
smooth диган for tip, which is blunt and serrated ; ninth tergite has two 
base, and two other rather broad blackish rings, bordered on each edge 
with white; tip rather broadly ochreous-brown.  Tibiae brownish-ochreous, 
with blackish ring near base, bordered with white; tip broadly black, 
preceded by narrow white ring.  Tarsi blackish. Wings much as in 
A. bicinctus, but the pale hairs more numerous, oe in region of cord. 
Halteres ochreous. Length of body, 5 mm. : wing,

also a second female (G. V. on, No. 925). 
The larva feeds in ied soft, wet, decayed portions of the fallen leaves of 
the nikau-palm (Zhopalostylis sapida).

ery distinct species, on account of the almost uniform light-ochreous 
Ка of the whole body, as well as wings and legs; palpi, cross-veins, and 
tips of most of veins being blackish. The male antennae are considerably 
longer than the whole body, all the flagellar joints elongate (especially the 
first) and provided with long pubescence, nearly as long as joints; in female 
the antennae about half as long as body. ale hypopygium has long 
finger-like processes to side-pieces ; two pairs of claspers, upper ones black, 
trilid almost to base, middle branch as lon ng as hairy processes, strongly 
serrate on inner margin ; the other two enc бееде, sinuous, sharp- 
pointed ; the lower pair short, brown. The wing-hai s all ochreous and 
yc distributed over the surface. Length of. body, 5 mm.; wing, 9 mm.

each joint. Male танны essentially similar in structure to that of 
last three species, but very remarkable on account of its asymmetry. The
