H. philpotti Miller, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 45, p. 202, figs. 9 and 10, 
1913. 
In fig. 10 the vein Sc should not be evanescent, but should meet the 
costa, though indistinctly. The cone-shaped protuberance referred to in 
the original description is really the very short genital appendage. 
H. flavinceris n. sp. 
5. Eyes emarginate at antennae, narrowly approximated for a dis- 
tance on front below ocellar triangle, which is prominent and tawny, but 
greyish-brown pruinose to black in some lights; ocelli orange; a pai 
of short ocellar bristles and several minute ones behind (fig. 42). Front 
very narrow at approximation of eyes but broadening below to antennae, 
gently descending along eye approximation but almost vertically from 
thence to antennae, thus angulate in profile; tawny and greyish-brown 
pruinose; a double row of delicate and short hair-like orbital bristles, 
not extending to line of antennae, which are inserted about the middle 
line of head; first and second joints tawny and greyish-pruinose, with 
oral margin not extending very close to antennae. Cheeks very much 
each orbit clothed with short black bristles merging into long golden 
stiff hairs below; in bristly area toward vertex is a regular system of 
chaetae (fig. 42). 
horax tawny, greyish-yellow pruinose, pleurae black in some lights ; 
dorsum somewhat arched, testaceous in some lights, with four darker 
longitudinal stripes seen when light falls from in front; chaetotaxy as 
in fig. 43, there being very few strong bristles ; pleurae bare except pro- 
pleurae, which are clothed with delicate yellow hairs extending on to 
umeral areas. Scutellum with triangular testaceous area at base, other- 
Wise tawny, with four pairs of erect marginal bristles. 
Wings faintly tinged with tawny; veins tawny; vein Se not evanes- 
cent but meeting costa; R, strongly curved forward after leaving R;. 
Halteres tawny. | 
ѕ tawny, darker at apex of tarsi, not strongly bristled but bristles 
more distinct at apices of joints; anterior protarsi somewhat thickened з 
pulvilli tawny ; claws black on distal half but tawny on basal half, owing 
to tawny pubescence. i.d 
Abdomen rich brownish-yellow, but tawny across posterior margin of 
each segment and at sides; clothed with long delicate tawny hairs, 
Which become bristle-like on apical segment and laterally on posterior 
Margin of each segment. Along sides of abdomen are clear pit-like spots. 
Genital appendage almost as long as body, tawny in colour but fuscous 
along lower edge.
