band interrupted in middle and with two pale side-spots ; these 

 spots occur on each succeeding segment also, and are visible, with 

 the interrupted band, through absence of tornentum ; venter pale 

 yellowish red, with a darker mark at sides of each segment. Leys 

 with coxa?, trochanters, and femora of both anterior pairs yellowish 

 red, with moderately long concolorous pubescence ; tibiae fawn- 

 yellow with reddish-brown tips ; hind femora long, thin basally, 

 thence distinctly clubbed ; the thin part fawn-coloured, the 

 clubbed part reddish yellow ; last tarsal joint and pulvilli reddish 

 yellow, the other joints fawn-colour with darker tips ; claws 

 dark brown. 



Length, 10 mm ; wing, 11*4 mm. 



Described by Wandolleck originally from a type J from 

 Sumatra, and Lichtwardt subsequently recorded another 6 from 

 Boss I., Andaman Is., v. 1904 {Col. 0. T. Bine/ham): 



Type in Herr Dohrn's collection at Stettin ; the second speci- 

 men in the British Museum.

Genotype, Colax javana, Wd., or C. macula, Wd.* 



Moderate-sized species with peculiar tomentose-iike pubescence 

 and dark-coloured and spotted wings. Epistome Gilstrid-like ; eyes 

 in <$ subcontiguous for a short space ; ocelli absent ; proboscis 

 not obvious, if projecting from mouth-opening, hidden in the long 

 hair of the face ; antennas 3-jointed, much as in Hirmoneura. 

 Thorax subquadrate, rather broader than long ; abdominal seg- 

 ments somewhat puckered-up just before the hind margins, forming 

 a blunt ridge ; genitalia in <$ short, tip with a broader base, in 2 

 longer with sabre-shaped lamellae. Hind femora slightly thicker ; 

 first and last tarsal joints each as long as remaining three together. 

 Wings with auxiliary vein short, ending free at about opposite 

 origin of 4th vein ; 1st longitudinal and greater portion of vein 

 " diagonal " considerably thickened ; 3rd vein forked ; 4th vein 

 forked, anastomosed as usual for some distance with 3rd ; lower 

 prong of upper branch not always reaching wing-margin ; f anal 

 cell open, axillary vein present ; thoracic squamae well developed y 

 two submarginal and four posterior cells, 1st sometimes divided 



* Both originally described together on the same page. I cannot per- 

 sonally decide and have seen no species set up as genotype. 



•j- It does not do so in the one example of A. javana that I have seen, but 

 Wandolleck figures it running to the wing-margin, with also a short cross-vein 

 between it and the vein in front (Ent. Nacb. xxiii, p. 246, fig. 1, 1897).
