Limnophi'la strigimacula, sp. n. 



Nearly allied to L. marslialli, Hutton, differing as follows : — 

 Antennae distinctly shorter, the flagellar segments barely 

 four times as long as their greatest breadth ; first flagellar 

 segment ochreous, slightly darkened at the base, the re- 

 mainder with the basal half blackish, the apical half ochreous, 

 rather obscurely so on the terminal segments. Postnotum 

 without the black median patch characteristic of L. marsJialli. 

 Hypopygium much as in L. ma?'sAa//i^ particularly as regards 

 the form of the ninth tergite and claspers, but the horny 

 dorso-basal appendage of the side-pieces is stouter and simple 

 (not forked), the membranous flap on the inner ventral face 

 of the side-piece is much larger, and there are, in addition, a 

 pair of straight, pubescent, square-ended, strap-shaped, ventral 

 appendages, which are abent in L. marslialli, though present 

 in a very similar form in L. cyathetij Edw. Wings with 

 markings on mucli the same plan as in L. marshalli, but the 

 spots smaller and the ground-colour of the wings more 

 clouded, especially in the male; spot over base of Rs irre- 

 gular in shape, those over the tip of An and Ax in the form 

 of hollow rings ; the spot in cell M in the form of an elongate
