and pale brown or golden scales on lateral lobes; scutellar sets long, 

 l)rown. Metanotum pale brown with four rows of dark brown setse, those 

 laterad being dense and long; meso- and metapleuras pale, with a dark 

 bro^^■n, horizontal, interrapted fascia extending from the prothoracic lobes 

 to posterior margin of metapleura, ventrad to which is a horizontal fascia 

 of white scales, followed ventrad by another brown fascia. The brown 

 fasciae are coloi-ations of the integument, the white one is caused by scales. 



Halteres pale, dark-tipped. 



Abdomen paler than thorax, uniforml}' colored and with apical golden 

 cilia on each segment. 



Femoi-a very pale giey-brown basally, darker apically, as are tibiiE and 

 tarsi; wings with short oval and long narrow scales on costa, subcosta 

 and first longitudinal vein; the second to sixth longitudinal veins with 

 long, oval, median and long, narrow, lateral scales, all pale brown except 

 those on subcosta which are grey; second posterior cell two-thirds length 

 of fu'st submarginal ; its stem one-half longer than that of the latter. 

 Supernumerary and mid cross veins touching at their extremities and 

 foi-ming an obtuse angle (140°). Posterior cross vein double its length 

 from mid cross vein. Fringe scales uniformly pale brown. 



S , length 3. .5-4 millimeters, length of wing 2.5 millimeters, length of 

 proboscis 1.5 millimeters; differs from 2 in having the pleural fasciae 

 more sharply defined; in having white scales on the occiput with few 

 interspersed, erect, forked scales, and in having the abdominal segments 

 clothed laterally and ventrally with dense, long hairs standing at right 

 angles to the body axis. The extreme apex of the proboscis is pale; 

 palpi I5 times length of proboscis; two apical segments recurved and 

 clothed with dense lateral hairs of the same color as those on antennje 

 Avhich are concolorous with mesonotuin. 



Ungues of fore and mid tarsi long, curved, unequal, the larger being 

 unidentate before the middle. 



"Wings similar to those of 9 except that there are practically no lateral 

 scales on the veins save at the extremities of the first and second longitud- 

 inal and the forks of veins II and lY. All other veins have median 

 scales only.

Bred from water of esteros. Eggs hatched 14 May 1909, adults 

 emerged 24 May 1909. 



Type of S and 9 No. 11459 in Entomological Collection, Bureau of 

 Science, Manila, P. I. 



This species i-esembles C. faiigans Wied., only in the color of the 

 mesonotum and the general appearance of the legs. It has not the 

 abdominal banding of faiigans, nor does faiigans have the pleural fasciae 

 as in taytayensis.
