.384'' B. Brunetti : Indian Psychodidce. [Voi,. II, 1908.] 



the upper branch of the second vein, and at (or just beyond) the 

 similar fork of the fourth vein. Also about the middle of the sixth 

 and along the seventh, except in its centre. The fringe round 

 the border of the wing is generally greyish white, with an arc of 

 black bristly hairs near the middle of the costa, and just beyond 

 the middle ; on the posterior border between the lower fork of 

 fourth vein, and the fifth ; also from the end of the sixth, nearly 

 to the base of the wing. 



Described from six females taken by me on windows at Darjil- 

 ing during the last few days of September, and on October ist, 

 1908. It was not uncommon. 



N.B. — The patches of black hairs on the wing are by no 

 means of regular size or shape, but the markings of the six 

 examples examined agree fairly well with the distribution of black 

 hairs as herein described. Small irregular patches occur in nearly 

 all the specimens. Sometimes the general appearance of the wing 

 is wholly blackish or black, with a slightly curved band of lighter 

 hairs across it near the tip ; a patch of white hairs in the middle 

 of the costa, and beyond the middle on the hind border, and also 

 at the tip of the wing. 



The species is closely allied to (but, I have no doubt, distinct 

 from) margininotata.
