424 B. Brunetti : Oriental Leptidce. [Voi.. II, 



Legs. — (Middle pair wanting.) Tawny yellow, fore tibiae 

 yellowish white ; hind tibiae rather brownish, paler towards tip ; 

 tarsi tawny brown. 



Wings. — Pale grey. A moderatel^^ dark brown apical spot 

 begins on the costa in a straight line with the fork of the third longi- 

 tudinal vein, extends thence to the tip of the wing, and posteriorly 

 until it fills half the first posterior cell, also the whole of the second 

 posterior cell, and then, by bending slightly outwards, the greater 

 part of the third posterior cell. 



A brown streak also begins at the inner cross-vein, passes 

 over the basal part of the discal cell, passes longitudinally through 

 the fourth posterior cell, nearly filling it, and spreading over part 

 of the fifth posterior cell also ; and on attaining the border, ex- 

 tending each way, meeting on one side the hind part of the apical 

 spot, and extending on the inner side towards the anal lobe of 

 the wing. No distinct stigma. Halteres tawny yellow. 



Described from one 2 in the Indian Museum collection from 

 Margherita. It is in fair condition, except for the absence of part 

 of the antennae and the middle legs. 



N .B. — As Walker's two species of Leptis prove to belong to 

 the genus Chrysopilus {decisa and impar), there now remain in 

 this genus only Osten Sacken's uniguttata, and my new one.

Head. — Frons with a deep vertical central groove, terminat- 

 ing before reaching the vertex, on which the three brownish yellow 

 ocelli are very prominent. Frons, just above antennae, grey dus- 

 ted, the remainder of it shining black, quite smooth. Face below 

 antennae, and cheeks, grey dusted. Antennae brownish yellow, 

 third joint darker, with long arista. Proboscis light brown (tip 

 broken off) : palpi blackish brown, lighter at base. Byes black, 

 facets of uniform size. Back of head bluish grey with fringe of 

 yellow hair, which behind the vertex is replaced by two or three 

 irregular rows of stout black bristles. 



Thorax. — Light brown, with sparse, short hair. Sides with 

 a slight yellowish tinge ; metanotum lighter. Scutellum light 

 brown. (Though in the unique type the scutellum is bare, there 

 are traces of it having borne bristles along the posterior border ; 

 and others, to a less extent, on the dorsum.) 



Abdomen. — Light brown, nearly bare ; posterior borders of 

 segments narrowly blackish. Belly light brown with a central 

 blackish stripe.
