426 E. Brunetti : Oriental Leptidce. [Voi,. II, 



Rondani, in erecting the genus in 1850, noted its intermediate 

 character between Leptis and Chrysopilus , having the palpi and 

 antennae of the former, with the venation of the latter. 



CHRYSOPILUS, Macq. 



Of Oriental species this genus is the best represented in the 

 family, as, including two species of Walker's, removed here from 

 Leptis, one new species each by Herr Meijere and Prof. Bezzi, and 

 seven new ones herein described, the total number now amounts to 

 nineteen. 



To draw up a satisfactory table of species is very difficult but 

 the following may serve for the present, and at any rate it will 

 show the relative positions of my new species. I have found it 

 impossible to include Walker's two species, maculipennis and 

 guttipennis , owing to the lines on which I have drawn up m}^ table, 

 as from his descriptions of the wings it is not obvious whether 

 they would come in my group A or AA. 



Of maculipennis he says, "Wings limpid, with three irregu- 

 lar brown bands ; second and third bands broad, connected, 

 adorned with several limpid spots, veins black." 



Of guttipennis he says, ' ' Wings ample, blackish brown, 

 limpid towards the base and with several limpid spots, some of 

 which are confluent, and form a band across the middle ; veins 

 black, yellowish at the base ; halteres yellowish, with a black 

 sub- apical band." 



TaUe of species. 



A Wings either distinctl}^ and darkly ■ / 



mottled {Trypeta-W^Q) or uni- 

 formly dark brown. Long. 3 



to 5 mm. 

 B Wings mottled. 

 C Upper fork of the fourth longitudi- 

 nal vein, emerging with it from 



the upper outer corner of discal 



cell as well-separated veins : 



outer side of discal cell forming 



a distinct angle. Long. 3 mm. albopictus, mihi, sp. nov. 

 CC Above veins emerging practically 



together from extreme upper 



corner of discal cell ; outer side of 



discal cell stra'-ght. Long. 4 mm. marmoratus, mihi, sp. nov. 

 BB Wings uniformly dark brown not 



at all mottled : above veins issue 



as in albopictus, outer side of 



discal cell with an angle. Long. 



5 mm. . . . . . . luciuosus, mihi, sp. nov. 



A A Wings never mottled nor dark 



brown. Either pale grey
