Wings. — lyight brownish grey, unmarked. Halteres lemon- 

 yellow. 



Described from one cf from Soondrijal (Nepal), which is the 

 type specimen, also from a 2 from Mussoorie. Both of these are 

 in the Indian Museum, with Bigot's type specimen (from Sikhim), 

 which is, however, in such bad condition that it is necessary to 

 select another specimen as the type of the species, although it 

 can be seen that Bigot's example is undoubtedly of this species. 

 The species is also in the Pusa collection, taken by Mr. Howlett 

 in September 1906, at Mussoorie. 



N .B. — The two species by Vollenhoven, blumei and tessellatus, 

 from Java and Sumatra, respectively, are not known to me, des- 

 criptions not being available ; I therefore describe this species 

 as new, the wide difference in locality rendering it highly probable 

 that it is distinct,

N .B. — These are in all probability true ExoprosopcB, as Loew 

 would hardly have confounded the genus with any other. 



7. singularis, Macq., 1840, Dip. Ex., ii, i, 



41 (319), 5 , pi. xvii, 3 (wing).. Arabia. 



N.B. — A true Exoprosopa with the peculiarity of having the 

 first posterior cell divided by a cross- vein placed just before the 

 middle. This may be accidental but Macquart mentions its pres- 

 ence in the only four specimens examined.
