74: E. E. AUSTEN — A NEW GENLS AND 



torininates just below distal extremity of latter on hind margin of wing ; a 

 short, oblique, and somewhat paler brown band, not connected with costal 

 border, covers posterior transverse vein, projects slightlj above fourth longi- 

 tudinal vein at its upper end, and at its other extremity reaches hind margin 

 of wing so as to cover distal extremity of fifth longitudinal vein ; upper 

 extremity of this band seen against a light background is Isabella colour 

 rather than brown ; base of wing, including first costal cell (inner costal cell of 

 Tioew), proximal extremity of second costal cell, proximal third of first basal 

 coll and proximal half of second basal cell, and greater part of anal cell clove- 

 brown, periphery or at least upper margin of first costal cell narrowly paler ; 

 hyaline area between clove- brown base of wing and main transverse band 

 speckled with clove-brown, in such a way as to form a partial connection 

 between the two ; second costal cell with a small but conspicuous clove-brown 

 spot in its centre, a second small spot in marginal cell iunnediately below, and 

 two small flecks in third posterior cell, close to its proximal extremity ; in 

 marginal cell next costa, at a point about tw^o-fifths of distance betw^een distal 

 extremities of first and second longitudinal veins, commences a narrow 

 hyaline edging, which broadens somewhat in distal extremity of marginal 

 cell, and is visible again as a hyaline fleck next costa in upper two-thirds of 

 submarginal cell, either separated from second longitudinal vein or extending 

 backwards for a short distance as a narrow edging below distal extremity of 

 latter ; when wing is held up to the light and examined with a lens, two 

 darker flecks can be observed in costal border, in distal extremity of marginal 

 cell, corresponding to similar flecks seen in wing of Ceratitis capitata, Wied. ; 

 alula hyaline ; veins clove-brown, except costa above hyaline portion of 

 second costal cell, and portions of fourth and flfth longitudinal veins in hyaline 

 parts of distal half of wing, colour of which is cream-buff". Halteres clove- 

 brown, basal half of stalks cream-buff^. Legs : hair and bristles on femora 

 and apical bristles on middle tibise black, row of short bristles on outer side 

 of hind tibiae ochraceous.
