76 E. E. AUSTEX — A NEW GENTg j^^^y 



proxiiAal side o£ bent-up terminal portion o£ auxiliary vein ; this transverse 

 band crosses base o£ submarginal and distal extremity of first basal cell^ 

 covering anterior tranverse vein, crosses discal cell near its proximal extremity, 

 and terminates on sixth longitudinal vein close to hind margin o£ wing, 

 diminishing somewhat in breadth below third longitudinal vein and being 

 much narrower at its lower extremity; connected with base o£ this transverse 

 band is a brown longitudinal band, which occupies almost whole of marginal 

 cell, and from its distal extremity near distal angle of marginal cell sends off 

 an oblique extension, which crosses submarginal ceil, then becomes much 

 narrower, and dies away in first posterior cell before reaching fourth longi- 

 tudinal vein ; in marginal cell distal angle and a semi-oval mark resting on 

 second longitudinal vein, immediately below junction of first longitudinal 

 vein with costa, are hyaline ; remaining broNvn markings consist of a longi- 

 tudinal stripe running along distal extremity of costa and extending from 

 upper distal angle of submarginal cell into upper distal angle of first posterior 

 cell (brown costal border of distal portion of wing thus being interrupted just 

 before junction of second longitudinal vein with costa), and a narrow oblique 

 band, which, starting from hind margin at point where it is joined by fifth 

 longitudinal vein, covers posterior transverse vein and terminates in first 

 posterior cell just above fourth longitudinal vein and well on proximal side of 

 junction of latter with posterior transverse vein ; alula hyaline ; veins dark 

 brown, except in hyaline parts of wing, where they are for most part cream- 

 buff or buff. Halteres buff. Legs : hair and bristles on femora and apical 

 bristles on middle tibi?e black, row of short bristles on outer side of hind tibiae 

 and on externo-posterior side of middle tibiae brownish.
