Fore wings over two and a half times as long as broad ; length, 2*9 mm. ; breadth, 

 1*1 mm. Submarginal : marginal : radius : post-marginal, as 26 : 5 : 1 : C Pub- 

 escence of similar elements, no scales. Submarginal with 38 bristles, with short 

 bristles 3-4 deep along its whole length below ; submarginal cell closely set with 

 bristles along its outer costal half ; wing otherwise evenly ciliated, except on the 

 basal <-shaped bare area and the hairless longitudinal line. Hind wings : length, 

 215 mm. ; breadth, 0*65 mm. Basally the vein runs along the costa for half the 

 length of the cell ; it bears 80-90 bristles which are coarser distally ; only six stiff 

 bristles on the frenulum. 



Hind legs : femur towards the apex somewhat swollen above, so that the apex 

 itself is blunt before the tibia. Lower femoral edge not greatly convex ; straight 

 on basal half, followed by a row of denticles (23 only) running over two slight flat 

 lobes. Hind tibia a little swollen outwardly towards the apex.

 munda, sp. n. ; c, Stomatoceras octodentata, Cam. ; d, HalticheUa edax, sp. n. 



Abdomen : first tergite covering two-fifths of the length of the whole ; tergites i. to iv. 

 in the ratio 16:6:5:4. First tergite smooth, shining at the sides, but medianly coarsely 

 punctate ; the punctate area triangular, based on the suture, with the apex slightly 

 behind the petiole. Second tergite broadly smooth near the suture with the first, and 

 posteriorly coarsely punctate. The remaining tergites punctate, only the sutures shining. 



Length, 4J mm. ; alar expanse, 7 mm.
