  grey-dusted. 
  Scutellum 
  

   shining

  with 
  a 
  narrow

  longitudinal 
  yellow

  and 
  with 
  

   a

  on

  Abdomen

  yellowish 
  hairs 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  

   blackish, 
  but 
  grey-dusted, 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  whitish 
  hind 
  border 
  to 
  the 
  segments. 
  Legs 
  

   pale 
  yellowish, 
  with 
  the 
  femora 
  broadly 
  infuscated 
  and 
  the 
  four 
  posterior 
  tibiae 
  

   darker 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  half 
  ; 
  bristles 
  black. 
  Wings 
  whitish 
  hyaline, 
  with 
  blackish 
  

   basal 
  streaks 
  and 
  with 
  fuscous 
  bands 
  ; 
  veins 
  black, 
  but 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  the 
  first 
  longi- 
  

   tudinal 
  vein 
  whitish 
  at 
  the 
  stigma. 
  At 
  the 
  base 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  short 
  blackish 
  band, 
  

   beginning 
  at 
  the 
  humeral 
  cross- 
  vein 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  blackish 
  streak 
  in 
  each 
  cell, 
  

   broader 
  and 
  more 
  sharply 
  denned 
  near 
  the 
  fore 
  border 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  anal 
  cell 
  has 
  no 
  

   middle 
  streak. 
  Stigma 
  whitish, 
  with 
  the 
  base 
  narrowly 
  darkened. 
  The 
  first 
  band 
  

   is 
  oblique, 
  beginning 
  at 
  fore 
  border 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  stigma, 
  passing 
  over 
  the 
  small 
  

   cross- 
  vein, 
  and 
  ending 
  evenly 
  and 
  symmetrically 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  sixth 
  vein. 
  The 
  

   costal 
  band 
  is 
  united 
  with 
  the 
  above-named 
  band, 
  extending 
  below 
  to 
  the 
  third 
  

   vein 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  apical 
  part 
  passing 
  even 
  a 
  little 
  beyond 
  it 
  ; 
  it 
  includes 
  6-7 
  darker 
  

   dots 
  along 
  the 
  fore 
  border, 
  being 
  moreover 
  narrowly 
  hyaline 
  near 
  the 
  costa. 
  About 
  

   at 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  there 
  arises 
  from 
  the 
  

   costal 
  band 
  the 
  middle 
  band, 
  which 
  is 
  narrow 
  and 
  oblique, 
  irregularly 
  interrupted 
  

   at 
  base, 
  and 
  crosses 
  just 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle 
  the 
  last 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  vein, 
  ending 
  

   at 
  the 
  border 
  a 
  little 
  after 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  vein. 
  The 
  cubital 
  band 
  is 
  broader 
  

   than 
  the 
  middle 
  one, 
  extends 
  from 
  the 
  hind 
  border 
  across 
  the 
  hind 
  cross- 
  vein, 
  and 
  

   ends 
  roundly 
  above 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  posterior 
  cell, 
  being 
  distinctly 
  separated 
  from, 
  

   the 
  basal 
  band. 
  Axillary 
  lobe 
  hyaline, 
  only 
  with 
  a 
  diffused 
  greyish 
  shade 
  at 
  the 
  

   apex. 
  

  

  Originally 
  described 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  sex 
  from 
  Kamerun, 
  Soppo, 
  xii. 
  1912 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  

   a 
  male 
  from 
  Uganda, 
  Kampala, 
  10.xi.1915 
  (G. 
  G. 
  Gowdey). 
  

  

  Clinotaenia, 
  gen. 
  nov. 
  

   Notwithstanding 
  the 
  obtuse 
  third 
  antennal 
  joint, 
  the 
  present 
  new 
  genus 
  seems 
  

   to 
  be 
  more 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  preceding 
  one 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  following 
  genera. 
  Its 
  

   wing 
  pattern 
  is 
  very 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  Bistrispinaria, 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  that 
  

   of 
  Trypeta 
  grata, 
  Wied., 
  a 
  species 
  which 
  might 
  therefore 
  be 
  better 
  placed 
  here 
  than 
  

   in 
  Leucotaeniella. 
  Loew 
  (Berl. 
  Ent. 
  Zeits., 
  v, 
  1861, 
  p. 
  268) 
  has 
  pointed 
  out 
  that 
  

   the 
  allies 
  of 
  T. 
  grata 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  neotropical 
  fauna 
  ; 
  the 
  American 
  

   forms 
  with 
  a 
  similar 
  wing 
  pattern 
  are 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  Anastrepha, 
  which 
  are 
  

   however 
  very 
  different 
  in 
  their 
  structural 
  characters 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  interesting 
  to 
  note 
  

   that 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  longitudinal 
  vein 
  in 
  the 
  species 
  here 
  described 
  shows 
  a 
  

   slight 
  tendency 
  to 
  be 
  curved 
  upwards. 
  The 
  new 
  genus 
  Clinotaenia 
  is 
  closely 
  allied 
  

   to 
  the 
  Oriental 
  genus 
  Gastrozona, 
  but 
  has 
  only 
  two 
  i. 
  or., 
  and 
  different 
  body 
  and 
  wing 
  

   patterns. 
  It 
  must 
  be 
  recorded 
  that 
  Prof. 
  DeMeijere 
  has 
  recently 
  described 
  * 
  from 
  

   Java 
  a 
  species 
  of 
  Anastrepha 
  (A. 
  extranea), 
  which 
  however 
  cannot 
  be 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  

   American 
  genus, 
  nor 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  one.
