9. — Lengtli cf antennte O'OIS inch ... 0-38 millimetre. 



Expanse of wings 0-036 x 0-015 ... 0-90x0-30 



Size of body 0-025x0-00.5 ... 0-62x0-12 



Antenn£e about as long as the thorax, joints sub-cylindrical, 

 almost sub-globose ; terminal joints somewhat decreasing in size ; 

 separated by pedicels rather more than half the length of the 

 joints ; verticillate-pilose ; yellowish ; second basal joint much 

 smaller than the first. Hypostoma and front pale brownish 

 yellow ; palpi yellowish. Eyes belting, contiguous on the 

 front. Thorax sordid yellow, nitidous, with a few hairs along two 

 pale, very indistinct lines, from the collare, meeting at a point at 

 the scutellum ; collare and pleurse sordid yellow, somewhat paler 

 than the thorax ; scutellum large, almost semi-circular, sordid 

 yellow. Halteres large, yellowish, with a few haii's. Abdomen 

 about twice as long as the thorax, pale yellow, with a sparse

 thickly haired ; very little reflection. First longitudinal vein 

 very close to the costa, and scarcely distinguishable from it except 

 for a short distance past the ti'ansverse vein ; second longitudinal

Antennai 2--I-9- to 2- + 22-jointed; generally the same uunilierof 

 joints in those of the $ and 9 ; joints pedicelled or sessile alike in 

 both sexes, or pedicelled in the ^ and sessile in the 9. Second 

 longitudinal vein reaching the niaigin of the wing before the 

 apex (PI. 11., figs. 4 and 5).
