sixth vein is separated from the black central part by an entirely hyaline streak, which 

 is situated in the posterior part of the third posterior cell ; and along the fore border, 

 from the end of the second vein to the apex of the wing, there is a narrow black border 

 which is omitted in Wulp's figure. 



The species has a wide distribution in the Oriental Region, being known from 

 Tranquebar, Amboina, Java and the Philippine Islands. In the collection are many 

 specimens from Assam, labelled Urophora rvtfipes, n. sp.. Bigot, MS. ; but Bigot has 

 not published the species. A specimen from Tenasserim, Lower Burma {W . Doherty) 

 (■^15^) ', 4 specimens from Kulattupuzha, W. base of W. Ghats, Travancore, ig-xi-oS, 

 2 from Shasthancottah, 12 miles N.-N.-E. of Quilon, Travancore, 8-xi-o8, and 2 from 

 Sukna, 5000 ft., K. Himalayas, i-vii-o8, all caught by Dr. Annandale.

 Wulp, Tijdschr. v. Entom., xH, 217, 4, pi. x, fig. 15 [Anomoea] (i8g8) and xlii, 51 [id.] (1899). 



Very like the preceding, but distinguished by the yellow front femora and by the 

 absence of the apical isolated black streak on the wings. 



Head wholly yellow, the bristles long and black ; antennae, palpi and proboscis 

 yellow and shaped as in the preceding, but the palpi are a little more hairy. Thorax 

 black, with light cinereous pollen ; humeri broadly yellow ; pleura shining black, a 

 little brown and reddish along the sutures ; all the bristles black. Scutellum black, 

 reddish at the hind margin and beneath, as in the preceding. I do not understand why 

 Wulp has, by the specific name he uses, called the scutellum white. Apical bristles 

 longer than in the preceding. Haltères black. Abdomen shining black, with very long 

 apical bristles ; ovipositor much shorter , with the apical segment yellow. Legs wholly 

 yellow, only the coxae being blackish. Wing-pattern as figured by Wulp, but the 

 hyaline streak of the third posterior cell reaches the hind margin ; the short black 

 streak after the stigma is connected with the black central portion just over the small 

 cross- vein as in fossata ; the apical border along the wing margin is also as in fossata, 

 and is also shown here in the figure. 



Wulp has placed this and the preceding species in the genus Anomoea , but I think 

 erroneously, having regard to the very different position of the hind cross- vein ; there 

 is only a resemblance in the wing-pattern . 



The species was originally described from Sumatra. In the collection is a female 

 only, not well preserved, from Tenasserim, Lower Burma (W . Doherty) (-'-f^^). 



50. Acidia erythraspis, n. sp. ? . 



(PI. X, fig. 50). 



Very distinct from the two preceding species by reason of its more elongate wings, 

 the black pattern of which is much more extended, by the entirely red scutellum and 

 the darker legs. Length of the body 5 mm., of the wing 6 mm.
