The venation much resembles that of L. luteipennis O. S. 

 (Monogr. Tab. II, f. 10), but the second submarginal cell and 

 the petiole of the second posterior cell are shorter, and the great 

 cross-vein is coincident with the base of the discal cell.

 Limnobia, but seems to belong to the genus Epiphragma O. S. 

 of the Limnopkilina, unless it prove to constitute a new genus.

The lamina terminalis infera is extremely prolonged, four or 

 five times longer than the lamina basalis infera; seen from the 

 side it is of a conical shape, tapering towards the tip. The 

 appendages are not well visible. — This small species differs 

 considerably in colour from T, microcephala Big. (1858*) from 



* Van der Wulp hos described (1881) an other T. microcephala from 

 Guadaloupe.
