and sometimes between the second and third costal spots, but so irregu- 

 larly placed as to be of little value for identification, the two wings of the 

 same insect varying markedly 



The wing field well spotted, about six light spots on the third long 

 vein, and the other veins spotted in much the same way, except the stem 

 of the second posterior cell, which is dark. Fringe mottled, the light 

 spots occurring for the most part at the apices of the veins ; on the inner 

 (short) fringed scales the light spots occur as far as the sixth long vein, 

 on the long scales the spots are distinctly yellow as far as the fifth long 

 vein, and are merely pale at the apices of the more caudal veins ; first 

 sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its 

 base nearly one-sixth of its length interior, stem of the second posterior 

 much the longer ; supernumerary cross-vein nearly equal to the mid, which 

 it meets, and the posterior cross-vein somewhat longer and a little more 

 than its own length distant. Halteres white. 



Length. — 3 to 3*3 mm. 



Habitat. — Oras Samar and Cottobato, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. 



Time of Capture. — June and August." 



Observations. — This species was described by Miss Ludlow 

 from specimens taken by Dr. James W. Thornton. It comes 

 very near my M. albirostris from Malay, but differs in having 

 spotted legs, an additional palpal band, and in wing markings 

 which come nearest M. elegans, James. 



It is subject to some variation in regard to the wing spots 

 and leg spotting, not only in different specimens but frequently 

 in the same insect, the two wings now and again being differently 

 marked.

Nothing further can be added, and no new species have been 

 found in this genus. Coquillett separates my mediopunctata from 

 this genus, and has created a new one (Notonotricha) for it, but 

 gives no valid character. 



Blanchard has adopted a more accurate spelling, but the 

 change seems unnecessary.
