84 A Monograjih of Calicidae. 



first long vein and anterior fork of second long vein, and an included dark 

 spot at apex of marginal cell, giving the appearance of an incomplete ring ; 

 the other much smaller on the costa at junction of the sub-costa. The 

 costal and basal portions of the wings dark scaled with a few white scales 

 on the costa, sub-costa, first and second longitudinals, third longitudinal 

 vein mostly white scaled, and on this appear a few round-ended scales 

 with acuminate tips. The fourth longitudinal vein largely dark scaled, 

 but the scales mostly of the roundish sort, which are either black or 

 white ; there are dark spots at the apices of each fork and light fringe at 

 the apex of the anterior fork. The fifth longitudinal vein has almost 

 exclusively the rounder scales and is mostly white, both as to stem and 

 forks ; dark spots at the apices of each fork, and the stem has a dark base, 

 as have all the veins save the sixth, which is light scaled, except two 

 heavy dark spots, one at the apex and one about the middle of the vein ; 

 the sixth has entirely round-ended scales in both black and white. Fringe 

 dark except for the three small places indicated (i.e. at the apices of the 

 first longitudinal vein, anterior fork of second, and anterior fork of fourth). 

 Most of the veins even where light, have a sprinkling of dark among the 

 median scales, but the larger part of the dark scales on these veins are 

 lateral scales and lie close under the median scales, so that the wing looks 

 much darker from the under (ventral) view, and in all the veins caudal of 

 the third the lateral as well as the median scales are almost entirely of the 

 4 round-ended ' sort. The wing has, however, as a whole a dark rather 

 than light appearance, probably due to the very heavy scaling of the first 

 two or three veins, which are mostly dark scaled. The first sub-marginal 

 cell is a little longer and narrower than the second posterior, the base of 

 the former nearly on a line with the base of the latter, but not near the 

 junction of the costa and sub-costa ; the stem of the former is about two- 

 thirds the length of the cell and shorter than that of the second posterior, 

 which is longer than the cell ; cross-veins are close together, the mid 

 much the longest, meeting the supernumerary at nearly a right angle 

 (apex towards apex of wing), and the posterior cross-vein is not half its 

 length from the mid vein and stands at almost the same angle in the 

 reverse direction. Halteres have black knobs, stem and base light. 



Length. — 5 mm. 



Habitat. — Hagonoy, Bulacan, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 



Time of capture.— October (2nd, 1901)." 



Observations. — Miss Ludlow described this species, separating 

 it on account of the many more " round-ended " scales on the 

 wings than are seen in barbirostris. The specimen she sent me 

 seems to be quite distinct, and also presents colour markings in 

 legs and palpi, different to barbirostris. No pathological work 

 has been done with this species.
