The dense apical tufts on the femora are also very character- 

 istic in both sexes. 



No other Anoplielines have yet been found approaching it, 

 but others will probably be found in jungle growth. 



Giles refers to this genus as Lophomyia, Theobald MS., 

 December, 1904. It was described in January, 1904, as 

 Lophoscelomyia. He probably examined the type in the British 

 Museum collection without noticing whether it had been, 

 described. Blanchard merely quotes Giles.

Wings with two yellow costal spots. Hind legs with the 

 femora with a dense apical tuft of long black and white scales. 

 Tarsi unhanded. 



" $ Head black, frosted (when dry, dark brown) ; the scales 

 are arranged in tufts and bare places are left between ; it is 

 rather lighter along the orbital margins, giving the appearance 

 under the hand-lens of a narrow white margin to the eyes ; on 

 the vertex is a tuft of long silky hair-like scales, with a double 

 curve on them which project well forwards ; behind these are a 

 few white narrow-curved scales on either side of a bare black 

 line and extending but a small way back and laterally for a 

 short distance down the orbital margins ; behind these are some 

 flat topped white upright scales which merge behind into a 

 dense mass of black (when dry brown) upright scales extending 

 laterally over the occiput to just short of the eyes, from which 

 they are separated by a bare space. There are a few black 

 narrow-curved scales succeeding the white along the orbital 

 margin. The eyes are a metallic bronzy-green. Antennae with 

 the basal segment dusky, its depression brown, some rather 

 broadly spindle-shaped white scales on its inner face ; the second 

 segment light brown, some black spindle-shaped scales on its 

 inner face, succeeding segments similar but without scales ; all 

 the segments except the basal one covered with short white hairs ; 

 verticillate hairs pale brown. Palpi equal in length to the 

 proboscis ; pallid, covered with long black scales, a few pale ones
