Genus Pseudouranotaenia. 567 



with very small flat scales on the mid lobe, somewhat larger ones 

 on the lateral lobes \ metanotum nude \ pleurae with some flat 

 scales. 



Abdomen and legs normal. Wings ornamented \ venation 

 much as in Mimomyia, fork-cells both small in $ , the first sub- 

 marginal smaller than the second posterior, but not so much so 

 as in Uranotaenia ; wing scales of Uranotaenia type, except that

 Wing of Pseudouranotaenia rowlandii to show scales, cf . Theobald. 



there are patches of flat scales on the wing field similar to those 

 at the base of the wing seen in Uranotaenia. Fork-cells in $ 

 very similar to the ? , but the upper branch of the first sub- 

 marginal has a few very large scales only. Prothoracic lobes, 

 with flat scales. Fore ungues of $ nearly equal and simple ; the 

 mid unequal. 



This genus is allied on the one hand to Uranotaenia and on 

 the other to Mimomyia. The thoracic curved scales resemble 

 those of Mimomyia and also the fork-cells — but the wing scales 

 differ considerably.
