Genus Anisocheleomyia. 571 



of flat thoracic scales and more rugged appearance of the head 

 and scutellum. 



The genitalia cannot be made out, but the perfect specimens 

 are evidently all three males. 



The ungues are the most marked characters, and can only be 

 seen by breaking up the specimens. The four species are closely 

 connected by squamose characters as well as by the quaint 

 ungues. 



Although the ungues are unequal as in all male Ciilicids, 

 they are not very unequal in length, but are in breadth and 

 differ in form. 



As no male genitalia can be detected, one can only assume 

 they are all males from the unequal ungues. A female sent 

 was so damaged in the post it could not be described, but the 

 antennae are seen to be less pilose than in the male.
