posterior cell about two-thirds the length of the cell ; posterior 

 cross-vein longer than the mid cross- vein, about half its own length 

 distant from it ; mid and supernumerary cross- veins almost in a 

 straight line. Hal teres with pale ochraceous stem and fuscous 

 knob. 



Length, — 4 mm. 



Time of capture. — January (1904). 



Habitat. — Jamaica. 



Observations. — Described from a perfect female taken by 

 Dr. Grabham. It can at once be identified by the white mid 

 tarsals. This coloration appears to be on one side only, apparently 

 the upper surface. 



It can be at once told from the other species by the above 

 character and the cephalic adornment. ~No special notes have 

 been made on this insect. There are more lateral linear scales 

 to the wings than in the type of the genus, but it more nearly 

 approaches Dendromyia than Wyeomyia.

Additional locality. — New Amsterdam, British Guiana (Dr. 

 Rowland). This specimen shows the venter of the abdomen paler 

 than in the type, in some lights creamy white.
