109 



Wings : 854-1050 (924) u. long, and 322-434 (364)^1 wide ; usually with 3 alar setae 

 (occasionally 2, av. 2-q(, and 3-4 (3-3) circular sensoria. Hamulohalterae 64-73 (70) (x long, 

 and 12-18 (15) (i wide ; with a weak slender ridge and one, apically hooked, 52-58 (55) n long 

 seta ; i.e. the ratio length of seta to the length of the hamulohaltera 1 : 1-2-1-4 (1 : 1-3). 



Legs : Moderately long ; the fore legs shortest, and the hind legs longest ; the ratio length 

 of the hind leg to the total body length 1 : 1-8-2-1 (1 : 1-9). Trochanter about 24^ wide. 

 Femur about 40^ wide, the ratio width to length of hind femur 1 : 4-2-5-0 (4-5). Tibia about 

 24 (x wide, with 2 strong apical spurs and 2-4 smaller spines ; the femur in front leg longer 

 than the tibia, the ratio their lengths being 1-01-1-4 ( I-1 ) : *■ Tarsus about 21^1 wide ; 

 tarsal digitules apically knobbed, about 34 \l long. Claw uniformly tapering to a sharply 

 pointed apex ; ungual digitules finely pointed. The following table shows the lengths of the 

 leg segments (in microns) and the number of setae on each:
