 posterior metasternal setae 2-3 (2-2). Metathoracic pores : Metaspiracular pores 2-3 (2-3) behind 

 each spiracle ; one anterior metasternal pore, and one posterior metasternal pore almost always 

 present on each side (averages 08 and 09 respectively). 



Wings : 1330-1610 (1484)^1 long and 462-532 (504) u. wide ; usually with 3 alar setae 

 (sometimes 4 or 5, av. 3-4), and a row of 4 minute circular sensoria. Hamnlohalterae 104-122 

 (no)(i long and 21-31 (25)^ wide ; with one apically hooked, 46-55 (52)(x long seta, i.e. the 

 ratio lengths of the seta to the hamulohaltera 1 : 1-9-2-5 (21). 



Legs : Moderately long and slender ; the ratio length of the hind leg to the total length of 

 the body 1 : 1-7-2-1 (2-0). Coxa and trochanter about 49 and 24^ wide respectively ; the 

 latter with one differentiated long apical seta. Femur about 43^ wide ; that of the front leg 

 shortest and that of the hind longest ; the ratio width to length of the hind femur 1 : 41-50 

 (4-6). Tibia about 24JJ. wide ; with 2 apical strong spurs and 3-4 smaller spines ; the ratio 

 lengths of femur to tibia in front leg 1 : 10-11 (105). Tarsus about 2i|z wide ; tarsal 

 digitules apically knobbed, about 37 y. long. Claw uniformly tapering to a pointed apex ; 

 ungual digitules extremely fine. In the following table the lengths of the leg segments (in 

 microns) and the number of setae on each are given :

Abdomen : 365-532 (456) u. long and 266-327 (312) \l wide. Tergites of segments I and II 

 small ; those of segment VIII and segments IX + X large and distinct. Sternites of segment 

 VIII ill-defined. Ostioles entirely absent. Abdominal setae on each side : Dorsal setae 2-3 

 on segment I, 3-4 on segments II to VI, 2-3 on segment VII, and always 1 on segment VIII. 

 Pleural setae 3-4 on segment I, 4-5 (and occasionally 6) on segments II to VII, and always 3 

 on segment VIII. Ventral setae 1-2 on segment II, 3-4 on segments III to V, 2-3 on segment 

 VI, 2 on segment VII, and absent on segment VIII. Abdominal disc pores on each side : 

 Pleural setae 2-5 (3-7), 0-2 (i-i), 0-1 (0-5), 0-1 (o-6), 0-1 (0-7), 0-1 (0-5), and 0-2 (0-7) on 

 segments I to VII respectively. One ventral pore also usually occurs submarginally on 

 segments III to VII (averages o-8, 07, 07, 0-3, and 02 respectively). 



Glandular pouch well developed ; its setae include a pair of tail setae, 229-305 (272) (x long, 

 and one seta, 40—92 (64)^ long (the ratio lengths of the tail setae to the total body length 

 1 : 4-6-5-7, av. 50). 



Genital segment comparatively small ; subtriangular in dorsal view ; style curving upwards 

 in lateral view. Penial sheath 113-131 (125) \l long and 79-95 (89) y. wide, i.e. the ratio length
