Mr. J. C. Moulton tells me that this species has blue eyes. 

 It is otherwise remarkable for the rich chestnut-brown colouring 

 of the thorax and abdomen. The latter has the apices "of seg- 

 ments 2-9 ringed with black. 



The species is quite distinct from H. icterops Martin. 



[Note. — Owing to the great difficulty of setting the wings of 

 these very fragile insects, some distortion of the wing-base has 

 occurred in the specimens photographed. This is especially the 

 case with the types of C. macrostigma and C. nigrohamata, con- 

 sequently the figures of the wings of these species (text-figs. 5 

 and 7) do not exhibit clearly the course of the "anal bridge" 

 vein, which is, however, that normally found in the genus. ]
