Pcyche 
[April 
Dohrniphora transita sp. nov. 
Sex? Length 3 mm. A stout species with well developed 
bristles on the hind legs. Two median supra-antennal bristles 
reclinate, strong, but rather short and divergent. Lower row of 
four frontal bristles forming a straight transverse line, the bases 
of the lateral bristles close to the lower angles of the front. Next 
row forming a curved line, all four bristles equidistant. Upper 
transverse row normal. Post-ocular cilia strong, not enlarged 
below. Antennae rather small, round; arista short and very 
slender. Mesonotum with a single pair of dorso-central macro- 
chaetse; scutellum with a pair of small lateral bristles and also 
two stronger bristles on the hind margin. Abdomen completely 
clouded, so that its structure cannot be observed. Anterior 
tibiae each with a single bristle at the middle on the front side; 
middle tibiae each with a similar one at the basal third, and 
also perhaps just before the tip which is not visible. Hind 
femora stout, fringed with short hairs along the lower edge. 
Hind tibia with a strong bristle at the end of the basal third; a 
pair at the middle, one of these bristles on the outer and the 
other one on the hind side; also with two shorter bristles just 
before the tip, and, so far as can be seen, with at least one stout 
spur. Costal vein not extending beyond the middle of the wing, 
its cilia delicate and very long, although most of the cilia have 
been broken off in the single specimen before me. First vein 
very long, its tip twice as far removed from the mediastinal vein 
as from the apex of the third vein; on its basal two-thirds it runs 
almost parallel to the costa, bending sharply forwards apically 
to meet the costa. Second vein short, the angle of furcation 
very close to the tip of the third vein. Third vein with a large, 
oval spot or swelling extending from the fork halfway to the 
apex of the vein; although this spot scarcely extends over the 
anterior edge of the vein, it is broadened out behind into a 
strong bow. Fourth vein straight, except at base, where it is 
weakly curved; originating opposite the fork of the third; fifth 
vein almost parallel to the fourth, slightly bent forward on its 
basal third; sixth and seventh veins present, straight.
