posteriorly; striae indicated but not well defined. Inner wings 
atrophied. Lower surface extensively pubescent, but proepisterna not 
pubescent. Secondary sexual characters: cf tarsi not modified; 
presence or absence of setae at apex last ventral segment not deter- 
mined. Legs: femora rather stout, tibiae moderate, tarsi (especially 
posterior) slender; middle and hind tibiae each with curved or hooked 
spur on inner angle; claws simple. Measurements : length 5-7 -5.9; 
width 1.9 -2.0 mm. 
Types. Holotype cf (British Mus.) and 1 $ paratype (MCZ 
Type No. 31,673) both from Ghoom, Darjeeling, India, May 26, 
1931 (Dr. M. Cameron). 
Notes. This new species differs from Gunvorita elegans Landin 
(1955) in being larger (elegans, length 4 mm), with head more 
evenly rounded posteriorly. The sexes of the 2 specimens have been 
determined easily because the tips of the cf copulatory organs and 
of the $ styles are visible without dissection. I have not made a 
very detailed description of the new species, and have not dissected 
the specimens, because the tribe needs further study, and the very 
limited material should be reserved for study at that time.
