Psyche 
[February 
the proboscis is to some extent retractile. Lichtwardt’s meas- 
urements seem to indicate that in his specimens the proboscis 
was considerably shorter than the body, but this may be de- 
ceptive. It is not stated whether the measurements referred to 
the male or to the female, and, if the latter was measured, 
whether the body length includes the ovipositor. 
In the Cloudlands female the integument is generally black; 
face, antennae, palpi, and legs rather bright reddish clove-brown; 
the femora more yellowish brown. The long pilosity is greyish 
white ventrally; black dorsally, even on the dorsum of thorax 
and scutellum; on the dorsum of the abdomen there is a mixture 
of a few, shorter, white hairs. The pruinescence is dull all over, 
cinereous white ventrally, very dark greyish brown dorsally. 
The abdomen is not spotted. Face more prominent than in S. 
difficile, more as in S. arnoldi. Ocelli in a short isosceles triangle, 
as in S. difficile, but the anterior ocellus is larger, being dis- 
tinctly twice the size of a posterior ocellus and occupying a little 
more than one third of the width of the front. The antennae 
(Fig. lc) are shaped much as in S. difficile, the third segment 
being slender, pear-shaped and over twice as long as wide at 
base; but the arista is considerably longer than the whole an- 
tenna and three-jointed. The legs are relatively thinner and 
the lamellae which terminate the ovipositor narrower than in 
S. difficile. The sixth longitudinal vein is perfectly straight 
before the apical curve. 
The two males are structurally alike and differ mainly from 
the female in the usual sexual peculiarities (wing much widened 
at anterior margin, beyond the middle; front much narrowed 
above so that the anterior ocellus occupies nearly the whole 
width; abdomen ending in a bluntly swollen hypopygium). The 
integument of scutellum and dorsal side of abdomen is to a large 
extent clove-brown. The long, black pilosity of dorsum of 
head and thorax shows a tendency to be russet brown, especially 
on the front and the scutellum. The third antennal segment is 
a little shorter than in the female, but still at least twice as long 
as wide at base.
