drying this is uncertain. On the sixth segment are some long silky whit 
hairs which form the beginning of the caudal tuft which is continued on th 
seventh and eighth segments with purple-black hairs.

Remarks. I have no female and as I have only taken one other larva c 
this species which died, I presume it is a rare insect. It is a very distinc 
species and the position of the. cross veins would at once distinguish i 
rom all the other Malayan species of this genus described. At first si^ht i 
closely resembles T. magnificus, but the position of the cross veins is differen 
in the two species for in Magnificus the posterior cross vein is straight anc 
lies a little to the basal side of the median, whereas in Raris the posterio 
cross vein is s-shaped and lies to the apical side of the median. The hinc 
legs in T Rans only shew one imperfect band on the tibia, while ir 
1 . magnificus there are three bands on the hind legs. 
Teromyia Funestus. n. sp. 
Ihorax dark purple-brown with dark bronze-green scales on th 
dorsum and margins of golden-brown and golden-green scales. Prothoraci 
lobes and the shoulder above them clad with peacock-blue scales. Hea< 
wit dark bronze-green scales edged with peacock-blue. Palpi and pro 
boscis dark purple-black. Legs clad with purple scales with peacock-blui 
and dark blue scales intermingled. Partial basal band on the first tarsa 
joint of the hind leg. Abdomen, dark purple with peacock-blue latera 
bands and purple-black caudal tuft. 
Male Head.-—Entirely clad with dark bronze-green scales, edged witl 
peacock-blue scales along the orbital margins, and black upright forked scale; 
behind, hasaljomt of antenna black and nude without a well marked tomen 
turn and relatively small, second joint enlarged and densely scaled with dart 
almost black scales, remaining joints dusky brown, each joint getting longei 
and thinner as they approach the apex of the antenna. The plumes are much 
longer at the base, than the apex which is unlike the condition present in 
the other Teromyia I have. This is only on the outer side of the antenna. 
I he colour of the plumes is purple-brown. Clypeus black and frosted.
