llowish-brown with dark brown spots, and patches of scales. Wings 
Dttled with black and deep yellow scales. These scales are very broad, 
my are asymmetrical with notched ends and others cordate; fork cells 
ig, the first a little narrower and much longer than the second, its base 
arer the wing base, its stem about one-fifth the length of the cell; posterior 
oss-vein distant from median about i|- times its own length. Coxae 
llowish-brown with brown and white flat scales, femora clad above with 
.rk purple-brown scales, below chiefly ochraceous, tibiae with dark scales 
i the upper surface, ochraceous scales elsewhere, hind tibiae with a patch 
dark purple-brown scales at the apex above and laterally; metatarsus and 
| rsus of the fore leg ochraceous, on the mid there are three patches of 
irk purple scales on the upper or outer surface, one just before the apex 
1 the metatarsus, one in a similar position on the first tarsal joint, and one 
the middle of the second tarsal joint; on the hind leg there is a ring of dark 
ales just before the apex of the metatarsus, two on the first tarsal joint, 
le broad, one in the middle of the second and also on the third tarsal joint, 
ore and mid ungues unequal the larger unguis on each leg being um- 
f :rrate. 
Abdomen .—On the dorsum is a broad stripe running down the centre 
i r the whole length dark purple-brown in colour. At the base of each 
igmer.t on either side is a narrow band of dark scales, everywhere else the 
:ales are dark golden-yellow. 
Occurrence .—Described from one specimen sent to me by Dr. Finlayson 
f Singapore. 
Remarks .—The wing scales in this species are so exactly like those 
gured in the “First Report of the Wellcome Research Laboratories, 
Khartum, and there are so many other points of resemblance with the 
lembers of this genus that I have no hesitation in assigning it here. 
Ir. Theobald only describes the female, here only the male is described, 
ee “Remarks” under Dasymyia and Conotiomyia.
