Proboscis. Basal half black scaled. Apical half golden scald, 
except for a small but quite definite ring of black scales a short 
distance from the apex. The apex is golden.* 
Palpi. Black, with four white bands. The first band consist of 
a small but definite band of scales at the apex of the first joint. The 
apex of the last joint is white scaled, with a few white hairs 
projecting beyond the end. I hen follow alternately a narrow black 
band, a broad white band, a slightly smaller black band, a broad 
white band, and the remainder of the palpi to the first joint black. 
Antennae. Brown. 
Scutellum. Brown, with a single row of long dark hairs; 
metanotum brown, nude. 
Wing of Myzomyia auriroslris, n. sp. 
II ings. Costa, black, broken by five gold spots—twointhebasa 
half of the wing, of which only the outer involves the subcosta anc 
lii st vein. In the outer half the spot at the junction of the costa and 
subcosta involves the first vein—the spot of which, however, begin; 
almost where the costal spot ends, and extends towards the apex. It 
is equal in length to the costal spot. Equidistant between this and 
t ie apex is a spot involving the first vein, and at the junction of the 
rst \ ein and costa there is also a golden spot involving the fringe and 
a small portion of the first vein and upper branch of second. The first 
vein in addition to the above spots, has one just beyond the second 
spot. In one specimen a few golden scales are seen on the 
costa, not sufficient in numbers to constitute a definite spot, and only 
\ ing one side of the vein. On second long vein there area 
cw golden scales at the origin, a few at the fork, and a few half-way 
\een these two. 1 fie third vein begins in a yellow spot, and the 
n< j . V T C ° nsists of four b ^k and three yellow spots alter- 
a e y the black spot touching the fringe being longest of all. The 
ju i vein is black scaled to its fork, except for a few yellow scales 
blackish in colour, and^e . the author the integument at the tip * 5
