Genus 1 1 aeniorhynchus . 
banded, and the three bands on the foot involve both sides 
of the joints; ungues as in fore legs; in the hind legs the 
banding is very similar, but there is a narrow basal band, in 
addition, to the last joint, and the ungues are small, equal, and 
simple. 
Wings with the veins covered with rather broad, clavate, 
brown and creamy-grey scales; no long thin scales at all on the 
wings; first sub-marginal cell longer, but about the same width 
as the second posterior cell, its stem not quite as long as the 
cell; stem of second posterior cell equal to the length of the 
cell; posterior cross-vein about twice its own length distant from 
the mid cross-vein; fringe brown. Halteres with ochraceous 
stem and fuscous knob. 
Length. —4*5 mm.; palpi, 3*3 mm. 
Habitat .—Madras (Captain Cornwall); N. W r . India (Giles). 
Time of appearance. —December. 
Observations .—Two ’s, taken by Captain Cornwall in paddy- 
fields. A very distinct banded-proboscis species, with the wings 
with rather thick clavate scales, giving them a somewhat mottled 
appearance; the broad apical pale bands to the abdomen at 
once separate it from the other Taeniorhynchus. 
Lt.-Col. Giles has found the 9 of this species in N. W. India, 
and has described it since this went to press.
