and tarsi dark. Wings with two long yellow spots on the 
costa. 
9 . Head pale yellowish-brown, with long and short pale 
hairs; antennae brown, with dusky rings, basal joint pale ferru¬ 
ginous, next few joints yellowish, hairs brown; eyes black; 
proboscis and palpi pale brown, hairy. 
Thorax pallid, with a double brown median line ending about 
two-thirds of the way down the mesothorax, and a broad brown 
line starting in the middle of the mesothorax on each side and 
ending at the scutellum, with longish brown curved hairs; 
scutellum pale ochraceous, with a border of brown bristles; 
metanotum deep chestnut-brown ; pleurae pale chestnut-brown, 
with a grey sheen and a few dark patches. 
Abdomen very pale shiny steel colour, with a few chestnut- 
brown or ferruginous marks and with a dark patch on each side, 
which together form more or less a lateral line; with minute dark 
brown puncta over the segments, and wfith long lateral hairs; on 
the posterior borders are also long hairs and short ones on the 
dorsum. 
Legs pale yellowish-brown, with pale hairs and darker bristles, 
the apices of the tibiae, metatarsi and tarsi dark brown, the last 
two tarsal joints entirely brown ; ungues apparently equal and 
simple, black. 
Wings densely clothed along the veins with long hair-like 
scales pale brown in colour, those on the costa forming two long 
pale yellow patches on the apical half; the remainder dark 
brown; bases of the fork-cells and the cross-veins dusky, the 
scales also accumulating there and forming distinct dark brown 
spots; fork-cells of equal length, the base of the second posterior 
cell much nearer the base of the wing than that of the first 
sub-marginal; the stem of the second posterior cell carried past 
the marginal cross-vein into the basal cell; posterior cross-vein a 
short distance only behind the mid cross-vein. 
Halteres yellowish-white. 
Length— 6 mm. 
Habitat. —Scandinavia. 
Observations .—Redescribed from a single 9 in Mr. Verrall’s 
collection, from Bigot’s collection. Zetterstedt says of the wings: 
hyaline grey, transverse veins obscure villous, so as to form a 
lunate band. This is one of the largest members of the genus. 
I strongly suspect Gimmerthal’s G. jpilijpes is this species; the 
description is as follows :—
