the other veins; fork-cells short, the first longer and narrower 
than the second, their bases about level, stem of the first more 
than half the length of the cell; stem of the second nearly as 
long as the cell ; posterior cross-vein longer than the mid, about 
twice its own length distant from it. Genitalia with rather small, 
narrow claspers, with dark blunt apical spine. 
Length.—4: ‘ 8 to 5 mm. 
Habitat. —-Bor, Sudan (H. King). 
Time of capture. —8. vi. 09. 
Observations .—Described from two perfect $ ’s, one dissected. 
It bears some resemblance to Q. unilineata, but there is the 
absence of the median line and the presence of the flat scaled 
white area in front, and totally different wing scales from the 
9 of that species ; it may however be the male of that insect,, 
but it is very doubtful. It is placed in that genus owing to the 
marked flat thoracic scales around the scutellum, but also is 
related to Kingia by the presence of flat scales on the middle 
line in front. If this character occurs in the 9 then it must be 
placed in a new genus.

Pseudostegomyia for Quasistegomyia, purely a clerical error.
