Genus Chaetocruiomyia. 
hairy; palpi longer than the proboscis, straight, of two segments, 
the apical one short and swollen, ochreous with ochreous scales- 
and some violet ones, especially above and at the apices of the 
two segments, the last segment with dark stiff thorn-like chaetae,, 
becoming small towards the apex. Ungues of the fore and 
mid legs unequal, the fore with a small tooth at the base of the 
smaller one, a large tooth in the middle of the larger claw and 
a small spine-like tooth at its base, mid claws with two teeth on 
the larger claw, none on the smaller ; hind claws equal and simple. 
Wings with small fork-cells like the female; the first sub- 
marginal only about half the width of the second posterior cell, 
its stem about one and a third times its length ; stem of the 
second posterior also about one and a third times the length of 
the cell; the first long vein markedly bent in the middle and 
approaching the upper branch of the second, thus forming a very 
curious marginal cell, the posterior cross-vein is only half its own 
length distant from the mid. 
Length .—3'5 to 4 mm. 
Habitat. —Calcutta; Berhampur, Murshidabad district, Ben¬ 
gal, 1. i. 08 (B. Lloyd) ; Bangoon, Burma, 25. ii. 08 (N. A.); 
Yaikam, Travancore, Coastal region, 5. xi. 08 (Annandale) ; 
Katihar, Purneah district, N. Bengal, 4, 5. x. 08 (C. A. Paiva). 
Time of capture .—November and December in Calcutta, and 
one in July ; January at Berhampur. 
Observations .—Described from a long series, some taken at 
light. 
The specimens show some variation in size and colour, but 
the marked black shiny thorax with the clear cut yellow area on 
each side and the quaint marginal cell will at once identify it. 
Types in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, and co-types in the 
British Museum.
