“ 9 • Head dark brown, with whitish and yellow curved 
scales from occiput to wertex, dark brown, almost black fork 
scales at occiput, and light yellowish-white flat scales laterally ; 
antennae brown, verticels and pubescence brown, white, unsealed 
at the joints ; palpi dark brown ; proboscis dark brown; eyes 
brown, partly contiguous ; clypeus brown. 
Thorax dark brown ; prothoracic lobes with a few bristles ; 
mesonotum with bright golden or brassy-coloured slender-curved 
scales arranged in lines on the cephalad half, the caudad half 
very dark brown, long brown bristles, especially over the wing 
joint; pleurae dark brown, with white scaled spots; scutellum 
light, almost bare, very slender curved light and brown scales 
arranged in the sub-median lines, the apices directed laterally, 
four long bristles on the median, and three on the lateral lobes, 
otherwise practically nude; metanotum brown, nude. 
Abdomen densely covered with dark brown scales, with 
purple iridesence and tiny basal lateral white spots on some 
segments ; venter mostly dark scaled, but some basal light bands 
Legs : coxae and trochanters light, femora ventrally light, 
and slightly so at the bases, more marked on the hind legs, the 
remainder of the legs dark, with purple and gold reflections ; 
ungues simple and equal. 
Wings clear and heavily scaled with long taeniorhynchus-like 
scales; first sub-marginal cell a little longer and narrower than 
the second posterior, about the length of the stems; the 
posterior cross-vein longer than the mid about its own length. 
Length .—6 mm., of which 2*2 is proboscis. 
Habitat .—Parang, Mindanao, P. I. 
Taken in December. 
The wing scales suggest Taeniorhynehus , but the eyes are 
more contiguous than is usual in that genus and the scutellar 
scaling is peculiar. The colouring suggests already described 
Taeniorhynchi, but the legs are entirely unhanded. 7 ’
