General colours black, yellow and grey-white, the 4 having 
more yellow than the 9 , the latter having much black. Legs 
strikingly banded in black and yellow and some white. A 
decided pattern on the dorsum of the abdomen of the $; that 
on the 9 less distinct. Wings in both sexes strongly spotted 
in black, yellow and white, giving the appearance of a specimen 
of Anophelinae. 
Length. — £ 4 • 5 mm.; 9 4*75 mm. 
Habitat. —Negros Occidental, P. I., Bago at Mailum on 
Hacienda “ Louisiana.” 
Time of capture. —17-24 June, 1906. 
Notes. —Captured between buttresses of large -banana trees 
(.Anisoptera thurifera Blume). It is apparently purely sylvan; 
specimens also bred by Banks from water in the axils of banana 
leaves. The specimens taken were found resting on the bark 
of large forest trees, the colour of which they appear to simulate 
to a certain extent. All attempts to cause them to bite were 
futile. They are not active and apparently uncommon. It 
comes very near my Finlaya poicilia, but the colouring at once 
separates it. Type in Entomological Collection, Bureau of 
Science, Manila. No. 6066.
