by a line of black scales. Abdomen black, segments with long white 
hairs along the apical borders; all segments with silvery lateral 
areas; in the last three segments these nearly meet dorsally, forming 
basal bands. Venter with broad basal bands of silvery scales, among 
which are a few golden scales along the mid line. IJngnes of fore leg 
unequal, larger biserrated and the smaller uniserrated ; of the mid leg, 
larger biserrated and the smaller uniserrated; of the hind leg simple 
and equal. 
Length. —2 • 5 mm.

“ Near H. aureostriata, Grabham (Can. Ent., May 1906), but with 
somewhat broader thoracic lines. The face hairs of the larva are as 
follows: ante-antennal hair five- to eight-rayed, upper epistomal hair 
double, lower about ten-rayed. The compound hair of the dorsal 
group in the terminal segment is about six-rayed. In H. aureostriata 
the upper epistomal hair is usually single, and the compound hair of 
the dorsal group on the terminal segment is ten- to twelve-rayed. 
The most notable differences are to be observed in the anal gills, those 
of H. inaequalis being broadly lanceolate and pigmented, the lower 
pair only half the length of the upper pair, which are one-third of the 
longest hairs of the ventral hair group, while in H. aureostriata they 
are nearly equal size, narrow, slender and transparent, and about as 
long as the hairs of the ventral tuft. The larvae collected from 
hollow trees (chiefly Anona jpalustris) by the sea-shore, Kingston, 
have long, slender pale red bodies covered with rayed hairs ; a pair of 
large air vessels in the thorax are seen as two conspicuous silvery 
spots. The females are troublesome blood-suckers in the woods. 
Length of adult 2’5 mm.”
