1008 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
trochanters brownish yellow; remainder of legs black; posterior legs broken, but presumably 
with the tarsi chiefly snowy-white as in the allied L. metatarsalba Alexander (Cameroon). Wings 
(Fig. 10, 1) with a brownish tinge, the prearcular and costal regions still darker; no evident stigma; 
veins dark brown. Venation: Sc, ending about opposite three-fourths Rs, Sc2 close to its tip; 
free tip of Sc. and R, in transverse alignment; m-cu at the fork of M. 
Abdomen, including the hypopygium, chiefly dark brown, the incisures and pleural membrane 
even darker. Male hypopygium (Fig. 10, 71) with the median region of the tergite produced caudad 
and dorsad into a conspicuous finger-like median lobe. Basistyles relatively stout, the ventro- 
mesal lobe slender, narrowed to an acute, curved, chitinized point. A single dististyle, elongate- 
oval, narrowed to an acute chitinized point; at near midlength with a single flattened plate that 
presumably represents the usual rostral prolongation, this with the outer cephalic angle produced 
into a spine; on face of style, opposite this prolongation, a small low tubercle that is set with two 
very long setae. Eighth sternite medially at caudal end with a dense brush of black setae. 
Hab. Lrperta. 
Holotype, alcoholic 7, Firestone Plantation No. 3, on right bank of Du River, 
ten miles east of Monrovia, July 27, 1926 (J. Bequaert). 
L. (L.) firestonei is closest to L. metatarsalba Alexander, differing in the longer 
Sc, more transverse alignment of R, and free tip of Sc, and the shorter cell 1st M). 
Unfortunately the male of metatarsalba is still unknown. 
Limonia (Limonia) bequaerti, new species 
Text Fig. No. 10, 2 
General coloration dark brown; mouthparts and palpi reduced; antennae black, the basal 
flagellar segments subglobular with short apical necks; legs dark brown, the distal half of tibiae 
and most of tarsi white; wings with a strong brown suffusion; abundant macrotrichia in all cells 
of wing except those of about the basal fifth. 
Female. — Length about 8.5 mm.; wing 7.4 mm. 
Described from an alcoholic specimen. 
Rostrum very reduced to lacking, pale, the palpi apparently 2-segmented, erect to porrect, the 
terminal segment darkened. Antennae black, the terminal segments broken; flagellar segments 
subglobular, with short glabrous apical necks, the longest verticils unilaterally arranged. Head 
relatively broad, dark brown, the anterior vertex about one-half wider than the diameter of the first 
scapal segment. 
Pronotum and mesonotum dark brown, without evident markings (in alcohol). Pleura still 
darker brown, especially on the posterior sclerites. Halteres entirely infuscated. Legs with the 
coxae brown; trochanters brownish black; all legs are detached in vial with several other species 
but the association with the present form is evidently correct; femora dark brown, slightly paler 
basally; tibiae dark brown on proximal half, the distal half and the tarsi dirty white, only the 
terminal two tarsal segments darkened; claws long and slender, simple except for a basal setiferous 
tubercle. Wings (Fig. 10, 2) with a strong brown suffusion, with a vague darker brown pattern, in- 
cluding cell C and seams on the cord, outer end of cell 1st Mo, Ri +. and Ry, and the distal ends 
of cells R3 and cephalic portion of R3; veins dark brown. Conspicuous macrotrichia in all cells of 
wing except those of the basal fifth or sixth. Venation: Sc, ending opposite three-fourths Rs, Sc» 
at its tip; Rs long, arcuated; A, and free tip of Sc. in approximate alignment; basal section of 
R, =; a little longer than r-m; m-cu close to fork of M, subequal to distal section of Cu. 
Abdomen dark brown. Ovipositor with the tergal valves small and slender, upcurved; sternal 
valves stout and straight. 
Hab. LIBERtiA. 
Holotype, ¢, Firestone Plantation No. 3, on the right bank of Du River, ten 
miles east of Monrovia, July 27, 1926 (J. Bequaert). 
This interesting Limonia is named in honor of the collector, Dr. Joseph 
Bequaert. The only allied regional species is L. (L.) holotricha Alexander
