(Plate III.) 
@. Head covered with dark upright forked scales and a 
small creamy frontal tuft; antennae brown, with paler bands 
and with light and dark hairs ; palpi deep black, with the tips 
broadly black scaled, with three white bands on each palpus ; 
one of these white bands is placed about the middle of the 
terminal segment, the other two are placed at the joints of the 
second and third segments of each palp. Proboscis deep brown, 
pale at the apex. 
Thorax deep brown, covered with pale hair-like, almost 
golden scales ; the sides dark brown ; there is a narrow median 
dark line. 
Abdomen deep brown in old specimens, dark olive green in 
fresh specimens, with pale hairs of a dull golden tint. 
Legs deep brown, unbanded, paler at the base and beneath 
the femora ; tips of the femora and tibiae pale. 
Wings (Plate III.) with six pale areas on the costa, the two 
basal ones small, the second and third black spots the largest, 
the yellow markings are continuous on to the first long vein, and 
there is a small yellow spot on it under the third and largest 
black spot ; the branches of the fork-cells mostly black scaled, a 
pale patch at the base of each cell ; the third vein is mostly pale 
with a small dark spot at the apex and one on each side of the 
cross veins ; there are pale areas over the cross-veins, and a large 
pale area on the lower branch of the fifth, and another towards 
its base, and two small pale areas on the sixth towards the 
base ; the fringe is dark, but there are pale spots where alli 
the veins join the costa except at the sixth ; halteres pale with 
slightly fuscous knob. 
¢. Described previously as the ¢ of M. oulatefalees 
Length.—5 mm. 
Habitat.—Ellichpur, India (Liston). 
Observations.—This species is very distinct, the black apices 
to the palpi at once separating it from all the rest of this 
group except M. Hispaniola. Captain Liston figures the third 
long vein dark, the specimen described here has it mostly 
yellow ; all intermediate stages exist.
