narrow Taeniorhynchus-like scales; first sub-marginal cell longer 
and narrower than the second posterior cell, their bases about 
level, that of the former if anything slightly nearer the apex 
of the wing ; its stem about one-half the length of the cell ; stem

of the second posterior about one-half the length of the cell ; 
posterior cross-vein nearly twice its own length from the mid 
cross-vein. Halteres with pale stem and fuscous knob. 
Length.—4 mm. 
6. Thorax and legs as in the 9, but the legs are darker 
and the spots more prominent. Palpi long and pointed, apex 
with a broad yellow band, and with four equidistant yellow 
bands below, with thick deep brown hairs on the two apical 
joints and down as far as the second pale spot from the base ; 
antennae annulated with deep brown and pure white. Fork- 
cells both short ; first sub-marginal longer and narrower than the 
second posterior cell, their bases about level, its stem not quite 
half the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein twice its own 
length distant from the mid; fore and mid ungues unequal and 
uniserrated ; hind equal and simple. 
Length.—5 mm. 
Time of capture.—September. 
Habitat.— Entebbe, Uganda. . 
Observations.— Described from two perfect ?’s and one ¢. 
It comes very near P. Durbanensis, but can at once be told by 
its beautifully ornamented legs, the spots on the femora and 
tibiae being very characteristic and prominent. One specimen 
bred from the same locality and at the same time as the one 
described here has an unbanded abdomen, the last segment only 
bearing any trace of pale markings, there are no other differences, 
however. The ¢ has the legs rather darker than the ? and 
the spots more pronounced in consequence,
