verse furrow between eyes. Eyes relatively small, prominent, globose, approaching ventral surface of head in lateral aspect. Diatone 1.75 times as wide as interocular space. Labial segment I cylindrical, atteining antenniferous tubercle, segment II apically narrowed, surpassing the middle of eye, segment III slender, passing the hind margin of head. Antennae long and very slender, segment I slightly shorter than segment II. - Pronotum as shown in Figs 1 and 2, elongate, about 2.45 times longer than its greatest width (across humeral angles), sharply separated into fore and hind lobes by a transverse constriction; fore lobe slender, about 1.5 times longer than hind lobe, lateral margins straight, diverging anteriorly; hind lobe strong, subtriangular, hind margin concave, humeral angles broadly rounded. - Fore leg as in Fig. 3, gracile. Coxa long, cylindrical, straight, about half as long as femur. Femur elongated, slender, with two rows of spiniferous tubercles; posteroventral series composed of 10 large and about 60-65 small spiniferous tubercles, anteroventral series of 12 large and about 70 small ones. Tibia about 0.8 times as long as femur, slender, slightly arched, its ventral surface with a row of inclined short spines of two different length. Tarsus small, its segments subequal in length. Mid and hind legs extremely elongate and delicate, apex of femora far surpassing apex of abdomen. Fore wing without subbasal cell (M and Cu not connected basad of discal cell). - Abdomen elongated, slender. Genital region of male as shown in Figs 5, 7 and 8, posterior border of pygophore with a long, stout, arched prolongation directed upward, its apical part narrowed and curved backward (Fig. 6). Parameres elongated, directed upward, strongly arched forward and medially (Figs 5, 7 and 8); chaetotaxy as on Fig. 9. Shape of phallus as shown in Figs 10-11 ; general structure similar to that of M. tipulina, but dorsal connective directed posteriorly. - Measurements (in mm). Total length of body (from apex of head to posterior end of abdomen) 19.8. Length of head 1.74, preocular part 0.83, postocular part 0.52; width across eyes 1.12, interocular distance 0.64. Length of antennái segments I : II = 9.69 : 9.85 (segments III—IV absent on holotype). Length of labial segments I : II : III = 0.95 : 0.74 : 0.86. Length of pronotum 4.91, fore lobe 2.97, hind lobe 1.94; width across humeral angles 2.00. Length of fore coxa 3.69, femur 7.27, tibia 5.76, tarsus 0.76; length of mid femur 12.46, tibia 23.08, tarsus 0.50; length of hind femur 16.92, tibia 27.85, tarsus 0.40. Etymology - The name is from Latin zebrina, 'zebra-striped' ; referring to the colouration of the species. Diagnosis - The new species can easily be distinguished from the other known species of the subgenus by the combination of the following characters. ( 1 ) Pronotum elongate, its fore lobe about 1.5 times longer than hind lobe. In case of in M. kempi, M. fluitaria, M. blotei and M. incompta sp. n., the fore lobe is slightly (about 1.1-1.15 times) longer than hind lobe; in Myiophanes karenia, the fore and hind lobes are subequal in length and in M. annulifera, M. greeni and M. tipulina, the fore lobe is more or less shorter than hind lobe. (2) Apparent dark annulation is present on the fore legs in characteristic pattern; fore pronotal lobe with a broad central annulus dark brown, dark brown hind pronotal lobe with a pair of longitudinal stramineous stripes anteriorly; abdomen with five dark brown transverse annuli. The other species of the subgenus have only pale annuli on fore legs and the pronotum and abdomen are differently coloured, except M. greeni and M. incompta which have very similar colouration to M. zebrina.
