Kertész, K.: Some remarks on Cadrema lonchopteroides Walk. with description of a new Musidora from the Oriental Region

ON CADREMA LONCIIOPTEROIDES WALK. 675 Musidora orientális n. sp. c? 5 . Head shining yellow, face whitish-yellow, the spot of the ocelli dark­ened. Antennae yellow, arista blackish-brown. The bristles on the vertex, jowls and peristome'and the cilia on the margins of the eyes yellow, the orbital and ocellar bristles somewhat brownish. Thorax yellow to reddish-yellow, dull (owing to dust) with two indis­tinct narrow stripes in the line of the dorsocentral bristles beginning behind the suture only, and not reaching the scutellum ; above the notopleural suture likewise a brown stripe, dilated in front, and black just before the basis of the wings. Scutellum quite yellow. The bristles of the thorax as well as those 011 the scutellum yellow. Pleurae pale yellow, faintly shining. Abdomen brownish to blackish-brown, a little shining. Hypopygium of the male yellow to brownish, complicated and very difficult to describe, therefore I prefer to give a sketch of it. The posterior gonapophyses (jxj) curved, dilated below and becoming smaller to­wards the apical part ; the anterior ones (ag) long, stick-like, bearing a strong and long bristle on the tip and in the apical third on the inner side two similar ones, the upper of which is longer than the inferior one. The penis armour can not be seen very well, but the small plate lying over it is very characteristic, bearing two long bristles on the upper part and two short ones on the sides. Legs pale yellowish, the last four joints of the tarsi more or less darkened. Front femora with two bristles on the upper side before the tip. On the middle- and hind tibiae two bristles on the front and one behind, the last-named shorter than the other two. Wings uniformly yellowish, the veins of the same colour. The anal vein ends somewhat before or opposite to the fork of the fourth longitudinal vein. Halteres yellowish to brownish-yellow. The females are very similar to the males, but their colour is always darker and the wings are not so intensively yellow. All bristles are brownish, but those 011 the vertex and the cilia on the margins of the eyes always yellow. Lenght 8'2 mm, wings 4*1 mm. Three males and four females from Formosa caught by Mr. H. SAUTER at Chip Chip (I. III. 1909), Kosempo (XI. 1908) and Piïam (XII. 1908). 43* Hypopygium of the male of Musi­dora orientális n. sp. seen from be­low. ag anterior gonapophyses, pg posterior gonapophyses.
