Legs dark brown, the apical segment of the fore and mid tarsi bent, a dense tuft of long dark scales projecting over the last tarsal from the third; hind legs normal; ungues all equal and simple.
Wings with the first fork-cell longer and about the same breadth as the second, its stem nearly as long as the cell; stem of the second fork-cell as long as the cell; bases of the two cells about level; posterior cross-vein about one and a half times its own length distant from the mid; second long vein carried just past the super- numerary, with one or two scales; lateral vein scales long, thin, and forked at their apices, a double row of spatulate median vein scales on the first long vein and on the outer branch of the second; a distinct fold between the fifth and sixth long veins; outer costal border densely spinose.
Length: 2 mm.
Time of capture: 12, vii., '07.
Habitat: Obuasi.
Observations: Described from a single taken in a house. In spite of the very marked feet, I have placed it in the genus Hodgesia, Theobald, as the wing scales, &c., exactly answer to those in it. It comes very near Hodgesia sanguinea, but can be told by the coloured patch on the head and the stem of the first fork-cell being nearly as long as the cell, as well as the very marked scale structure on the feet.
