broader than the second; arista thickened beyond the middle; palpi with black 
bristles. Thorax black, with long black hairs and still longer macrochete ; pleure

Two male specimens, perfectly agreeing with Jaennicke’s description 1, which, how- 
ever, is founded on the female sex alone. 
The abdomen is broader and more flattened than in the other species of the genus, 
being somewhat quadrate with rounded angles ; the spines on the two middle segments 
of the abdomen form a curved row round the black dorsal spots; and these spots are . 
also beset with some shorter spines. 
In the shape of the antenne this species more nearly approaches the genus Echino- 
myia, the third joint being a little shorter than the second and rather convex at the 
front side. The palpi are black, or at least very dark brown; the tarsal claws 
are wholly black.
