420 DIPTERA. 
scutellum with four bristles, its hind-border rufous; metanotum grey; tip of the abdomen rufous, with 
some black bristles on each side. Legs and halteres rufous. Wings rather long and narrow, with a 
minute costal spine ; the base and a large portion of the hind margin are hyaline, with some brownish 
cross-lines ; the proximal half of the stigma is clear; the fuscous coloration commences at the tip of the 
stigma, and extends in an oblique direction over the small and posterior cross-veins; beyond the stigma 
there are three subquadrate hyaline costal spots, which form, in connection with two spots between the 
second and third veins, and with an oval spot in the first posterior cell, the large hyaline triangle which 
is usual in the genus Tephritis; round the tip of the wings there are several hyaline incisions, and among 
them a hyaline dot between the third and fourth veins ; in the first posterior cell are some small clear 
dots. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (H. H. Smith & F. D. Godman). 
A single male specimen. The coloration of the wings is much like that of 7. jinalis, 
except that there is a hyaline spot at the tip. 
3. Tephritis subradiata, sp. n., ¢. (Tab. XII. fig. 24, wing.) 
Cinereous ; head and legs rufous; the fuscous pattern of the wings covering the small and posterior cross- 
veins ; stigma blackish ; beyond the stigma two hyaline costal spots; a similar spot at the end of the 
first posterior cell. 
Length 3 millim. 
Head rounded, yellowish-rufous ; front as broad as the eyes; face slightly excavated ; oral margin a little 
prominent ; cheeks rather broad. Antenne rufous; third joint oval, reaching to the middle of the face. 
Proboscis and palpi rufous. Thorax and scutellum blackish, with yellow hairs; upper portion of the 
pleuree and hind border of the scutellum rufous; scutellum with four bristles; metanotum grey. 
Abdomen cinereous, with yellow hairs, and indistinct narrow yellowish hind-borders to the segments ; 
apical segment as long as the penultimate. Legs rufous, rather stout. Halteres pale rufous. Wings 
long and narrow, with a small costal spine ; the base and the basal half of the hind margin are hyaline, 
beyond the small basal cells interrupted by some fuscous cross-lines; the stigma is blackish, with a 
rather indistinct clear dot at the tip; the fuscous coloration of the wings commences at the stigma and 
includes both cross-veins ; beyond the stigma there are two hyaline incisions reaching to near the third 
vein ; similar incisions are visibie round the apex of the wings; a rather large hyaline dot is in the first 
posterior cell, nearly above the posterior cross-vein ; there are also in the fuscous coloration several small 
clear dots, of which two or three are placed on each side of the small and posterior cross-veins. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. H. Smith). 
A single male specimen. The coloration of the apex of the wings forms a somewhat 
radiated pattern, and this species therefore forms a transition to the genus Ewaresta. 
4, Tephritis cancellata, sp.n..¢ @. (Tab. XII. fig. 25, wing.) 
Cinereous ; abdomen with brown spots; head and legs rufous; wings reticulated with fuscous; stigma clear, 
blackish at the tip; small cross-vein not bordered with fuscous. 
Length 3 millim. 
Head rufous; front as broad as the eyes, slightly narrower towards the base of the antenne ; frontal bristles 
black ; a row of yellow bristles on the vertex behind the eyes; face a little retracted ; cheeks narrow ; 
oral margin not prominent; occiput cinereous. Antenne rufous, reaching to beneath the middle of the 
face. Proboscis and palpi rufous. Thorax, scutellum, and abdomen cinereous. Abdomen elliptical; the 
second and each of the following segments with two brown spots (in the female these spots less distinct) ; 
hind-borders of the segments with yellow bristly hairs ; ovipositor of the female flattened, as long as the 
last two or three segments together. Legs and halteres rufous. Wings rather long and narrow, with a
