422 DIPTERA. 
large hyaline marginal dots round the apex of the wings are fewer in number, as there is only one 
(instead of two) between the second and third veins. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (H. H. Smith & F. D. Godman). 
A single female specimen. 
7. Tephritis semifusca, sp.n.,¢. (Tab. XII. fig. 28, wing.) 
Cinereous ; legs rufous; anterior half and tip of the wings fuscous, interrupted only by some clear dots ; 
stigma without white dots. 
Length 3 millim. 
Front cinereous, broader than the eyes, slightly narrower anteriorly ; frontal bristles brown ; face and cheeks 
yellowish, the face inferiorly a little prominent ; cheeks narrow. Antenne brownish-rufous, reaching to 
the middle of the face. Proboscis and palpi pale rufous. Thorax cinereous; scutellum somewhat 
reddish, with four bristles. Abdomen ovate, brownish-cinereous, with black cross-bands, which are 
interrupted in the middle. Legs and halteres yellowish-rufous. Wings elongate; the black stigma with 
a clear line at the end of the auxiliary vein, but no white dots; except at the base, the anterior half of 
.the wings is fuscous, with some hyaline dots; in the costal cell there are two brownish spots, one 
bordering the humeral cross-vein, the other between it and the stigma; immediately beyond the stigma 
is a hyaline spot, not reaching the second vein ; further along the costa are three small clear dots, and 
between the second and third veins two larger hyaline dots; at the tip of the wings there is no hyaline 
dot; the small cross-vein has a fuscous border, in which on each side are two small clear dots; in the 
hyaline portion of the wings are some small spots or fragments of reticulation. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango (forrer). 
Two males. 
8. Tephritis intricata, sp.n.,@. (Tab. XII. fig. 29, wing.) 
Cinereous; abdomen with blackish spots; wings with two large fuscous spots, one near the stigma and the 
other at the tip, both interrupted by hyaline dots, the stigma with two white dots. 
Length 3 millim. 
Closely allied to the preceding (7. semifusca). The front and the thorax a little more rufous; the blackish 
cross-bands of the abdomen more distinct and in the form of two spots on each segment. The coloration 
of the wings somewhat different, the fuscous border being largely interrupted at the middle of the costa 
and forming two large spots, one in the vicinity of the stigma, the other at the apex; in the stigma are 
two white dots; at the tip of the wings there is no hyaline dot. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango (forrer). 
Three females. I should be inclined to refer them to 7. semifusca, if the markings 
of the wings were not so strikingly different.
