DIPTERA. 465 
The description of this species (anted, p. 24) was taken from a single female, but 
in the collections subsequently received from Mexico there are numerous examples of 
both sexes. It proves to be quite distinct from S. wnicolor, of which males and 
females are now known. The antenne usually have the basal joints, and sometimes 
even the base of the third joint, more or less rufous. ‘The femora are generally black, 
and the tibie and tarsi rufous. The scutellum is usually black, but in some well- 
preserved specimens it is covered by cinereous tomentum, like the thorax. The male 
is very like the female, but has a narrower front and elongate foot-claws and pulvilli. 
The length varies from 8 to 11-5 millim. 
In Prof. Bellardi’s collection there are four specimens (1 ¢ and 3 2 ) from Mexico. 
Saundersia testacea (p. 24). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico (coll. Bellardi), Omilteme in Guerrero 
8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
There is a pair of this species in Professor Bellardi’s collection. ‘The female agrees 
with the male, except in the broader front and the shorter pulvilli and foot-claws; the 
latter are likewise yellow, with black tips; the front tarsi are not dilated. 
The female specimen from Guatemala (noticed on p. 25, antea) belongs to 
S. consanguined.

Thorax blackish ; scutellum and abdomen brownish-yellow ; antenne and legs (including the foot-claws) black. 
Length 14°5 millim. 
Closely allied to S. testacea, v. d. Wulp, but differing from it in the black foot-claws and the yellowish colora- 
tion of the scutellum and abdomen, and, in the male, in the narrower front, which posteriorly is not 
more than half as broad as the diameter of the eyes. In the female the hind margin of the thorax is 
yellowish, like the scutellum and abdomen.
