468 SUPPLEMENT. 
Nearly allied to J. nitzdula, from which it differs in having the scutellum covered with cinereous tomentum, 
and the abdomen armed with many spines, which are not ranged in rows, but cover its whole surface; the 
legs, especially the tarsi, are more slender, the front tarsi still less dilated. 
Hab. Mexico!, Xucumanatlan and Omilteme in Guerrero 7000 ‘to 8000 feet 
(H. H. Smith). 
Two females. 
6. Jurinia punctata. 
Jurinia punctata, v. d. Wulp, Tijdschr. voor Ent. xxxv. p. 191°. 
Black ; thorax anteriorly cinereous ; head yellowish ; basal joints of the antenne rufous, third joint brown ; 
palpi rufous; spines of the third abdominal segment in a transverse row ; wings with a brown spot on 
the small cross-vein. 
Length 11 millim. 
Head pale yellow ; front a little broader than the eyes ; frontal band reddish-brown ; frontal bristles on both 
sides in a curved row, descending nearly as far as the end of the second antennal joint; exterior to them 
two strong orbital bristles; cheeks with weak black hairs; beard and pilosity of the occiput whitish. 
Third antennal joint elliptical, a little shorter than the second. Proboscis shining black ; palpi pale 
rufous, filiform, scarcely thicker towards the tip. Thorax black, anteriorly with some cinereous tomentum 
and indistinct black stripes; scutellum black, with many spines, those on the hind margin longer and 
turned backward. Abdomen broadly ovate, black, and black-haired, the spines (as in J. adusta) not 
covering the whole surface, those on the hind margin of the third segment arranged in a row. Legs 
black, with many bristles ; on the outside of the middle tibiw the bristles are longer; front tarsi not 
dilated ; foot-claws black, pulvilli whitish. Tegule blackish. Wings with a brownish tint; small cross- 
vein bordered with brown and nearly on the middle of the discal cell; apical and posterior cross-veins 
infuscated and curved. 
Hab. Mexico}, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
A single female specimen. This species may perhaps be identical with Echinomyia 
fuliginipennis, Macq. (Suites & Buffon, Dipt. ii. p. 77), from Brazil: the description 
(though referring to the male sex only) applies, so far as it goes ; but Macquart subse- 
quently (Dipt. Exot. ii. p. 39) states that EF. fuliginipennis is synonymous with Tachina 
bicolor, Wiedem., and gives a figure of the head. According to this figure the palpi 
are much thicker than in Jurinia punctata, which cannot possibly be the same as 
Tachina bicolor, Wiedem., the latter having the abdomen densely beset with spines. 
7. Jurinia nepticula. 
Jurinia nepticula, v. d, Wulp, Tijdschr. voor Ent. xxxv. p. 191°. 
Thorax cinereous; scutellum testaceous; abdomen shining black, laterally dark rufous; head yellowish ; 
antenne rufous, with the third joint black ; palpi rufous; legs black; spines of the second and third 
abdominal segments at the hind margin only ; tegule whitish. 
Length 10-5 millim. 
Closely allied to J. punctata, from which it differs in having the scutellum testaceous and the sides of the 
abdomen reddish-brown ; in the male this latter colour is more conspicuous, and only a dorsal band and 
the anal segment are black; the spines on the abdomen are less numerous; the tegule whitish. 
Hab. Mexico1, Amula and Xucumanatlan in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
Two males and three females.
