*The following three genera are not sufficiently well defined to place in this synopsis. In 
color and structural characters they are closely related to Cynomyia from which they may be 
distinguished as follows. Calapicephala Macq., represented by the species C. splendens from 
Java, has the setae on the facial ridges rising to the base of the antennae and has median margi¬ 
nal macrochaetae on the abdominal segments two to four: Blepharicnema Macq., represented by 
B. splendens from Venezuela has bare genae, oral setae not ascending; tibiae villose; claws short 
in both seses; Sar'onesia Bigot with the species -S', chlorogaster from Chile, setose genae; legs 
slender, not villose; claws of the mae! elongate.
