marginal pair; anal with a submarginal row of six. Legs black, claws 

 and pulvilli rather elongate, pulvilli whitish. Wings grayish hyaline, basal 

 portion and wing veins yellowish; tegulse soft brownish yellow, halteres 

 tawny. Length of body 4.5 mm.; of wing 4 mm. 



Described from one specimen; So. Florida (Robertson). This 

 genus differs from Ennyomma Twns. in the closed apical cell, 

 which terminates just before tip of wing. 



ATROPHOPALPUS n. gen. 



Considerably resembling Ccratomyiella, but differs in the char- 

 acter of the palpi. Belongs in Phytoinae. Head more or less 

 triangular in profile. Front rather prominent, narrow in $ , 

 about one-fifth width of head, widened before, face widening at 

 same angle; frontal bristles in a single row, descending on sides 

 of face to lower border of eyes; vertical and next two pairs di- 

 rected backward, rest forward and inward, the descending ones 

 downward; no orbital bristles (.$). Face receding, epistoma 

 somewhat prominent; facial depression two-thirds width of face, 

 not deep; facial ridges bare, except a bristle or two next vibrissse, 

 latter inserted at constriction of ridges about on oral margin, 

 rather stout, decussate; sides of face narrow, bare except for the 

 fringe of descending frontal bristles; cheeks nearly one-third eye- 

 hight, hairy. Eyes very thinly hairy, almost bare. Antennae 

 as long as face, second joint not elongate, third about five times 

 as long as second, narrow; arista thickened on basal third, mi- 

 croscopically pubescent, apparently only 2-jointed, basal joint 

 short. Proboscis somewhat elongate, about as long as hight of 

 head, not very stout, labella present; palpi very small, short fili- 

 form, terminating in a long bristle. Thorax about as wide as 

 head; scutellum with an apical decussate, and two lateral pairs 

 of macrochaetae. Abdomen narrower than thorax, elongate cy- 

 lindro-conical, first segment not shortened; macrochaetae only 

 marginal; hypopygium more or less exserted. Legs rather long 

 and slender, not very bristly; claws and pulvilli of $ rather elon- 

 gate, front ones apparently longest. Wings a little longer than 

 abdomen, with costal spine, third vein bristly half way to small 

 cross-vein; apical cell closed in border at tip of wing, fourth vein 

 bent at wide angle, without stump or wrinkle, apical cross-vein 

 very slightly concave; hind cross- vein nearly straight, rather 

 oblique, nearer to bend of fourth vein. Type, A. angusticornis 

 n. sp.
