Gl. palpalis u'cllinani Austen. Described in 1905. Differs 

 from type by having the frontal stripe pale ochraceous ; thoracic 

 markings much reduced, presenting a spotted appearance; spot 

 behind humeral callus small, avoid or nearly circular; femora 

 pale, the dark blotches much reduced. 



There is also an unnamed variety which was at first desig- 

 nated GL palpalis var. tachinoidcs Westw., and was thought to 

 represent a fly which, when true specimens were obtained, was 

 recognized by Mr. Austen to be of specific rank (Gl. tachinoides 

 Westw. [indc supra]), the variation from Gl. palpalis remain-

 it down for the purposes of this paper as 



Gl. palpalis var. a. It is distinguished from Gl. palpalis 

 principally by its' pale femora and a yellow median stripe on 

 the abdomen.* There is also another variation from the typical 

 G7. palpalis which may be differentiated as follows : 



Gl. palpalis var. b. Femora still paler than foregoing; palpi 

 pale except at tips ; abdomen reddish brown with the pale area 

 on second segment oblong, f
