the second antennal joint, the 3 uppermost frontal bristles in the male 

 stout, recurved, and of equal length, in the female the penultimate 

 bristle is only two-thirds the length of the other two; frontal bristles below 

 the base of the antennae curving upwardly; parafrontals outside of the 

 frontal row covered with many black hairs, 2 pairs of strong proclinate 

 orbital bristles present in the female; ocellar bristles long, proclinate; 

 vibrissse on a level with the front edge of the oral margin; facial ridges 

 ciliate on the lowest two-thirds to four-fifths, the bristles long, reclinate; 

 antennae black, dusted grayish white pollinose; the third joint in both sexes 

 at least four times as long as the second, its greatest width equal to the 

 length of the second antennal joint; arista one and one-half times as long 

 as the third antennal joint, thickened on the basal one-fifth to one-fourth, 

 the penultimate joint longer than broad; dieeks caudad of the vibrissae 

 each bearing a row of black macrochaetse near the oral margin, the remainder 

 covered with many black hairs, about one-fifth as broad as the eye height; 

 sides of face each one-fifth as wide as the median depression ; palpi reddish 

 yellow, robust, and slightly spatulate. 



Mesonotum black, appearing when viewed from behind densely yellow- 

 ish-gray pollinose, the pollen appearing at its greatest density along the 

 anterior margin and upon the humeri, distinctly vittate; four pairs of post- 

 sutural and three pairs of postacrostichal bristles; pleura dusted gray 

 pollinose; two sternopleural bristles; scutellum brownish on the apical half, 

 dusted with pollen, bearing a strong pair of discal macrochaetse 'and four 

 pairs of long marginals, the apical pair cruciate; legs shining black, gray pol- 

 linose; the middle tibiae each bearing two macrochaetse on the front side 

 near the middle; hind tibiae ciliate or subciliate; tarsal claws and pulvill- 

 elongate in the male, short in the female. 



First abdominal segment black; the second and third segments gray- 

 ish-white pollinose on the anterior two-thirds, the posterior third shining 

 black; the fourth segment shining black except on the sides, which are 

 densely gray pollinose; first and second segments each bearing a pair of 

 marginal macrochaetae; the third a marginal row and the fourth a discal 

 and marginal row and many shorter bristles intermingled on the apical 

 two-thirds; along the ventral median of the female a row of black ma- 

 crochaetae. 



Wings hyaline, faintly tinged with yellow at the base and along the 

 costa; the third vein usually bristly one-half to two-thirds the distance 

 from the base to the small cross-vein ; the fourth vein beyond the bend 

 concave; the small cross-vein distinctly before the middle of the discal 

 cell; posterior cross-vein sinuous; calypteres whitish, faintly bordered with 

 yellow. 



This species differs from Phorocera tortricts Coq. as follows : 

 P. tortricis is a smaller species, the hairs of the abdomen are 

 suberect, and the third vein bears only two bristles at its base; 

 none of these characters are true of P. einaris. P. einaris
