Frons slightly longer than broad; lower post-antennals not half as 

 large as the strong upper pair ; central pair of bristles in first row 

 slightly below level of upper post-antennals and nearer to them than 

 to eye margin; outer pair in same row slightly higher placed than 

 upper post-antennals and about as far from the central pair as from 

 eye margin ; antennae of moderate size ; arista slightly longer than 

 f rons, slightly pubescent ; palpi large, the size exceeding that of the 

 third antennal joint, almost bare, the bristles very short.

 subequal ; last 2 with numerous short discal hairs and a few longer 

 posterior marginal hairs ; second segment with several lateral hairs 

 which are not very conspicuous ; anal protuberance large, well ex- 

 posed, the apex with the usual curved hairs. 



Basal joint of fore tarsus about three-fifths as long as fore tibia, 

 and slightly longer than joints 2 plus 3, much swollen, as thick as tibia; 

 hind femur with soft hairs to middle on ventral surface; hind tibial 

 setulae very weak and hair-like. 



Costa to wing middle ; first division slightly longer than second, 

 and shorter than 2 plus 3, third division slightly less than half as

Holotype: Frankford, Philadelphia, September, 1913, (J. 

 R. Malloch). Type No. 6056. Taken indoors on window. 



This species is allied to projecta Becker, but differs ma- 

 terially in wing venation. It shows a nearer approach to 

 wagnipalpis Aldrich in venation but differs in coloration and 

 other characters from that species.

 whitish gray pollinose ; pleurae, lateral margins of mesonotum nar- 

 rowly, and abdomen on sides gray pollinose. Legs black-brown. 

 Wings clear, veins black, vein 4 traceable to margin though not dark- 

 ened beyond cross-vein, vein 5 not distinguishable beyond cross-vein. 

 Halteres with yellow knob and darkened pedicel. 



Frons entirely shining; all bristles strong, the two orbital bristles 

 subequal in size, anterior to the lower one there are several short se- 

 tulae; divergent ventral rows of setulae distinct, incurved; 5-6 in
