General coloration brown. Heatl, roslrum, mouthparts and antminac 
coiicotoroiis. dliorax concolorous, the stripes not well defined and hut little 
darker than the narrower inters])aees, the latter with a row of short white 
hairs, which are continued upon the scutum. The jiosterior margin of the

and its branches; a fuscous spot close to the origin of Rs; the fuscous margin-

Ilolotype. — 9; Hazleton, Pennsylvania. October 4, 1920. 
It is tvitli some temerity I add this species to a s^'iius, the 
sp(‘cies of which, at kaist of North America, are ill-defined and 
greatly in ihhmI of a thorough revision. The above species is 
grc'atly at. varianca* with any other known to me. Its nearest 
alli('s apix'ai' to be IdnHicula Walker and ntdculipennis Meigen. 
'riu! wings, however, are much darker, aside fi'om the fuscous 
seaming of th(' veins. In wing color it resembles f^ubsinuata 
.Vh'xandei', though a trith' darker; in the latter species, the wings 
are unicoloious.
