HYLEPHILA Rondani 



This genus differs from Hamrnomyia in having the arista 

 nearly or quite bare. In the "Katalog der palaearktischen 

 Dipteren" the genus is merged with Hammomyia. Two species 

 are found among the New York State material, one is HijleyMla 

 maculata Stein, the other, unfortunately represented by female 

 specimens only, is but 4 mm. in length and differs from other 

 species in chaetotaxy. 



HYLEMYIA R. D. 



Schnabl and Dziedzicki place the species of the genus Hylemyia 

 (sensu auct. nee. Schn. et Dz.) that have no cruciate setae on the 

 front in the female, in the genus Pegomyia (subgenera Pegoplata 

 and Pegomyza). On the other hand certain species, such as 

 radicum, cilicrura {=fusciceps), ceparurn, hrassicae, et al., which 

 heretofore have been placed in Anthomyia or Phorbia, have been 

 transferred to Hylemyia. 



Hylemyia tenax n. sp. 



Male. Length 7 mm. Orbits contiguous for a distance nearly equal to the 

 length of the frontal triangle, the latter black, margined with five or six pairs of 

 orbital setae; front and genae projecting but slightly in profile, oral margin 

 not prominent; buccae slightly wider in profile than the length of second 

 antennal segment, the latter reddish, less than half as long as the elongate, 

 blackish, third segment; arista long plumose; palpi yeUow; proboscis black; 

 genae, buccae, and occiput light grayish pruinose; frontal lunule reddish. 

 Thorax black, thick yellowish -gray pruinose, with scarcely a trace of longi- 

 tudinal lines; inner dorso-centrals strong; outer dorso-centrals 2-|-3; "pra" 

 distinct but less than a third as long as the following seta; sterno-pleurals 2+2, 

 the lower anterior long, but slender. Abdomen somewhat depressed, elongate 

 oval, narrower than the thorax; the basal segments more or less translucent 

 yellowish except at the immediate base, the other segments more grayish,
