254 NOKTH AMERICAN ANTHOMYIID FLIES OF GENUS PHAONIA 



liairs on upper half; parafacial at base of antennae wider than the narrow 

 third antennal segment, narrowed below; cheek about twice as high as widest 

 part of parafacial; longest hairs on arista as long as width of third antennal 

 segment. Thorax without differentiated presutural acrostichals; prealar 

 long; postsutural dorsocentrals three; hypopleura with some weak hairs on 

 upper margin in front of spiracle. Basal sternite bare. Fore tibia with a 

 long median posterior bristle; fore tarsus slender, longer than tibia, basal 

 segment without long outstanding posterior sensory hairs; mid femur with 

 some long bristles on basal half of posteroventral surface; mid tibia with two 

 long posterior bristles; hind femur with some moderately long hairs on basal 

 third of ventral surface, a series of bristles on anteroventral surface which 

 are very short basally and some long bristles on basal half of posteroventral 

 surface; hind tibia with two anteroventral and two anterodorsal bristles; the 

 <?alcar long, but little beyond middle. 

 Length, 7. 5 mm. 



Redescribed from a male compared with type Ijy Dr. Aldrich, 

 Lakehurst, New Jersey, May 24, (W. T. Davis). Originally 

 described from Georgia. Stein described dulcis from Austin, 

 Texas, and Lakehurst, New Jersey. 



Phaonia quieta Stein 



Phaonia quieta Stein, Arch, fiir Naturges., 1918, abt. A, heft 9, p. 14, 1920. 



I have identified as this species, which was described from 

 three pairs taken by Dr. Aldrich at Friday Harbor, Washington, 

 a male and female from California. Stein compares it with 

 erratica Fallen and errans Meigen, so that it is unquestionably 

 correctly placed in my key, and unless there are two very closely 

 allied species here I am fairly confident that my identification 

 is correct. Stein makes no mention of any of the characters I 

 use in my key for separating it from its allies, and I have placed 

 it in three categories to insure its identification should I be 

 incorrect in my surmise. 



Length, 8 to 9 mm. 



Phaonia pulvillata (Stein) 



Aricia pulvillata Stein, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hungar., ir, p. 422, 1904. 



This species was not included by Stein in his last paper on 

 North American Anthomyiidac. It is very closely allied to 

 quieta, or at least to the species which I have identified as that, 

 having the same habitus and the characters as stated in the key.
