FLIES OF THE GENUS OGCODES — SCHLINGER 265 



species can now be added two new ones, orientalis from Cambodia 

 and philippinensis, making a total of 10 species known for this area. 



Ogcodes (Ogcodes) angustimarginatus Brunetti 



Oncodes angustimarginatus Brunetti, Fauna British India, vol. 1, p. 171, 1920. 



Type locality: Ceylon. 



Discussion: Species group unknown. According to a letter from 

 Dr. B. P. Pal dated May 5, 1954, the type specimen of this species 

 is in the National Pusa Collection at the Indian Agi'icultural Research 

 Institute in New Delhi, India, and not in the British Museum as 

 stated by Brunetti (1920, p. 171). A colored drawing of this type 

 specimen was prepared for my study, and from this figure an entirely 

 new species concept is deduced. This drawing shows the mesonotum 

 to have a Hght brown ground color with three distinct black vittae, 

 whereas Brunetti (1920, p. 171) stated: "Thorax moderately shining 

 black, covered with moderately short, rather dense, brownish yellow 

 pubescence; scutellum similar." Then at the end of his description 

 he stated: "Described from a single specimen in the British Museum 

 from Pirivipancheram, Ceylon, 21. i. 1892 (Col. Yerbury)." A note 

 added: "Only example seen; at top of hill, found near form of a 

 sambur. A second specimen from Pusa, 6. xii. 1911, with the thorax 

 all black." This last statement infers that the type specimen had 

 a differently colored thorax, and I interpret the thorax as being vittate 

 as shown by the drawing of the type specimen. In this connection, 

 T have assumed that somehow the type specimens of angustimar- 

 ginatus and octomaculatus were mixed up, and that the figure of the 

 thorax of octomaculatus by Brunetti (1920, pi. 2, fig. 28) is in reality 

 that of angustimarginatus (see also the discussion under gutiatus) . 



According to the drawing of the type on hand, veins Mi, r-m and 

 m-cu are absent and the general body color is brown instead of black, 

 but the narrow abdominal fasciae are about as described by Brunetti. 



Ogcodes (Ogcodes) respersus Segiiy 



Oncodes respersus Seguy, Mus. Heude, vol. 2, p. 175, 1935. 



Type locality: Tchen-kiang, Kiangsu Province, China (9). 



Discussion: This species probably belongs in group v, judging from 

 the description and the resemblance to both orientalis, new species, 

 and philippinensis, new species. Seguy did mention, however, that 

 the terminal antennal segment had two minute setae on the apex, and 

 this is a character not common to the gi-oup. He did not mention 

 the wing venation and the type female was not available for study.
