133. fasciata, Meig. Zw. i. 91. 3 (1818); Winn. Teem, fusca, 

 antennis W-urtlculatis, thorace fusco-flavo, vittis tribus nigro - fuscis, 

 pectore uign'cante, alis palUde cinereis, halteribus abdoraineque albidis,

Tern. Brown. Antennce fourteen-jointed. Thorax brownish-yellow, 

 with 'three blackish-brown stripes, and with a black spot on each side 

 behind. Pectus blackish. Wings pale grey. Halteres yellowish-white. 

 Abdomen yellowish-white, with a black shining band on the hind bor- 

 der of each segment, from the first to the seventh. 



Meigen supposes that his C. grandis may be the male of C. 



fasciata, but does not mention whether the two are alike in the 

 structure of the thorax. Winnertz describes a male, and observes 

 that his, and the two following descriptions of males, — Cecidorni/ia 



fasciata, Bremi, TS^eue Denlcschr. Schw. Gesell. 60 (18-17), and 

 Cecidomyia fasciata, Loew, Prog. Gymn. Pos, 31 (1850), — com- 

 prise three distinct species. Hondani's genus Ozirhincus seems 

 to be nearly allied to this and to the follow"ing species.
