form with the black second antennal segments an almost complete 

 black transverse band at that point. The wing markings consist of 

 pale fuscous spots, not fasciae. 



The very broad facial carina is sharply margined on the sides and 

 has many fine striae which diverge vertically from upper to lower 

 margin, and in none of the specimens before me can I detect any 

 hairs on the arista. 



Locality, Samar Island, P. I. (C. F. Baker). 



EUPROSOPIA DORSATA Hendel 



Euprosopia dorsata Hendel, Abband. k. k. Zool.-Bot. Gesellsch., Wieu, 

 vol. 8, heft. 1, 1914, p. 340. 



This species may possibly prove to be but a variety of the fore- 

 going one as the only character that appears to me to be of conse- 

 quence in distinguishing it is the pubescent base of the arista. The 

 scutellum is not emarginate at apex, but in many examples of sex- 

 punctata before me the emargination is lacking also. 



Locality, Mount Moises, Isabella Province, Luzon, P. I., Febru- 

 ary, 1926 (R. C. McGregor). 



It may be worth mention that in both the above species the fore 

 femur has a series of short, stout bristles on the median portion of 

 the posterodorsal surface which is duplicated centrally, instead of 

 the usual single complete series of long bristles present in the other 

 species. 



Group LONGICORNIS 



This group is distinguished by the very long antennae in the males, 

 which extend almost to the level of the epistome, and the presence 

 of short hairs on almost the entire length of the aristae. There are 

 four well developed vertical bristles in both species, and the basal 

 segment of the fore tarsus is slightly but quite noticeably thickened. 

 In longicornis the arista is flattened, strap-like, but not very evi- 

 dently widened. 



EUPROSOPIA LONGICORNIS Bezzi 



Eupi-osopia lonfficornis Bezzi, Philippine Journ. Sci., vol. 12, No. 3, sect. 

 D, May, 1917, p. 154. 

 A small dark species with the wings more distinctly vittate than 

 in most of the Philippine species. The third antennal segment in 

 the male is broader than usual and deep black, and both sexes have 

 yellow scale-like hairs on the abdominal tergites. 

 Locality, Sibuyan Island, P. I. (C. F. Baker). 

 The only other species of the group is Upidophora Bezzi.
