j^at. 6 NOTES ON ORIENTAL SAPROMYZID FLIES — MALLOCH 53 



114. Outer cross vein very oblique, forming an almost continuous line witli 

 apical section of fifth vein, and with a small hyaline spot close against 

 each side of it near its inner extremity ; penultimate section of fourth 

 vein a little over as long as ultimate ; abdominal tergites each with 

 several large gray dusted spots on anterior margin, and a series of 

 small similarly colored spots along hind margin; all femora with a nar- 

 row fuscous annulus beyond middle which is incomplete above. 



trypetoptera (Hendel) (=histrio de Meijere). 

 Outer cross vein less oblique, and without a pale spot close against each 

 side near inner extremity ; penultimate section of fourth vein about 

 four-fifths as long as ultimate; all tergites with the large anterior gray- 

 dusted spots, which are rather irregular, but without the small pale 

 hind marginal spots ; all femora darkened basally, fore pair least 

 broadly so picta (de Meijere). 



S15. Face testaceous, with two conspicuous round dark 8ix>ts; thorax testaceous 

 yellow, dorsum with five fuscous vittae, the middle one broad, and ex- 

 tending over scutellum except narrowly on margin ; entire costa dark 

 brown, the dark color extending to middle of submarginal cell and con- 

 necting with the spots on third vein 116. 



Face either testaceous or fuscous, but without a pair of conspicuous 

 round dark spots ; dorsum of thorax without five conspicuous fu.scous 

 vittae 118. 



IIG. Wing with a hyaline spot at apex of third vein on its upper side in addi- 

 tion to the larger one on under side at apex of second vein. 



quinquevittata var. formosana Malloch. 



Wing without a hyaline sixtt at apex of third vein on its upiier side, only 



the large one on under side of apex of second vein present 117. 



117. Pleura with a complete dark vitta aci'oss middle ; the clear spot at apex 



of first posterior cell conspicuous between apices of third and foiirth 

 veins; hypopygium with the process at apex of each lateral arm of basal 



tergite short and conspicuously hooklike quinquevittata (de Meijere). 



Pleura with three dark spots along middle ; the clear mark at apex of 

 first posterior cell reduced to a mere line on margin ; hypopygium with 

 the process of each lateral arm of ba.'^ial tergite straight, rather long, and 

 very slightly clavate at apex pleuripuncta Malloch. 



118. Wing with a dark mark on third vein beyond level of inner cross vein, 



in addition lo the one at ai>ex of the vein 119. 



Wing withoiit a dark mark on third vein beyond inner cross vein in addi- 

 tion to the one at ajjex of the vein 132. 



119. Three dark marks on third vein beyond inner cross vein in addition to the 



one at apex of the vein; arista plumo>se 120. 



Two dark marks on third vein beyond inner cross vein in addition to the 



one at apex of the vein 121. 



One dark mark on third vein beyond inner cross vein in addition to the 



one at apex of {he vein 127. 



120. The spot on second wing vein elongate, covering at lea.st half the length 



of vein beyond apex of first vein, but not extending to tip of vein ; some, 

 or all, of the dark spots on third vein connecting with the dark marks 

 on second and fourth veins; apex of cell between auxiliary and first 

 veins fuscous ; thorax testaceous, dorsum gray dusted, and with four 

 narrow dark brown vittae, the area between the submedian pair gray- 

 ish ; third antennal segment darkened apically ; disk of scutellum dark 

 brown or fuscous; frons longer than wide caloptera (Kertesz).
