ART. 6 NOTES ON ORIENTAL, SAPROMYZID FLIES MALLOCH 25 



tain species of Trypaneoides, but I have seen both these species and 

 they belong to HoTnonewa. 



Sapro7mjza perpunctata Lamb, from the Seychelles Islands is ap- 

 parentl}^ a species of this genus related to octopunctata Malloch. 



TRYPANEOroES MAJOR, new species 



Female. — Black, with dense yellowish gray dust and marked with 

 dark brown. Face with a transverse brown line on upper part, and 

 a biarcuate line of same color near lower margin which connects 

 with a spot on each paraf acial at vibrissal angle ; antennae brownish 

 yellow, darker below; palpi yellow, fuscous at apices; fron,s dark 

 at bases of bristles. Thoracic dorsum and pleura with numerous 

 irregular dark brown marks. Abdomen with rather large pale gray 

 dusted spots on hind margins of tergites, a bristle in each spot 

 except the central one which has a bristle on each ^ide of it. Legs 

 testaceous, femora largely brown basally, hind pair dark brown at 

 extreme tips, hind tibia with a narrow dark brown band near base. 

 Wings dark brown, with numerous hyaline spots, four rather large 

 unequal spots and one or two much less distinct streaks in marginal 

 cell, one spot against costa in apex of submarginal cell, preceded 

 by 4 minute dots, then a large oblong spot the inner extremity of 

 which is almost above outer cross vein, and a smaller spot near 

 base of cell ; first posterior cell with 12 or 13 clear spots, some very 

 small ; 4 or 5 spots in second posterior cell, and about 8 in discal 

 cell, the latter mostly fused in pairs, none of the spots in either 

 cell touching outer cross vein; the apical spot in anal field isolated, 

 the others connected. Knob^ of halteres dark brown. 



Arista verj' short haired; orbitals strong. Thorax as in the other 

 species, but the mesopleura with two discal bristles. Each tergite

The type bears the number 19391, which indicate^ that another 

 specimen was sent to some specialist for identification. 



Genus MINETTIA Robineau-Desvoidy 



There are three segregates of this genus in the material before 

 me. One of these {Mitiettiella, new subgenus) has but one well- 

 developed sternopleural bristle, the arista pubescent or ^hort haired, 

 frons entirely shining, and the face flat. The other two segregates 

 have two sternopleural bristles, the frons largely or entirely dull, 

 the arista longer haired, and most of the species have the face with
