ART. 6 NOTES ON ORIENTAL SAPROMYZID FLIES MALLOCH 17 



vein straight; fourth very conspicuously curved down from near 

 middle of its apical section, the first posterior cell fully twice as wide 

 at apex as at outer cross vein ; costa as in Saproiiiyza. 



Length, 5 mm. 



Type— C^t. No. 41075, U.S.N.M. Mount Maquiling, Luzon (C. F. 

 Baker). 



The head in this genus is very similar to that of Xangelhia Walker, 

 but in the latter the frons is not so sharp, nor is it bieniarginate, and 

 the upper orbital is long and strong, while the stigmatal region is 

 also normal, with a strong bristle, and the fourth vein is but slightly 

 divergent from third apically. 



Genus AMPHICYPHUS de Meijere 



This monobasic genus is readily distinguished from any other in 

 the subfamily by the presence of an unequal pair of strong curved 

 black spurs at apex of hind tibia on its anteroventral side, the 

 longest of which is fully half as long as the basal segment of hind 

 tarsus. The hairs on the entire insect including those on the legs 

 are very long and almost bristle-like, the third antennal segment 

 tapers to the apex, the arista is short haired, the anterior orbital 

 bristles are incurved, the scutellum is slightly tumid at bases of the 

 apical bristles, 'and the costa has only fine hairs, no short black setu- 

 lae being evident. 



AMPHICYPHUS RETICULATUS (Doleschal) 



Ensina reticulatiis Doleschal, Natur. Tijdscbr v. Nederl. Indie., p. 412, 

 1856. 



Locality, Mount Maquiling, Luzon (C. F. Baker). 



This species has been recorded from the Dutch East Indies and 

 Australia, but this is the first record of its occurrence in the Philip- 

 pines. 



EUPROSOPOMYIA, new genus 



Generic characters. — Head in profile as in Figure 15, the face 

 shining, and with a subconical production, below the level of which 

 there is a transverse impression. The frons is similar to that of 

 Prosoponiyia Loew, having both the pairs of orbitals bent back- 

 ward, and the surface with rather dense short hairs. In the type 

 the ocellars are bent backward, but this may be due to injury. From 

 Prosoyomyia., to which genus it runs in Hendel's recent ke}^, the 

 genus may be distinguished by the presence of several strong bristles 

 close to the lower hind margin of each eye. These bristles are not 

 on a callosity, which is the case in AustraUfia Malloch, and the 

 latter genus has the frons more than twice as long as wide and
