ART. 6 NOTES ON ORIENTAL. SAPROMYZID FLIES MALLOCH 15 



STEGANOPSIS MULTILINEATA de Meijere 



Steganopsis multilineata de Meijebe, Tijdschr. v. Ent., vol. 67, 1924, p. 53. 



I have examined the type specimen of this species sent to me by 

 Doctor de Meijere and consider undecimMneata Frey is synonymous 

 with it. 



Frey described his species from'Banahao, Luzon, and Kolambugan, 

 Leite. 



This species and pupicola occur also in Ceyjlon (W. Horn). 



Genus LYPEROMYIA Frey 



This genus is unknown to me. It is closely allied to Steganopsis, 

 being distinguished mainly by the presence of four equally strong 

 pairs of dorsocentral bristles, one sternopleural, shorter second wing 

 vein, and narrower frontal triangle. 



Genotype. — Lyperonrnjia calopus Frey. 



LYPEROMYIA CALOPUS Frey 



Lyperomyia calopus FBEnr, Acta Soc. pro Fauna et Flora Fennica, vol. 56, 

 No. 8, p. 15, 1927. 



A black species, with gray-dusted spot on each orbit near antennae, 

 yellow third antennal segment, and black fore legs, the latter with 

 coxae, and a broad ring at middle of femora, yellow, apical third of 

 tibia white, mid and hind legs yellow, coxae entirely, mid femora 

 with exception of apices, hind femora entirely, and apices of tarsi, 

 black. Wings yellow, bases brown, veins somewhat broY^nish clouded. 



Described from Mount Polis, Luzon. 



Genus XANGELINA Walker 



This genus has a peculiarly shaj^ed head (Figs. 13 and 14), the 

 frons being very steep, the face broad and evenly, though slightly, 

 convex and glossy, and the divisions below the eye exceptionally 

 distinct. The anterior orbitals in hasiguttata are almost indistin- 

 guishable microscopic hairs, and are incurved, while the ocellars are 

 lacking. The thorax has four pairs of dorsocentral bristles and 

 acrostichals, the anterior pair of each being in front of the suture; 

 there are two distinct sternopleurals ; and the wing is as in Sapro- 

 myza Fallen. There is no antero ventral comb on the fore femur, 

 and all the tibiae have the preapical dorsal bristle distinct, the one 

 on hind pair being long and fine. 



XANGELINA BASIGUTTATA Walker 



Xangelma hasiguttata Walkee, Proc. Linn. Soc. London, vol. 1, p. 32, 1857. 



A shining testaceous yellow species, with two black spots on apex 

 of scutellum, and a black mark at apex of auxiliary vein of wing; 

 inner cross vein of wing faintly clouded. 



Length, 4.5 mm.
