ABT. 6 NOTES ON ORIENTAL SAPROMYZID FLIES MALLOCH 67 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) COFFEATA (de Meijere) 

 Lauxania coffeata de Mbhjere, Tijdschr. v. Ent., vol. 57. p. 228, 1914. 



I have taken the characters of this species from the type specimen, 

 which was submitted to me by Doctor de Meijere with examples 

 of the other three species. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) NUDISETA (Kcrtesz) 

 Lauxarnia nudisefa Kertesz, Termeszetrajzi Fuzetek. vol. 23, p. 263, 1900. 



The Javanese specimen before me agrees perfectly with Kertesz's 

 description. 



Originally described from Singapore. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) HAWAIIENSIS Mal'och 



The description of this species appeared in the Proceedings of the 

 Hawaiian Entomological Society (vol. 6, No. 3. October, 1927, p. 

 383). The hypopygium is shown in Figure 51. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) CRASSICAUDA Malloch 



Homoneura (Homoneura) crassicauda Malloch, Ent. Mitt., vol. 16, p. 171, 

 1927. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) NUDIFRONS (Kertesz) 



Lauxania nudifrons Kertesz, Ann. Nat. Mus. Hungary, vol. 11, p. 99, 1913. 



The first of these two species was described in the paper referred 

 to above, and it was therein compared with nudifrons. The hypopy- 

 gium of nudifrons is shown in Figure 53, and of crassicauda in 

 Figure 54. 



Habitat. — Of both species, Formosa. I have seen females from 

 Ceylon which I refer to crassicauda tentatively. 



HOMONEURA (HOMONEURA) CURTA, new species 



Male and Female. — Entirely testaceous yellow, f rons opaque except 

 on the narrow ill-defined orbits, thorax and abdomen slightly shining. 

 Wings yellowish hyaline. Frons about 1.5 as long as wide, both pairs 

 of orbitals strong, surface hairs very sparse, ocellars fine and almost 

 hair-like, not as long as postverticals, the latter shorter than anterior 

 orbitals, inner pair of verticals longer than outer pair ; antennae nor- 

 mal; arista distinctly pubescent; cheek not as high as width of third 

 antennal segment. Thorax with the usual 3 pairs of postsutural 

 dorsocentraJs, the intradorsocentral hairs in 6-9 irregular series, and 

 at least one pair of well developed postsutural acrostichals besides 

 the prescutellar pair; scutellum slightly flattened above; anterior 

 sternopleural rather weak. Abdomen of male stout, rather short,
