The five species of Diptera here described were reared by economic 

 entomologists while searching in the Orient for parasites of injurious 

 beetles, with a view to the introduction of such parasites into the 

 United States and Hawaiian Islands. 



Family PYRGOTIDAE 



Genus CAMPYLOCERA Macquart 



Caminjlocera Macquart, Dipt. Exot., vol. 2, pt. 3, 1843, p. 220. 



CAMPYLOCERA HIRSUTA, new species 



In Hendel's key to the species of this genus ^ the present species 

 would run to thoracalis^ which however has shining black stripes on 

 the dorsum of the thorax. 



Female. — Head entirely brownish yellow, front opaque, near vertex 

 0.37 of head width. The eyes approximate each other more closely at 

 the middle of the face, where the intervening space is 0.34 of head 

 width. Parafacial shining, about half the width of the third antennal 

 joint ; antennal grooves translucent ; from the inner edge of the facial 

 ridges a flat opaque slender depressed area extends down around the 

 lower curve of the eye, occupying the greater part of the width of 

 the cheek. Antennae yellow, first joint short, second and third of 

 equal length on upper edge, the third about twice as long as wide. 

 Arista slender, yellow at base; palpi pale yellow, broad. Thorax 

 wholly yellow, shining, with rather dense erect dark hair above, which 

 is paler in some lights. The bristles of the middle of the dorsum and 

 the humeri are not distinguishable from the hairs. There are two 

 distinct notopleural, one supraalar, two postalar, and a single pair of 

 dorsocentral bristles just before the scutellum. The latter has four 

 good-sized marginal bristles and some slender long hairs.
