American species by the uniform black-brown color in both sexes 

 and by its possession of three pairs of dorso-central bristles. 



The specimens I have examined are from the following localities: 

 Beverly, Massachusetts (Burgess); Franconia, New Hampshire (JMrs. 

 A. T. Slosson) ; District of Columbia (collection CoquUlett) ; Georgia 

 and North Carolina (no other data); New York (E. B. Southwick); 

 White Mountains, New Hampshire (Morrison); Texas (C. H. T. 

 Townsend); Vieques Island, Porto Rico (A. Busck); and Frontera,

PHOLEOMYIA LEUCOGASTRA Loew. 



Milichm leucogastra Loew, Wien. Ent. Monatsch., vol. 5, 1861, p. 43. 

 Lobioptera leucogastra Loew, Dipt. Amer. Sept. Ind. Cent., 8, species 95. 



This species, which was originally described from Cuba, is repre- 

 sented by two specimens in the U. S. National Museum collection 

 from Georgia (no other data). The male may be easily separated 

 from indecora by the silvery white abdomen, and its larger size 

 (2 mm.) readily separates it from rolertsoni, which is the only other 

 species with pollinose abdomen recorded from this country. I have 

 seen one specimen of this species from Rosser, Texas, August 23, 1905 

 (F. C. Bishopp), and one from Victoria, Texas, April 1, 1907 (J. D. 

 Mitchell).

 Milichia robertsoni Coquillett, Joum. N. Y. Ent. Soc, vol. 10, 1902, p. 187. 

 Represented in U. S. National Museum collection by the type 

 specimen only. Length barely 1.5 mm. Locality : Inverness, Florida 

 (Robertson).

 Rhynchomilichia prcesecta Becker, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., vol. 5, 1907, p. 525. 



I have not seen this species which was described from caves at 

 CacahuamUpa, Mexico. The above synonymy is according toHendel,^ 

 who has examined the type-specimen. 



PHOLEOMYIA PSEUDODECORA Becker. 

 Rynchomilichia pseudodecora Becker, Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., vol. 5, 1907, p. 524. 

 This species was described from specimens of both sexes, one male 

 and three females, taken at Tifton, Georgia. The female lacks the 

 silvery spot on fifth segment of abdomen. I have not seen the 

 species. 



PARAMILICHIA, new genus. 



This genus is erected for the reception of Milichia longiseta Becker,^ 

 which was described from South America. The characters given in
