EUPHOROC ERA n. gen. 



Belongs in Phoroceratinse. Very similar to Tachlnomi/i(i, in form 

 and coloration. Differs from that genus as follows: Eyes hairy, 

 facial ridges with bristles nearly to base of third antennal joint; 

 arista thickened about half its length ; first abdominal segment 

 shortened; anal segment with marginal and discal macrochjetse ; 

 fourth vein with a well-defined wrinkle at the bend ; scutellum with 

 only three i)airs of lateral macrochjetje. Type, E. tachinomoldes n. sp. 



This genus diflTers from Phorocera in the peculiar elongate-conical 

 form of the abdomen, the exposed hypopygium of the male, and by 

 the vibrissse being inserted at a considerable distance above the oral 

 margin ; the second antennal joint also is usually elongated.

 very with a brMSsy tinge, frontal vitta dark brown, occupying about one-fourth

 tles directed backward, the rest 7nore or less forward, decussate; sides of front 

 covered with short hairs, sides of face and cheeks silvery, the latter clothed with 

 fine black hairs; antennfe blackish, first two joints and extreme base of third

 and discal macrochsetae ; venter blackish, reddish on sides, somewhat silvery. 

 Legs black, front femora silvery on the outside, tibise more or less silvery, fur- 

 nished with spiny bristles, especially the middle hind hairs, pulvilli yellowish 

 white. Wings grayish hyaline, somewhat tawny at base, tegulfe nearly white,
