fused, the latter with a stem one-third the length of the subcylindric basal en- 

 largement, which latter is slightly constricted near the middle and bears two 

 whorls of unusually high circumfili. These latter form distinct, though ir- 

 regular loops and in the case of the distal filum, the loops extend almost to 

 the tip of the segment. Palpi : the first segment irregularly quadrate, the 

 second with a length a little over twice its diameter, the third one-half longer 

 than the second, more slender. Mesonotum dark reddish brown. Scutellum 

 and postscutellum white, the abdomen yellowish orange, the segments narrowly 

 margined posteriorly with rather indistinct fuscous bands. Halteres whitish 

 transparent. Legs pale straw ; claws stout, strongly curved, simple, the pul- 

 villi rudimentary. Ovipositor short, the terminal lobes narrowly oval and 

 thickly setose.

Some time ago I received through the courtesy of Professor J. C. 

 H. de Meijere a collection of Javanese Phoridse belonging to the 

 Amsterdam Museum. These were collected mainly by Mr. E. Jacob-

A number of new species are included in the lot which are de- 

 scribed in the present paper. 



Dohrniphora egregia Brues. 



Ann. Mus. Nat. Hungarici, vol. 9, p. 534 (1911). 



Of this species originally described from Formosa, there is a 

 single specimen from Nongkodjadjar, Java, January (Jacobson). 



Hypocera flavidula new species. 



Male. — Length 2 m. Light yellowish brown ; front piceous ; abdominal 

 segments three to six black, the sides of the first and second darkened; wings 

 distinctly infuscated, especially near the anterior border. Front small, scarcely 

 wider than the eye when seen from above, nearly quadrate ; bristles not very 

 strong; post-antennal pair close together, at the extreme anterior margin of 

 the front; next row above of four bristles forming a line that is strongly
