Aphiochaeta gregalis de Meijere. PI. XIII, fig. 5. 



Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, 2nd Ser., Suppl. Ill, p. 931 (1910). 



From a specimen of this species determined by de Meijere, I am 

 able to add the following characters to the original description : 



The median pair of lowest reclinate frontal bristles equidistant 

 from the median line and the eye-margin and inserted scarcely above 

 the two proclinate ones; the lateral ones of this row small, inserted 

 near the eye margin and a considerable distance above the median 

 ones. Propleura with a number of bristles, longer at the insertion 

 of the coxa ; mesopleura above with numerous very fine, delicate 

 bristles, but no large ones. None of the abdominal segments elon- 

 gated, second. with a few bristles at each side; sixth apically and the 

 seventh with a number of fine black bristles. Legs very long (fig. 

 5). 

 Phalacrotophora jacobsoni new species. 



Male. — Length 3.5 mm. Black ; legs beyond the femora brownish-yellow, 

 femora piceous except at base and apex ; antennae orange-yellow, palpi pale 

 yellow ; scutellum brown along posterior margin ; hypopygial lamella pale 

 yellow ; halteres yellowish white ; wings subhyaline, slightly infuscated toward 

 apex. Front twice as high as wide, produced anteriorly into a rounded lobe ; 

 surface shining, impunctate ; only two proclinate bristles, placed close to- 

 gether and well-developed, but much shorter than the two reclinate bristles 

 of the next row above which are placed above the lower margin twice as far from 

 the median line as from the eye-margin ; next row consisting of only two 

 medium-sized bristles next the eye-margin at the middle of the front ; row 

 above of four equidistant medium-sized bristles which form a line that is 

 slightly, but distinctly bowed upward medially ; ocellar row of four bristles ; 

 ocelli large, in a low triangle. Vertex raised, carinate on its margin for 

 some distance along the outer orbits, but not set off from the front by a dis- 

 tinct groove. Eyes large, strongly pubescent, their inner margins parallel. 

 Antennje small, with a dorsal, faintly pubescent arista as long as the head- 

 height. Postocular cilia much lengthened just above the middle of the eye, 

 but smaller again above where they follow the eye-margin inside the raised 

 vertex. Mesonotum elongate, almost twice as long as wide, thickly hairy, but 

 shining ; with three long bristles along the lateral margin before the wing, one 

 just behind the root of the wing followed by two very long ones before the 

 hind angle ; posterior margin with eight slender bristles overlying the scutel- 

 lum ; no distinct dorsocentral bristles. Scutellum twice as broad as long, with 

 two strong marginal bristles near each lateral angle. Abdomen bare and shin- 

 ing above, with short, bristly hairs along the lateral margin ; none of the seg- 

 ments noticeably elongated ; hypopygial lamella with two upcurved bristles at 

 apex. Pleurae smooth, without bristles except for two small ones above the
