As I shall not illustrate the genus Lomatia, it will be useful to 

 add its characters from Meigen, with a few additions. 



Lomatia Meig. — Curt. Guide, Gen. 1192. — Stygia. Meig. — Anthrax Fab., Panz. 

 Antenna porrected, approximating, triarticulate ; basal joint with the apex 

 dilated, truncated obliquely ; 2nd cup-shaped ; 3rd conical, attenuated 

 like a beak and terminated by a short bristle. 

 Proboscis slender, nearly concealed. 



Head subglobose : eyes reniform : wings divaricating, the submarginal 

 nervure branching off towards the base : abdomen rather long, narrow, 

 and slightly convex, not thickly clothed with pubescence. 



1. L. Belzebul Fab. — Meig. v. 2. p. 139. n. 2. 



Black, shining ; the incisures of the abdominal segments fimbriated with i 

 3^ellow ; belly black. 5 or 6 lines long. Meig. 



2. L. lateralis Meig. 2. 140. 3. — Belzebul Panz. 45. 16. 



Black, shining, slightly pubescent, the hairs on the thorax and base of f 

 abdomen fulvous, the incisures yellow, the sides of the 2nd segment and 1 

 the underside of the body orange : wings with a brown stripe along the ? 

 costa joining an ochreous tint in the centre, the tips transparent : hal- - 

 teres ochreous tipped with yellow : 3 to 3§ lines long. 



The above two species are recorded as British ; the latter I took ; 

 amongst grass in the forest of Fontainebleau, 22nd of July 1830. 



The Plant figured is Anthemis nohilis (Common Chamomile).
