D. {Did'anota) notmani sp. no v. 



1929. Dkranota currani Alexander: Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc, 24:23 

 (erroneous record). 



Very closely allied and generally similar to currani^ ditiering es- 

 pecially in the elongate antennae of male, which, if bent backward, 

 would reach about to base of second abdonunal segment; flagellar 

 segments long-oval, slightly produced on ventral face: terminal seg- 

 ment much reduced in size. ^ledian praescutal stripe nearly entire, 

 vaguely divided on more than anterior half by a pale vitta. Male 

 hypopygium about intermediate in structure between that of currani 

 and divaricata, the caudo-lateral angles of phallosome being more slen- 

 der than in former but stouter than in latter. Interbase pointed at 

 tip, as in currani.

Subgenus Amalopina Brunetti 



1912. Amalophta Brunetti; Fauna Brit. India, Dipt. Xematocera, 



p. 517. 

 1916. Rhaphidolabina Alexander; Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 



1916:540-541. 



The subgenus includes a single species in the New World, wnth a 

 few others in Eastern Asia. The choice of the name Amalopina by 

 Brunetti was unfortunate, since it is the exact form earlier used for 

 the entire section or tribe by Osten Sacken and others. The antennae 

 are 15-segmented, with relatively long verticils; the wings have cell 

 Rz long-petiolate and vein R'2 slightly oblique in position. The adults 

 of our local fly are common along shaded streams and in wet marshy 

 places in woods. The larvae live in wet earth.
