Genus XVI. BRACHIOMYIA, Theobald 



(Mouog. II, p. 343). 



This genus is represented by a single species, and as in the 

 preceding case, the ? alone is known, so that its position is 

 doubtful. 



It much resembles Deinokerides, but the second antennal joint 

 is not quite so disproportionately long. The distinctive character 

 of the genus lies in the first five joints of the antennaj being 

 clothed with scales, and in the fore and mid femora being 

 dilated.
