17. Ceplienomyia Latr. 



Oestrid-like species of medium or somewhat large size, densely 

 pilose with the pile more or less variegated in colour. Head a little 

 broader than thorax, convex behind, considerably higher than long; 

 it is low, much broader than high (in our species). Frons in male 

 broad and still broader in female, somewhat protruding. Cheeks 

 rather broad; jowls broad but horizontal, slightly descending. No 

 bristles present. Occiput yellow-haired, but with a row of weak, 

 black postocular bristles. Cheeks with erect hairs. Vibrissal ridges 

 sharp above, downwards widening out to a broad part the inner 

 margin of which is converging below the antennal fovea and then 

 bending down to the mouth edge, so that the middle part of epi- 

 stoma is narrow, but the whole epistoma between the arms of the 

 frontal suture broad, below more or less confluent with the inter- 

 mediate triangles and jowls. Above on epistoma lies the circular, 

 deep antennal fovea, divided by a slight middle carina. No vibrissæ 

 though the hairs on the ridges a little strong. Mouth parts rudimentary, 

 but a small proboscis and club-like palpi present. Antennæ inserted 

 at the middle of the eye, short, third joint lenticular; arista bare. 

 Thorax quadratic or somewhat roundish; no bristles also no sterno- 

 pleurals. Hypopleura with a row of shghtly bristly hairs. Abdomen 

 ovate, without bristles; fifth sternite in male slightly incurved in
