115. Klugia R. D. 



Species of medium size and of black coloiir, a little pale pruinose. 

 Again this genus is nearly related to and mamly conform with the 

 two preceding. Head as in the other two, frons a little more protruding; 

 jowls at least half the height of the eye. The bristles outwards to the 

 frontals forming a continuous row from above down to near the 

 lower corner of the eye, two upper of them strong orbitals, and behind 

 them one directed outwards. Cheeks besides the bristles with some 

 few fine hairs. Jowls bare with only hindmarginal bristles. Vibrissæ 

 not ascending. Eyes bare. Epistoma somewhat retreating. Antennæ 

 inserted at the middle of the eye, somewhat short, third joint only 

 a little longer than second; arista with second joint not elongated. 

 Thorax as in the other genera; two præsutural acrostichals; scutellum 

 with four marginal bristles on each side, the subapical the smaller. 

 Pteropleura with a bunch of hairs above. Abdomen elongated, cylin- 

 drical, not much attenuated behind; excavation on second segment 

 not reaching hind margin; there are discai and marginal bristles, 

 second segment with a pair of marginal. Legs with anterodorsal 

 bristles on hind tibiæ few in niimber, strong and unequal; claws and 

 pulviUi in male not elongated. Wings with first posterior cell open, 

 ending a little before apex of wing; discai angle without or practically 

 without veinlet; posterior cross- vein moderately oblique; only 

 cubital vein with bristles, stretching beyond medial cross-vein; a 

 strong costal s pine. 



Only one European 'species, also occurring in Denmark.
