genus." The transverse impression, connecting across the dorsum the 

 thoracic sutures on each side, in the typical St^uopterinae , is hardly 

 apparent here; the third antenna! joint is comparatively shorter. The 

 chaetotaxy is the same, only the occipito- orbital bristle, apparent in 

 St. eques does not exist here; praescutellar bristles exceedingly weak. 

 The vertical diameter of the head is longer, the front being higher, 

 than in St, eques. The large spine-like processes on the hind trochan- 

 ters of the male are a peculiar feature; they are not found in the fe- 

 male, — A dozen specimens. 



Stenopterina chalyhea (Syn, Herina clialyhea Dolesch. 

 3''" Bijdr. 53, Amboina). Conf. 0. S. Enumer. 78. The abdomen has 

 broad purple bands at the base of the segments, which two specimens 

 from Ternate, also in my collection, have not; a third one howewer 

 has them. The color of legs and palpi is variable between reddish 

 and brown. — Three specimens. 



Stenopterina aenea (Syn, Dacus aeneus Wied. A. Z. II, 

 513, Java). The wings agree, but much less the body. I have no 

 authentic S. aenea at hand for comparison. Front dark ferruginous; 

 front coxae and femora rufous, the latter especially on the front side; 

 arista short-pubescent at base; thoracic dorsum brownish pollinose; the 

 deep thoracic furrows on each side are free from this pollen and there- 

 fore very conspicuous. The abdomen more slender than in S. eques; 

 on each side of the first abdominal segment three erect bristles (do 

 they exist in S. eques? I do not perceive tham in my specimens); the 

 color of the abdomen is a shining metallic green; more opaque in the 

 5 , the 5^^ segment of which is again more shining.

Will be easily recognized by the unusual position of the anterior 

 crossvein, which is in one line with the posterior one, and by the 

 structure of the antennae, which resemble those of Loococera, The 

 auxiliary vein is almost coalescent with the first vein, and, in this 

 repect, Antineura differs from the majority of Ortalidae. 



Head as broad, or a little broader, than the thorax; the profile 

 projects considerably in front of the eyes; lower occipital orbits turgid; 

 upper part of the occiput flat and smooth, forming a sharp edge with 

 the vertex. 



Face but little retreating, straight, rather long (the base of the 

 antennae occupies about the middle of the profile of the head). Viewed
