46 INSECUTOR INSCITI/E MENSTRUUS 



Gabanimjria hystricosa, new species. 



Length of body, 9 mm. ; of wing, 9.5 mm. One female, Rio Cha- 

 rape, valley of Rio Tabaconas in western Jaen, about 4,500 feet, Sep- 

 tember 15, 1 9 1 1 , on foliage. 



Differs from G. polita as follows : Second aristal joint well elongated, 

 nearly four times as long as wide ; the first aristal joint very distinct and 

 rather longer than wide. Third antennal joint of female rather less than 

 twice the length of second joint. Fourth vein with stump at origin of 

 apical crossvein. Third abdominal segment with discal row of macro- 

 chaetae extending across segment. Pile of abdomen and scutellum devel- 

 oped into long bristles, that of scutellum looking like very long erect setae 

 or weak slender spines ; that of abdomen especially strong on base and 

 sides, giving the abdomen a much bristled appearance. Abdomen broad- 

 oval. Ventral plates with strong bristles. The coloration is in all 

 respects so similar to that of G. polita as to conform perfectly with the 

 description of that species. 



Eublepharipeza, new genus. 



Facies of Blepharipeza, which it greatly resembles in the densely spi- 

 nose abdomen and scutellum ; and of Gabanimyia, which it surpasses in 

 the small head and swollen abdomen. In Brauer and Von Bergen- 

 stanun's tables it runs to Jurinia, Jurinella, and Pseitdohystricia. The 

 head is relatively smaller and narrower than in any other muscoid form 

 known to me ; the hind tibiae are not ciliate ; the epistoma is only very 

 weakly salient ; the anterior tarsi of female are more or less distinctly 

 dilated ; parafacials narrow, pilose ; third antennal joint straight on front 

 border, that of female sometimes appearing subconvex apically owing to 

 a more rounded tip. Third antennal joint about twice as long as second 

 in both sexes, second joint elongate ; second aristal joint short. A pair 

 of proclinate ocellar bristles. Female with two proclinate orbital bristles, 

 male with none. Female front narrow, at vertex hardly two-thirds of 

 eye-width ; that of male at vertex little more than one-third eye-width. 

 Eyes thickly but not densely pilose. Inner vertical bristles decussate. 

 Palpi elongate and subcylindrical, slightly curved, swollen beyond middle ; 

 proboscis fleshy and stout, short, not equalling head-height. Cheeks of 

 female about one-fourth of eye-height, those of male one-third of eye- 

 height ; furnished in both sexes with one to three bucco-orbital bristles 

 running obliquely down to peristomalia.
