obscura Coquillett. 



ANTINEURA new genus. 



Related to Agroinyza, but the discal cell is open outwardly. Four 

 f ronto-orbitals, the lower three convergent ; cheeks receding, about 

 one third as deep as the eye-height; proboscis short and fleshy; arista 

 bare, a little more than twice the length of the third antennal joint, 

 its basal segment thickened. Mesonotum pollinose or shining; one 

 anterior and three posterior dorsocentrals, two rows of sparse acros- 

 tichals; four scutellars ; one sternopleural ; two mesopleurals. Costa 

 continuing to the fourth vein, broken only at the end of the first vein ; 

 the auxiliary vein rudimentary, confluent with the first vein along 

 the middle of its course; second, third and fourth veins equally strong, 

 parallel, located in the anterior part of the wing, the fourth vein 

 ending before the wing tip; posterior crossvein entirely wanting, the 

 anterior crossvein before the costal break ; the vein between the first 

 and second basal cells weak; only the base of the anal vein evident; 

 the fifth vein gently curved, diverging from the fourth and ending at 

 the middle of the hind margin of the wing, gradually evanescent, but 

 its base as strong as the other longitudinal v?ins.
