LoMATiN^ : Anisotamia, Comptosia, Ligyra, Lomatia, Macrocondyla, Scinax, 

 Tritotieura, and the rather abberrant Cyrtophorns (thorax humped, Toxo- 

 phorinarum 1), Aphaehantus and Epacmus (antennae widely separated). 



ToxoPHORlN^ : Amictus (inch Thlip)srjmyza), Cyllenia, Eclimus, Lepidophcn^a, 

 Thevenetimyia, Tomomyza {Stoniylmnyia Bigot),* and Toxophora. 



Systropin^e : Systropus. 



Anthracin^ : Anthrax, Argyramoeba, Astrophanes, Dipalta, Exoprosopa, Ilypera- 

 lonia, Liiorrhynclms, Spcmgostylmn, and the rather aberrant Mulio (incl. 

 ChalcncMtun), CaUistoma, and Ilenlca {Lagochilux) which have the di.scal 

 cross-vein at a considerable distance from the end of the long prsefurca. 



I have not had time to study tlie character indicated by Bezzi 

 in the indented hindmargin of the eyes, but the following notes and 

 possible affinities may be worthy of attention : 



Toxophora may show affinity to Systropus in the long basal joint of the antennge 



and the sloping scutellum. 

 EcUmus may be near Toxophora or Systropus or Codiontis. 

 Prorachthes may be near CyUenia or Eclimns. 

 CyUenia and Amictus appear to be near Toxop>hora. 

 Legnotomyia connects Bomhylins with Usia,. 

 Platypyygus may be allied to Usia. 

 Henica may connect CyUenia with Anthrax. 

 Tomomyza has an Anthrax-\\k% appearance. 



Apihcehantus and EpMicmus connect the Lomatince with the Anthracince. 

 The incomplete ambient vein in Phthiria, Geron, and Toxophora may afford some 



clue to affinities. 

 Amict-us auripilus Bigot is an Eclimus.
