60 NEGRITOMYIA EILINEATA. 



This species seems to be very common in Java , as it is 

 represented in almost every collection from that island. 



6. Stratiomyia japonica, n. sp. 



Nigra; scutello, praeter spinas Jlavas , cojicolore ; facie pilis 

 lutescentihus vestita; fronte {in 9) macuHs duabiis luteis 

 nitidis ; maculis lateralibus segmenti ahdominalis secundi , strigis 

 transversis lateralibus segmentorum sequentium duorum et 

 macula subtrigona segmenti quinti Jlavis ; ventre nigro , seg- 

 mentis singulis postice jiavo-marginatis ; tibiarum dimidio basali 

 tarsisque Jlavis; alis infuscatis. — cf,9. Long. 16 — 17 mm. 



Black. Face densely covered with yellowish hairs; eyes 

 of the cf connected at the top; front of the Q above 

 the antennae with two shining yellow , round spots. Antennae 

 black ; first joint elongate ; second very short , hardly one 

 sixth of the length of the first; third joint longer and broader 

 than the two former. Thorax with a dense but not very 

 long , greyish-yellow pilosity ; spines of the scutellum yellow. 

 Abdomen a little broader and longer than the thorax , with 

 the usual yellow markings, consisting of two rather large, 

 trigonal lateral spots on the second segment, a pair of 

 lateral stripes on the hind margin of the third and fourth , 

 and an elongate longitudinal spot on the fifth segment ; venter 

 black with the hind border of the segments yellow, that 

 of the second segment the broadest. Legs black; the basal 

 half of the tibiae and the whole tarsi yellow. Halteres yel- 

 low. Wings brownish, darker towards the anterior margin. 



Both sexes from Japan (von Siebold). 



1 should be inclined to regard this species as Sir. apicalis 

 Walk. (List Dipt. Brit. Mus. V. 53. 105), if Walker, who 

 describes only the Q, had mentioned the two yellow spots 

 on the front, and if his description of the legs did not 

 disagree with the specimens before me.
