specimen from Bengal ; Macquart mentions Asia as origin. 



9. Odontomyia mutica , n. sp. 



Nigra ; thorace pilis fiavis vestito ; scutello niutico ; ahdomine 

 lateribus et suhtus Jlavo ; antennis rujis ; pedihus flavis , femo-

Face shining black (I find traces of white hairs) ; antennae 

 dark rufous. Thorax black , densely covered with yellowish 

 hairs; scutellum black, destitute of the usual spines. Ab- 

 domen yellow , on the upper surface with a broad black band , 

 which at each segmentation is drawn out on both sides 

 in a point; or in other words: abdomen black, with large, 

 yellow, lateral spots, which occupy the whole length of 

 the segments and slightly narrow towards the middle ; 

 these spots are broader on the three basal segments; the 

 last segment and the whole undersurface yellow. Legs yellow 

 with black femora. Hal teres yellow, the stem dark brown. 

 Wings with a brownish-yellow tinge , dark brown at the base. 



A (J from Ternate (Bernstein). 



Except the absence of the spines on the scutellum , the 

 species shows all the characteristics of the genus Odonto- 

 myia , in the same manner as the North American 0. ni- 

 grirostris Low.

Fulvo-rufescens ; antennis, pedihus halterihusque concolo-

 duobus hasalibus fuscescentibus ; alis jiavescentibus , dimidio 

 apicaii infuscafo. — cf. Long. 15—16 mm. 



Closely related to Ft. rufescens v. d. Wulp (Tijdschr. v. 

 Ent. XL 104. 7. pi. 3 f. 7 — 9), but difeering from that 

 species by its rufous (not black) vertex , reddish-yellow (not 

 black) hind femora and the brown apex of its wings. 



Obscenely fulvous. Hind part of the vertex rather broad , 

 narrowed in a point towards the front, which is almost
