160 Miss G. Ricardo — A Revision of 



The following species are from Celebes : — 



L. dioctroides, a very small species witla a very nai'row face, bearing a 

 general resemblance to a Leptogaster species ; Dr. Hermann places it 

 m Cenochromyia, bat incorrectly, the fourth posterior cell being 



L. partita appears to be a species of Maira. -y-^T'..^,/^^ ^«,„^ ^.rin.^ , ^£^ 

 Laphria disciplena, from New Guinea, is very probably the same as 

 Laphria doryca, Boisduval, Voyage de ' I'Astrolabe,' Entom. ii. p. 662, 

 pi. xii. fig. 10 [^Dasypofimi] (1835), seen by me in the British Museum. 

 The thorax is covered with brigrht fulvous tomentum; the antennae, 

 face, beard, and legs are the same colour ; on the sides of thorax and 

 breast a brown median stripe appears. Abdomen dull brownish 

 red. Wings brown, with white streaks — one at apex, another be- 

 tween the first and second posterior cells, and smaller ones in the 

 cells. Laphria concludens, Wlk., from Celebes, appears very nearly 

 related, if not identical.

No species are known from Australia itself. Two are 

 recorded from Amboyna and Batjan I. by Dolescball and 

 V. d. Wulp. 



The genus is easily recognized by the presence of three 

 cubital cells.
