AMERICAN DIPTERA. 283 



Loew was right in regarding this species not the female of 

 montanus, for I have seen males and females of the latter 

 from British Columbia, Canada. The females described by 

 Osten Sacken as montanus agree with the B. C. females. The 

 white pile of the thoracic dorsum is most prominent upon the 

 posterior callosities and immediately before the scutellum, 

 and is best seen from in front and a little to one side.
