OPHYRA R.-D. 



There are two species of this genus found in the United States, 

 one of which is confined to the southern and tropical American 

 states; the other, which is represented in the material before me, 

 occurs in Europe and North America, extending its range well 

 into Canada.

Subfamily Lispiixae 

 There is but one genus in this subfamily, which may be sep- 

 arated from any other b}^ the presence of a clump of hairs on 

 center of pteropleura, the dilated palpi, widely separated eyes 

 and hairy parafacials in both sex(>s, very large lower calypter, 

 incomplete sixth vein, the absence of the prealar bristle, and lack 

 of hairs on under surface of scutellum. 



Lispa tentaculata DeGeer 



1776. Musca tentaculata DeGeer, Ins. vi, 86. 



There are five specimens of this widely distributed species in 

 collection.

 fornia, ]March 29, 1908; one male, one female, Alamogordo, New 

 Me.xico, May 1, 1902; two females, same locality, May 5, 1902. 



Subfamily Faxxiixae 

 Fannia is the only genus of this subfamily represented in this 

 collection. I have a key for the identification of the species of 

 this genus in manuscript and I hope to publish it shortly, includ- 

 ing all species in this and other papers by the writer, and those 

 described or recorded by Stein.
