In the Diptera of the " Eugenies Resa " (1868) Thomson describes a species of 

 this genus, to which he at the same time refers (as a variety) a form from Honolulu. 

 The original description is reproduced below.

Two specimens belonging to this genus, and possibly of one species, were taken 

 respectively at Halepaakai, Lanai (3000 ft.), in July 1894, and on the Mts. of 

 Molokai (4500 ft.) in September 1893. They are both females in poor condition 

 and therefore cannot be described with advantage.
