44 FAUNA HAWAIIENSIS 



Fam. ORTALIDAE. 



AcROSTicTA Loew. 



(i) Acrostic t a pallipes, sp. nov. 



i ?. Long. Corp. 3 — 1\ mm. ; al. 3 — 3^ mm. Very like A. scrobiculata Lw., but 

 differs as follows : legs pitchy-brown, anterior coxae and femora entirely yellow, the 

 former somewhat metallic at the base, intermediate femora towards the tip and tibiae 

 more or less vellow, intermediate and hind metatarsi yellow. Wines with the first and 

 basal half of the second costal cell fuscous, apical half of the second clear, third dark ; 

 posterior transverse vein more outwardly inclined, and parallel with the inner one. 



Hab. Hawaii, one male, Olaa, November 1896; one female, Kauai, 4000 ft., 

 October 1895. 



Only three other species of this genus are known, viz. A. scrobiculata Lw., from 

 Mexico and Brazil ; A. foveolata Lw., from Brazil ; and A. dichroa Lw., from California 

 (San Francisco).

 Monog. Dipt. N. Amer. Pt. iii. p. 162, tab. ix. f. 13 (1873). 



Hab. Oahu, a male from Waialua, coast, February 1893 : Hawaii, a female from 

 Kona, 1500 ft., September 1892. These specimens agree so well with Loew's 

 description and figure that I hesitate to regard them as distinct. The species has 

 been hitherto recorded from South America and the West Indies. 



Fam. TRYPETIDAE. 



Dacus Meigen. 



Although the following species is not in the collection formed by Mr Perkins, yet, 

 in order to render the present contribution more complete, I have thought it advisable 

 to reproduce the original description.
