Eriocera muiri, sp. n. 
General coloration black; wings brown, cells C and Se yellow; a very 
broad yellow erossband before the cord; abdomen black, the basal halves 
of the tergites scoriaceous. 
Male. Length, 14 mm.; wing, 14.5 mm. 
Rostrum and palpi dark brown. Antennae dark brown, the terminal 
flagellar segments broken, the basal flagellar segments a little paler than 
the scape. Head dark brown. 
Mesonotum dark brown, with three almost concolorous smooth stripes; 
scutellum and postnotum shiny dark brown, the scutellum projecting. 
Pleura shiny dark brown. Halteres rather short, dark brown, paler basally. 
Legs dark brown. Wings brown; cells C and Se yellow; wing-apex broadly 
darker brown; a very broad yellow crossband, lying almost wholly proxi- 
mad of the cord; veins dark brown, those in the yellowish areas paler. 
Venation: 7 on R2 about one and one-third times its length beyond the 
fork of Rs; cell M1 present; vein second A sinuous, cell second A at 
wing-margin a little narrower than cell Cu; cell second A large. 
Abdominal tergites bicolorous, the base of each segment scoriaceous, 
liliaceous brown, the apical half velvety black; hypopygium dark; sternites 
more uniformly brown. 
Hab.—China. 
Holotype, male, Macao (F. Muir). 
Type in the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Experiment Station. 
This interesting Eriocera is named in honor of the collector, 
Mr. Frederick Muir. By Edwards’ Key, this species runs out 
at couplet seventy-one by the combination of scoriaceous cross- 
bands on the abdominal tergites and the presence of five pos- 
terior cells. 
Eriocera obliqua, sp. n. 
Female. Length, 15-16 mm.; wing, 14-14.5 mm. 
Allied to £. nepalensis (Westwood), from which it differs as follows: 
Wings with the base not at all brightened; the white band before the 
cord broadest in cells R and M, narrowed at the ends. Venation: r very 
oblique as in this group of species, inserted at or before the fork of R2+3, 
Ovipositor with the base black, only the valves dark horn-colored. 
Hab.—China. 
Holotype, female, Macao (F. Muir). 
Paratopotypes, two females. 
Type in the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Experiment Station. 
The general appearance of this fly is more like E. hilpa
