below the base of the antennae, the second a little above the oral border ; this latter 

 band is placed in a furrow, and is often interrupted in the middle ; dark subocular 

 spot distinct ; palpi pale yellowish ; antennae entirely reddish yellow. Cephalic 

 bristles black ; only two pairs of lower fronto-orbitals present. Thorax entirely 

 black, even on the pleura and breast, but clothed on the back with gre^-ish pubescence ; 

 it bears the following bright yellow, very striking markings : — humeral calli, a streak 

 on each side behind the suture, a broad mesopleural stripe united above with a very 

 small sutural callus and below with a broad sternopleural spot, and two contiguous 

 hypopleural spots. Scutellum entirely yellow ; mesophragma entirely black. All 

 the macrochaetae black ; anterior supra-alar well developed ; basal scutellar only 

 a little weaker than the apical ones. Halteres whitish yellow. Abdomen rounded, 

 punctulate, with short grey pubescence ; third segment in the male with well 

 developed black cilia ; first segment with a narrow yellow hind border ; second 

 yelloAV, with a black basal band, which sometimes does not reach the sides ; third 

 and fourth entirely black ; fifth yellow, with more or less distinct basal and middle 

 longitudinal bands ; ovipositor yellow, flattened, if exserted as long as the two last 

 abdominal segments together ; male genitalia brown ; venter yellow, more or less 

 darkened. Legs yello^^^sh, with white hind praetarsi ; coxae yellow ; the four posterior 

 femora ^ith the tips dark brown ; hind tibiae of male tuberculate, darkened at both 

 ends or wholly blackish ; last tarsal joints darkened. Wings hyaline, with dark 

 yellow veins ; male with the brown spot at the end of the anal vein and with the 

 supernumerary lobe well developed, but less so than in diversus ; no brown fore 

 border and no distinct anal streak ; only the stigma blackish brown, the subcostal 

 cell yellowish brown at the end, and a well developed elongate brown spot at the end 

 of the third vein ; first basal cell wholly hyaline at the base ; terminal portion of 

 fourth vein curved at the base ; no brown spot at the lower end of the hind cross- 

 vein. 



Type (^ and type $ (British Museum) and some additional specimens of both sexes 

 from Pachmarhi, 3,500 ft., Central India, on peach {Prumis 'persica), 30. v. 1909 

 {Ratiram). 



The present species belongs evidently to the group of zonatus, tuberculatus and 

 correctus, feeding also on peach.

Dacus sp., H. M. Lefroy, Indian Insect Life, 1909, pi. ixvi, fig. 2. 



A very distinct species, the male of which has a non-cihated third abdominal 

 segment, but a very exaggerated supernumerary lobe at the end of the anal vein in 

 the wings. The ovipositor is much longer than in the other species, very Hke that of 

 D. longistylus ; but in immature specimens it is flattened and apparently shorter. 

 The facial band of the female is simple, not double as stated in my paper, probably 

 as a result of confusion with diiplicatus. The ^ving figures of pi. viii are those of the 

 male (fig. 2) and female (fig. 3). 



The puparium of this species is more whitish than that figured by Prof. Lefroy. 

 The species was originally bred from oranges {Citrus aurantium). Pusa, Bihar, 

 sitting on jaman leaves {Eugenia jambolana), 23. vi. 1914, and on mustard, 27, i. 1914
