Arista plumose; three large orbitals, uppermost nearer to inner vertical than to lower- ° 
most orbital; postverticals small; face not markedly carinate; vibrisse present; prescutel- 
lars present; two dorsocentrals; one humeral; two notopleurals; two supra-alars; two 
postalars; two scutellar pairs, posterior ones crossed; no propleural; auxiliary vein rudi- 
mentary; discal and second basal cells confluent; costa very weak or absent beyond apex 
of third vein; preapicals on second and third tibie. 
The type species is the European Drosophila maculata Dufour. This 
species, like the two nearctic ones, breeds in fungi. This habit, while 
usual, is not invariable in the group, as I have bred L. varia Walker from 
tomatoes. 
The five synonyms given above all represent attempts to split the genus 
into smaller groups, but all seem to me to be based on too slight differences 
to warrant new generic names. The supposed generic characters and the 
type species follow: 
Oxyleucophenga Hendel: Wings distinctly pointed. Type, O. undulata Hendel, from Peru. 
Drosomyiella Hendel: Second orbital unusually large, third orbitals slightly convergent. 
Type, Drosophila abbreviata de Meijere, from Java and Formosa. 
Paraleucophenga Hendel: Arista pectinate. Type, P. triseta Hendel, from Formosa. 
Neoleucophenga Oldenberg (new name for Paraleucophenga Oldenberg, not Hendel): Costa 
reaches apex of fourth vein. Type, Leucophenga quinquemaculata Strobl, from 
Europe. 
The following 45 species may be referred to the genus Leucophenga. 
Those marked with an asterisk (*) are here referred to this genus for the 
first time, so far as I know. All these except the types of Oryleucophenga 
and Paraleucophenga Hendel were originally described as species of Dro- 
sophila. All have been referred to Leucophenga on the basis of the published 
descriptions, except obscuripennis Loew. I have examined the type speci- 
men of the latter species. The unstarred species described by de Meijere 
and by Lamb were referred to Leucophenga not as a genus but as a subgenus 
of Drosophila.
