I9I7-J C. H. T. TowNSEND : Indian Rhinimae. 187 



margin of last two segments ; front tarsi of female slightly widened ; 

 palpi subph\'lliform ; no differentiated proclinate f ronto-orbitals 

 in female. 



Strongyloneura, Big. — The characters in the table are drawn 

 from S. nepalana, sp. n. The genotype is S. prasina, Big., Japan, 

 with which nepalana seems to be congeneric. The main characters 

 of nepalana are: Facial carina absent; epistoma Phasia-Xike, quite 

 broad; arista long-plumose nearly to tip ; apical cell open, fourth 

 vein evenly rounded at bend like Muscina ; macrochaetae mar- 

 ginal, short erect discals in transverse row on anal segment; front 

 tarsi of female moderately widened ; palpi club-shaped ; female 

 vertex less than eye-width, two strong proclinate f ronto-orbitals ; 

 strong preacrostichals present; male hypopygium not extremely 

 large but rather conspicuous and elongate ; male eyes not con- 

 tiguous, but frontalia nearly or quite pinched out. 



Arrhinidia , B. B. — The genotype is Rhyncomya aberrans, Sch., 

 China. Would run out at couplet 12 of the table, on charac- 

 ter of the arista. Facial carina present ; epistoma apparently 

 Phasia-Mke, but little projected; arista short-ciliate above only; 

 apical cell open; male eyes practically contiguous; male hypopy- 

 gium large; macrochaetae marginal; front tarsi widened; palpi 

 phylliform. 



Stomina, R. D. — The genotype is 5. rubricornis , R. D., Europe. 

 A probable synonym is Gymnostylina , Mcq. Would run out with 

 Metallea. Facial carina weak but probably broad, as descrip- 

 tion states that the antennae of female are separated thereby; 

 epistoma probably Phasia-Yxk^, stated to be somewhat rostriform; 

 arista pubescent; apical cell open ; macrochaetae of abdomen weak 

 or absent; thorax villous, without macrochaetae on disk. 



Beria, R. D. — The genotype is B. inflata, R. D., Africa. Would 

 run to 14, and probably out with Stegosoma. Head inflated some- 

 what after the style of Sahnacia [Gonia); facial carina absent; 

 epistoma Phasia-Mke ; arista bare ; apical cell open ; male eyes near- 

 ly contiguous; macrochaetae weak ; palpi subphylliform, widened 

 at tip. 



Pararhynchomyia, Becker. — The genotype is evidently P. 

 varifrons, Beck., Africa, but I have been unable to find the original 

 reference in the literature and get my information from Bezzi's 

 1911 paper on African " Miodarii Superiori. " Would run out at 

 16 on apical cell petiolate. Facial carina not developed ; epistoma 

 Phasia-like ; arista bare; apical cell petiolate; further characters 

 not stated by Bezzi. 



Idiopsis, B. B. — The genotype is /. prasina, B. B., Mediter- 

 ranean Region. Would run to 18 apparently. Facial carina absent ; 

 epistoma Phasia-like, moderately broad; arista long-plumose; 

 apcial cell open; male eyes nearly contiguous, the upper facets en- 

 larged ; malehypopygium large, claws not very long; macrochaetae 

 marginal on segments one to four; front tarsi of female scarcely 

 widened; palpi club-shaped, probably widened ; four or more short, 

 equal proclinate fronto-orbitals in female ; female vertex wide.
