Holotype in Ind. Mus. Paratype, No. 21022 U.S. Nat. Mus. 



Two apparently new genera near Borhororhinia are represented 

 in the Indian collection by two male specimens from Margherita, 

 Assam, and Mergui, Lower Burma {W .Doherty). They are not in 

 sufficiently good state of preservation to serve as holotype speci- 

 mens; hence I do not name them. 



Cosmina, R. D. 



(Syn. Seseromya, Rdi.) 



Genotype, Musca punctulata, Wied. — Africa, (syn. Cosmina 

 fuscipennis , R. D.). 



Facial carina present but weak ; epistoma Rhinia-WkQ but not 

 very strongly projected ; arista plumose on both sides, tip more or 

 less bare ; apical cell widely open ; male eyes nearly contiguous, 

 the frontalia completely pinched out; male hypopygium large; 

 weak macrochaetae on anal segment, practically only marginal. 



I am unable to refer any of the forms in the Indian collection 

 to this genus, Indian and East Indian species have been referred 

 here by Walker and Bigot, probably incorrectly. 



Synamphoneura, Bigot. 



Genotype, 5. cuprina, Big. — Java, 



Facial carina not developed; epistoma Rhinia-\ike, broad; 

 arista long-plumose ; apical cell closed in margin or extremely 

 short-petiolate ; male eyes nearly contiguous, frontalia pinched 

 out ; male hypopygium rather large, claws elongate but not very 

 strong; strong macrochaetae on margin of anal segment, weak 

 ones on margins of other segments ; front tarsi not widened in 

 either sex, female claws very short and weak; palpi ph^dliform 

 but not very wide. 



Synamphoneura cuprina, Big. 

 Fourteen specimens, both sexes, from Java, Assam and Burma.

Genotype, Idia seriepunctata, Lw. — Mozambique, (syn. Cos- 

 mina depressa, Karsch).
