1915. | E. BRUNETTI: Notes on Oriental Syrphidae. 251 
Mussoorie, 4-iv-05. I have seen several specimens of C. javana, 
W., 2, and ¢trinotata, Meij., from Darjiling, v-I912, and have des- 
cribed a new species tviangulifera, 7 2 (Rec. Ind. Mus., ix, 273, 
pl. xiv, 10) from the same district and noted some specimens of 
further undescribed species. 
Ceria fulvescens, mihi, sp. nov. 
(Plate xiii, figs. 20—2r1r). 
@” Western Himalayas. Long. 13 mm. 
Head.—Hinder orbit of eyes lemon yellow. The whole front 
part of the head lemon yellow, except for a broad median brown 
stripe, extending to the mouth, and which is enlarged around the 
base of the antennae into a diamond-shaped patch which occupies 
all the upper part, except for the rather narrow lemon yellow bor- 
der immediately contiguous to the eyes. The side corners of the 
diamond-shaped brown part just touch the eyes at about half 
their height, viewed from in front. The cheeks are wholly simi- 
larly brown coloured, leaving a broad lemon yellow space between 
them and the lower part of the median stripe. Ocellar triangle 
small, brown. Eyes closely contiguous for the short distance 
that they touch. Antennae with Ist joint reddish brown, or 
more neatly maroon; 3rd joint brownish yellow, lighter towards 
tip; style brownish yellow at base, the remainder yellowish 
white. Back of head more or less yellowish or brownish yellow. 
Thovax.—Reddish brown or ferruginous. Humeral calli lemon 
yellow; a prealarlemon yellow callus at each end of the trans- 
verse suture, and lemon yellow coloured marks are placed as 
follows. Two faint short lines from the anterior margin which 
neatly meet, and short transverse similar marks placed longitudi- 
nally along the transverse suture, one on each side of the middle. 
An elongate triangular mark on hind margin of dorsum, the base 
of the triangle coinciding with the margin; a narrow sub-laterai 
streak towards each side near the wings; a rather large very 
clearly cut mark on each of the meso- sterno- and metapleurae, 
the first one approximately oval, the others roughly circular. 
Scutellum reddish brown, the base and hind margin rather broadly 
jemon yellow; metanotum reddish brown. 
Abdomen.—Reddish brown or ferruginous; a large triangular 
lemon yellow spot on each.side at the base of the very narrowed 
and segment; posterior margins of 2nd and 3rd segments yellow- 
ish, that of the 4th also indistinctly so. Belly reddish brown, a 
small lemon yellow transverse spot towards the hind margin of 
and segment. 
Legs uniformly ferruginous brown. 
Wings.—Pale yellowish; anterior half yellowish brown, the 
colour filling the marginal cell and extending partly into the Ist 
basal cell. Stigma a little darker brown MHalteres with yellow- 
ish white stems and reddish brown knobs.
