The small flies of this genus are easily recognized by the pecu 

 liar marking of the wings, three rosettes more or less distinct, form- 

 ed by pale marks on the darker ground colour are usually present, 

 though in a few species they are absent and only pale streaks are 

 present. The great majority of the species have typical pakr 

 rings of colour on the middle and posterior tibiae, occasionalh' 

 absent, or only present on the middle pair, this character is some- 

 times indistinct owing to denudation. In the grouping of the 

 species I have taken this character as a means of division, after- 

 wards relying chiefly on the shape of antennae (in the females 

 only) and on the form of the apical band of wing. As many more 

 species will probably be discovered from India and other Oriental 

 districts it seems useless as yet to draw up a table of species.

 the tibiae . . . . . . . . Group I. 



Division II. Legs not uniform in colour, but with the base of
