1912.] E. Brunetti: New Oriental Diptera. 509 
Thorax.—Concolorous, minutely pubescent. The usual bristles 
round the edge and posterior border of the dorsum, and at base 
of wing. Scutellum with two strong bristles. 
Abdomen.—Concolorous, almost bare. Sides of 2nd, 3rd and 
4th segment blackish, forming a large side spot. Sides of 2nd 
segment with a few short, bristly hairs, and some hairs at tip of 
abdomen. Belly almost a replica of the dorsal surface. 
Legs.—Concolorous but paler. Coxae bristly at tip; femora 
bare of bristles, hind pair with a few short hairs below; tibiae 
(slightly damaged) apparently bearing only the apical spurs; hinder 
side of hind tibiae with a row of microscopic bristles. 
Wings.—Very pale yellowish, strong veins yellow; costal 
spines of moderate length; 3rd longitudinal vein attaining fully the 
middle of the wing; Ist vein ending at middle of costal cell. Three 
or four bristles on extreme base of wing on posterior edge. The 
discal veins nearly as in ferruginea, the 2nd much more sinuous. 
Halteres reddish yellow. 
Described froma o@ from Sylhet taken by Lt.-Col. Hall, 8-iv-05, 
and a ~ and 2 from Madhupur, Bengal, 13 and 16-x-09 [ Paiva], 
all in the Indian Museum. 
N.B.—This species is closely allied to ferruginea, and at times 
1 have thought it identical, as though nominally there should be 
only two proclinate bristles, there is in one of the above three 
specimens a lower very much smaller pair, hardly so large as the 
lower pair in fevruginea, a species in which this lower pair varies in 
size very considerably. The bristles are broken off the scutellum in 
two specimens, in the third they are present, only a single pair and 
of considerable size. The tips of the hind femora are not blackish 
but this is, of course, a weak character and specimens of this 
nature exist in fervruginea. The abdominal marking in the three 
specimens are consistent and the general appearance is that of a 
distinct though allied species. 
Aphiochaeta flavifacies, mihi, sp. nov. 
Q 7. +Caleutta- Long. 14 mm. 
Head.—Frons (minutely pubescent), face, antennae, palpi, 
proboscis, bright yellow; ocellar tubercle distinct, black. Two 
pairs of frontal proclinate bristles; Ist and 2nd upper rows 
rather close together, 2nd row nearly straight; 3rd rather strongly 
curved, arranged in two pairs, the two central bristles converging, 
and barely above the line of the upper proclinate ones. Lower 
proclinate bristles very small. 
Thorax.—Tawny yellow, minutely pubescent, the hairs barely 
longer towards posterior margin. Five marginal bristles, two 
dorso-central. Scutellum concolorous, two bristles. 
Abdomen black, nearly bare; posterior margin of segments 
narrowly whitish; sides of abdomen here and there with a reddish 
tinge. Belly black. Ovipositor small, pale yellow, hairy.
