brown stripes, hairs whitish; pleura mottled with bluish-black and 

 covered with whitish pollen and hairs; scutellum grayish. Abdomen 

 brown with a lighter posterior margin on each segment, the entire 

 surface with a white pubescence. Legs yellow, under side of the 

 posterior femora and tips of all the tibiae and tarsi brown, front coxae 

 with long, white hairs; halteres light yellow. Wings hyahne, stigma 

 and cross-veins clouded with brown. Length, 13mm. 



The cf differs but little from 'the 9 , except that the facets on the 

 upper two-thirds of the eye are double the size of those on the lower 

 third. The stripe^ on the thorax are obsolete. Length 10mm. 



Three specimens collected by Professor Kincaid, July 10 and 30. 

 Tabanus nigrovittatus Macquart. 



In writing to Mr. Jones regarding a larger horse-fly than this 

 species, he says: "This is undoubtedly the 'large horse-fly' you asked 

 me to look out for; the carriage-drivers assured me that no larger 

 species occurs here. It is said to be locally abundant in the summer 

 time, but up to May 20 I saw only one living example; the other speci- 

 men I got from a local collector who confirmed the drivers' statement. " 

 It seems, therefore, probable that the reference to a larger species, 

 (Psyche vol. XI, p. 77) applies also to this species.

 Chrysotus bermudensis sp. nov. 



Front shining green, face with silvery white pollen; antennas black, 

 small. Thorax and scutellum shining green, slightly covered with a yel- 

 lowish pollen; pleura greenish black, with whitish pollen.. Abdomen 

 shining with a narrow bronze band at the base of each segment. 

 Legs including the front coxas yellow, middle and posterior coxae 

 black; a preapical band on the posterior femora, and the extreme 

 tips of the tarsi dark brown. Halteres, tegulas and cilia light yellow, 

 wings grayish hyaline. Length, 2mm. 



Three females, June 20, July 26 (Kincaid). Holotype in the 

 author's collection; one paratype in the Museum of Comparative 

 Zoology. This species is closely related to C. pallipes Loew, but seems 

 readily separated from that species by the dark preapical band on the 

 posterior femora.
