1913] Tovmsend — On the Tribe Dejeaniini of the Muscoid Family 103 



trata Macquart from Brazil (Minas-Geraes), and Hystricia erythrina 

 Bigot from Brazil (Bahia) . The remainder of the forms continued 

 under the old genus until 1912, when the writer established the 

 genus Eudejeania for certain strikingly large and distinct forms 

 which range high in the Andean montanya. 



The African Dejeania capensis RD. (equals bombylans F., Wd.) 

 is not congeneric with any of the American forms, hence its desig- 

 nation as type of the genus leaves the latter without nearer generic 

 reference than Eudejeania, which is strikingly contrasted with the 

 older and better known forms. The figure 21, on page 44 of the 

 third edition of Dr. Williston's Manual, labeled Paradejeania sp., 

 is evidently not that genus. It has almost exactly the form and 

 aspect of Eudejeania female; if discal spines are wanting on the 

 intermediate abdominal segments (they appear to show on the 

 left side of second segment), and the proboscis and palpi are both 

 very elongate, it is probably Eudejeania. The figure 60, on page 

 366 of same work, also labeled Paradejeania sp., is neither Para- 

 dejeania nor Eudejeania, but has the palpal characters of Jurinia. 



Tachina armata Wiedemann was taken by Brauer and von 

 Bergenstamm in 1889 as typical of the American forms, and is 

 here made the type of the new genus Adejeania. Tachina corpu- 

 lenta Wiedemann and Dejeania vexatrix Osten Sacken are strikingly 

 contrasted with Adejeania and the other American forms, the 

 second showing an approach to Servillia in its long dense pubes- 

 cence and the first exhibiting bristles in place of this pubescence. 

 Both are made the types of new genera. Eulasiopalpus is erected 

 for forms with ciliate palpi, long proboscis and bare eyes. The 

 following synoptic table will show the distinctions between all of 

 these forms with greatly elongated palpi, including the new genus 

 Dejeaniops Townsend whose characterization is given in full in a 

 forthcoming paper on the Hystriciidm of the Andean montanya.
