The short, subequal, widely separated .orbitals will dis- 

 tinguish this species from D. melanogaster Meig. and D. caribea 

 n. sp., which resemble it rather closely.

 above; reddish yellow, orbits grayish. Second orbital about one-fifth 

 other two. Carina broad and flat. Face brownish yellow, somewhat 

 polished. Two prominent oral bristles, nearly equal. Cheeks yellow, 

 their greatest width about one-fifth the greatest diameter of the eyes. 

 Eyes clothed with short pale pile. 



Acrostichal hairs in six rows; no prescutellars. Dorsum of thorax, 

 scutellum and pleurae shining reddish brown. Legs yellow; apical 

 and preapical bristles on first and second tibiae, preapicals on third. 



Abdomen shining black; three basal segments with anterior bands 

 of reddish brown, which do not reach the lateral margin.

 index about 3.9; 4th vein index about 1.7; 5x index about 1.0; 4c index 

 about 0.9.
