LIMOSINA MIRABILIS COLLIN, A SPECIES OF 

 BORBORID^ NEW TO THE UNITED STATES. 



By J. R. Malloch and F. Knab, 

 U. S. National Museum, Washington, D. C. 



Amongst a miscellaneous lot of Diptera col- 

 lected at Veitch, Va., on June 9, 1912, there were 

 three specimens of an interesting Borborid. It 

 was originally described by J. E. Collins (Ent. 

 Month. Mag., Vol. 13, 2d ser., p. 59, figs. 5, 6, 

 1902), from specimens taken by G. H. Verrall 

 at Newmarket, England, and recorded also from 

 Kirtling, England in the same paper. The re- 

 markable thorn on the hind tibia present in both 

 sexes (see fig. 1) readily distinguishes it from 

 any other described species of the genus Limo- 

 sina. The wing has the second and third costal 

 divisions sub-equal.
