Callimyia talpula Loew. ; f- 



CaUomyia talpula Loew, Centur., IX, 81, 1869. 



This species was based on a female taken in New Hampshire. It is velvety 

 black, with yellow legs. Two specimens of the male, one collected in Mt. Greylock, 

 Mass., June 15, 1906, the other at Auburndale, Mass., August 16, agree with Loew's 

 description, and type; the sexual characters are therefore all that need be described. 

 The posterior metatarsi are very broad and almost ovate, the posterior tibite are also 

 greatly dilated and as broad as the metatarsi; the genitalia prominent and brownish 

 black. Length, 2.5 mm.
