Gemis GREENOMYIA, gen. nov. 



Genotype, G. nigricoxa, sp. nov. 



Near Palceoanaclinia, Meunier. 



[Vings : auxiliary vein half as long as 1st longitudinal, faint 

 but distinct ; subcostal cross-vein absent ; 3r(l longitudinal 

 emerging from 1st near its tip, comparatively short, reaching 

 margin of \\ ing some distance before tip ; costa not produced 

 beyond tip of 3rd ; cross-vein more oblique than in Palaioanadinia. 

 Petiole of 4th vein rather more than one-fourth the length of the 

 (parallel) branches, the upper one of which ends at extreme wing- 

 tip ; 5th vein forks immediately under tip of subcostal, distinctly 

 before fork of 4th, its branches parallel. Anal vein ((ith) strong, 

 straight, parallel to petiole of 5th, and ending just beyond fork of 

 latter, 7th absent. Ocelli three, in a sti-aight row in centre of 

 frons, no ocellar protuberance. ^6cZom^/i 6-segmented ( c{ ). Legs 

 moderately stout ; tibiae spurred, posterior pairs with three rows

It is with much pleasure that I. name this genus after Mr. E. 

 E. Grreen, of Ceylon, who has done such a great amount of work 

 for Oriental entomology, and to whom I am personally indebted 

 for a large number of Diptera from Ceylon.
