Khamphidia. 

 Meigen, Syst. Beschr., vi., 281, 1830. 



1. Rhamphidla albitarsis. (PI. X., figs. 59, wing; 

 59a, hypopygium.) 

 Bhamphidia albitarsis, Osten Sacken, Berl. Ent. 



Zeitschr., xxxi., 184, 1887. 

 Hah. Porto Kico. 



Two specimens, male and female, agreeing -well vnih 

 ths description. 



Elephantomyia. 



Osten Sacken, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1859. 

 1. Elephantomxjia longirostris, n. sp. 



$ . Proboscis about one and a-half times the length of the 

 body ; wings with a brown stigma and brownish clouds along the 

 cross-veins. Length of body 6 mm, of proboscis 8^ mm. 



Head yellow. Proboscis very distinctly longer than the bodyy 

 finely pubescent. Antennre brownish-yellow ; basal joints yellow, 

 the verticils black. Thorax yellow ; a rather broad, brownish 

 stripe along the middle, and a shorter, similarly coloured one ou 

 each side. Halteres yellow. Abdomen light yellow, with a broad, 

 brown band on the posterior part of each segment ; forceps 

 brownish. Wings lightly 'tinged with brownish ; with distinct 

 brownish or brown clouds along the distal part of the costa, and 

 along the cross-veins. Legs j'ellow ; femora brown at tip ; 

 neuration as in E. westicoodi, 0. S. 



This species is evidently closely allied to the type of 

 the genus, and I at first believed that it was the bame-, 

 but the more elongate proboscis and the brownish clouds 

 of the wings seem sufticient to separate them.
