Wings lightly tinged with brownish ; first section of the costa with

 2i-3 mm. 



Numerous specimens. St. Vincent. 



4. Limosina perparva, n. sp. (PL XIY., figs. 161, 



wing; 161a, antenna.) 



(J . Front and face opaque-black. Antennae obscurely yellow, 

 the third joint whitish pubescent, heart-shaped, with a terminal 

 arista ; arista black, pubescent. Thorax and scutellum deeply 

 black, the former shining, the latter opaque. Abdomen black. 

 Legs black ; the tip of the tibiae and the tarsi yellowish ; hind 

 metatarsi nearly as long as the second joint. Wings nearly 

 hyaline ; the second vein joins the costa in a very acute angle, and 

 is concave on the posterior side throughout ; costa with longer 

 bristles on its first section. Length O'D mm. 



One specimen. 



5. Limosina luguhris, n. sp. (PI. XIV., fig. 162, wing.) 



^ , $ . Face and cheeks yellow or brownish-yellow. Antennae 

 yellow, the third joint brownish at the tip, whitish pubescent,

 with a coronet of strong bristles. Front opaque-reddish or 

 brownish-yellow. Thorax, scutellum, and abdomen black shining ; 

 scutellum flattened. Legs yellow, middle tibiae with bristles on 

 the under side. Wings tinged with brownish, with a narrow 

 cross-band and the tip more nearly hyaline ; the third vein takes 

 its origin beyond the insertion of the first ; the first section of the 

 third vein is a little shorter than the terminal section of the 

 second vein, and the third section of the costa is nearly three 

 times the length of the second section ; posterior cross-vein but

One specimen. With this specimen there is another, 

 which has the front brown above, the pleurte brownish- 

 yellow, the wings rather narrower, not clouded, 

 and with the distal section of the third vein more 

 nearly straight, and terminating exactly at the tip of 

 the wing. It undoubtedly belongs to a different
