clouded with fuscous and the hypopygiuin with only one 
lateral notch near the base. For this form I propose the 
name 
Tachynomyia adusta, vSm., st. imiformis, st. nov. 
Agriomyia hermanni, sp. nov. 
9 . Head very thin, large, scarcely convex, more than half as 
broad again anteriorly as long, rounded at the sides, nearly as broad 
on the posterior margin as long, the front closely and microscopically 
punctured, with a median longitudinal sulcus, an obscure oblique 
depression on each side in the ocellar region, the vertex sparsely 
punctured. Clypeus with a short carina not extending to the apex. 
Eyes small, touching the base of the mandibles, the antennae 
inserted as far from each other as from the eyes. Pronotuin much 
narrower than the head, more than half as broad again anteriorly 
as long, slightly narrowed posteriorly, slightly convex, the anterior 
angles depressed and produced into short spines, shining, with 
scattered punctures, a very short sulcus from the middle of the 
anterior margin, the projjleurae finely aciculate. Scutellum narrow, 
a little longer than the breadth at the base, narrowed to the apex, 
sparsely punctured. Median segment closely punctured, thinly 
covered with cinereous pubescence, no longer than the scutellum, 
broadened from the base and obliquely truncate posteriorly. Abdo¬ 
men shining, with a few scattered punctures, the first segment, with 
a broad depression before the feebly raised apical margin, the 
depression scarcely arched in the middle, second segment with four 
strong transverse carinae, including the raised apical margin, the 
fifth segment longitudinally subcarinate in the middle ; pygidium 
elongate ovate, with a carina from the base to the middle. 
Black ; the mandibles, clypeus, antennae, legs, sides of the 
abdominal segments, carinae of the second dorsal segment and 
base of the pygidium fusco-ferruginous. Length 10 mm. 
Clypeus produced and narrowly truncate at the apex, 
sparsely punctured. Head rounded, finely and shallowly punctured, 
with a shining longitudinal line on the front, the antennae inserted 
a little nearer to the eyes than to each other. Thorax closely 
punctured ; the scutellum shining, more sparsely punctured and 
rather strongly convex. Median segment obliquely depressed. 
Abdomen fusiform, shining, sparsely and shallowly punctured ; 
hypopygiuin very broadly triangular, slightly rounded at the 
apex, with a short apical spine; the first ventral segment truncate 
at the apex and subtuberculate. 
Black ; the clypeus, the inner margins of the eyes broadly as high
