a Revision of the Genus Harpagomyia. 499 
front. Mesonotum with a double median longitudinal row of 
metallic silvery scales, integument varying in colour from light 
brown to black. Pro-epimeral scales silvery. Abdomen with 
lateral patches of silvery scales on segments 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7, those 
on segments 2 and 4 the largest. Male hypopygium very small, often 
almost entirely hidden, yellowish in colour. Basal lobe of side 
piece with two distinct spines and several stiff hairs; side pieces 
less than twice as long as broad. Lobes of ninth tergite slightly 
prominent, with about 8 undifferentiated hairs. Mesosome divided. 
The British Museum series includes Leicester’s type 
male; 6 9 from Batavia, Java (fF. W. Terry); 1g 3 9 
bred from larvae from wild pineapple, Kuala Lumpur 
(Dr. A. T. Stanton); and 2 2 2 3 from Colombo, Ceylon 
(Col. S. P. James). 
2. H. taeniarostris Theobald. See Plate XVI, fig. 6 x 50. 
Differs from H. genurostris as follows :— 
Eyes practically touching, at any rate no scales on the line 
separating them. Pro-epimeral scales pale golden. Male hypopy- 
gium larger, blackish. Spines on basal lobe of side piece and on lobes 
of ninth sternite more numerous. Aedoeagus rather differently 
formed. 
Besides Theobald’s male type from Kampala Swamp, 
Uganda, the British Museum collection now contains a 
female from Dar-es-Salaam, EK. Africa (A. W. J. Pomeroy). 
The mesonotum in both specimens is very much rubbed, 
but the female shows traces of the double median row of 
metallic scales, and this must therefore be presumed to 
be present in the male also. 
3. H. fraseri, sp. n. See Plate XVI, fig. 8 x 50. 
Clypeus blackish, with very slight grey dusting, rather shorter 
than in the two preceding species. Proboscis entirely dark. Eyes 
separated by a very narrow unscaled line. Head scales all blackish. 
Pro-epimeral scales silvery. Mesonotum with no trace of a double 
median row of metallic scales, the whole surface being covered with 
narrow, straight blackish scales; integument black. Abdomen with 
silvery lateral spots on segments 2, 4, 5,6 and7. Male hypopygium 
rather larger than in the two preceding. Side pieces over twice as 
long as broad; basal lobes with four or five spines besides a few 
hairs. Lobes of ninth tergite elongated, with five bristles, of which 
the apical two are stronger than the others. Mesosome not divided, 
not very strongly chitinised.
