black; coxae blackish, with grey tomen turn. Wingshyal'me, 

 very faintly greyish at apex ; A^eins brown ; small transverse 

 vein just iDeyond the middle of discal cell ; anal cell very 

 narrow at border. 



The co-type of Saropogon hudsoni, presented to the 

 British Museum by the late Capt. F. W, Hutton, is identical 

 with the Walker type. He records his species from ISIount 

 Peel, Nelson. 



Saropogon suavis, Walker, 

 Dasypogon gnmaras, Walker. 



Type (cJ) from Australia. 



A small, slender^ reddish species, with a general resem- 

 blance to a Leptogaster species. 



Length 11 mm. 



Face covered with golden-yellow tomentum. Moustache 

 of pale yellow bristles. Palpi ferruginous, with yellowish 

 hairs. Antennce (third joint destroyed) ; Walker describes 

 them as " tawny, the third joint nearly linear, black above.''^ 

 Forehead blackish, covered with some golden-yellow tomen- 

 tum. Thorax (denuded) reddish. Scutelhim similar. Ab- 

 domen wholly reddish, slender. Legs reddish, middle and 

 posterior femora and apices of posterior tibise black. Wings 

 tinged yellow, veins brown, fourth posterior cell slightly 

 narrowed at opening, the small transverse vein just beyond 

 the middle of discal cell. 



Though the third joint of antennce is wanting, there is 

 little doubt this species is a true Saropogon. 



Dasypogon gamaras, a male type from unknown region, is 

 identical, but a little larger, measuring 14 mm., and stouter; 

 there is a tinge of black on the second and third segments 

 of abdomen. 



Dasypogon analis, Macq., Dipt. Exot. Suppl. 4, p. 369

 be identical with this species. Head of type is gone. A 

 small species wdth yellow abdomen. Wings clear, tinged 

 yellow and slightly clouded on cross-veins ; all posterior 

 cells open. In Walker^s types none of the black markings 

 mentioned by Macquart are present. 



Saropogon limhinervis, Macquart. 



This species is placed in this genus by Bigot, who had 

 Macquart's type before him.
