the outer cross-vein of wing with its upper extremity con- 
spicuously blackened and the lower but little infuscated, the 
black spot at apex of second vein absent or almost so, and 
the one at apex of first much smaller. The abdomen in 
male has a less clearly defined dorso-central vitta, and the 
larger bristies and also the setule are set in small blackish 
dots. 
Male.—Differs from Pegomyia peciloptera in having the 
eyes closer together, arista more swollen at base, fore tibia 
with two posterior median bristles ; hind tibia with three 
postero-dorsal, four or five antero-dorsal, and two antero- 
ventral bristles. Costal thorn of moderate length, wing less 
pointed than in peciloptera. Differs from Hylemyia puncti- 
pennis, Wiedemann, “in having the arista much shorter- 
haired, the hind tibia with shorter posterior setulose hairs, 
and the fore tibia with two posterior bristles. 
Female.—Similar to the male in colour. 
Frons over one-third of the head-width; interfrontalia 
with a pair of cruciate bristles. 
Length 4—4°5 mm.

American species.

Genus ANTIPODOMYIA, Nov. 
Generic characters.—Closely allied to Limnophora, the pre- 
alar bristle and hind tibial calear absent, and the third 
wing-vein curved forward at its apex. Differs in having 
the prosternum bare, third vein bare at base, prescutellar 
acrostichals situated well in front of the posterior pair of 
dorso-centrals. Eyes of female separated by about one- 
third of the head-width, each orbit with only the upper 
bristle directed backward.
