 eye-margins ; hind head hairy at upper corners behind eyes. 

 Side-view (Hg. 14) : — Antennse and palpi clear yellow ; 

 arista hair-like, pale ; tongue fleshy and hooked at tip. In 

 front the face is wide, with no keel except a tiny bar be- 

 tween antennae; margin of mouth arched. 



Thorax bare on dorsum, which is flattened and dull except 

 for a central shining line extending to the shining base ; the 

 sides above the notopleural suture and all the pleura are 

 abundantly clothed with long pale hairs. Scutellum enor- 

 mously swollen both sideways and upwards, smooth except 

 for an extraordinary flattened area on the disc, which 

 is slightly dimpled ; the base towards thorax has two large 

 blackened areas with a pale line between ; it is hairy, with 

 pale hairs, which are longest and regular on the margin ; 

 notopleura smooth. 



Wings as fig. 14, the costal elevation from base to 1st 

 vein with a row of long, dark, silky hairs ; the whole surface

 hairs on costa; no long hairs on middle legs.
