304 Dr. C. P. Alexander on 
along the cord and outer end of cell lst M., and along the 
wing-margin at the ends of all the veins; veins brown, 
darker in the infuscated areas; the colour is produced by 
very abundant macrotrichie that cover the entire wing. 
Venation: As ending in cell R, as in Molophilus; ron R, 
about its own length beyond the fork of Rs ; cell lst M, 
closed ; basal deflection of Cu, one-third its length or less 
before the fork of M. 
Abdominal tergites dark, the colour almost concealed by 
dénse white sete ; sternites similar, but the apical margins 
of the segments appear broadly whitish, due to the greater 
abundance of sete. Male hypopygium with a median 
dorsal (the apparent ventral) style ; on either side of this a 
deeply bifid, slender appendage, the lateral arm shorter, 
sinuous, the apex acutely pointed ; mesal arm longer, decus- 
sate across the mid-line, dilated near the ends, the extreme 
tips of each produced into an acute black spine.

Amphineurus molophilinus is a very distinct fly that sug- 
gests in several respects a species of Molophilus, but has the 
wing-membrane densely covered with macrotrichiz and is to 
be placed in Amphineurus. 
Amphineurus harrisi, sp. n. 
Antenne of male elongate ; wings subhyaline; cell R, 
petiolate ; cell Ist Jf, open ; cell J/; sessile or nearly so; 
male hypopygium with the ninth tergite terminating in two 
parallel spines ; basal pleural appendage branched beyond 
mid-length ; penis-guard terminating in a long slender 
spine. ; 
Male.—Length about 45 mm.; wing 6°5 mm. 
Rostrum light brown; palpi dark brown. Antennz 
elongate, a little shorter than the body ; flagellum appearing 
subnodose as in the insulsus group of species; flagellum 
segments elongate-fusiform, except at the distal end with 
abundant erect sete: ; scapal segments brownish testaceous ; 
basal flagellar segments indistinctly bicolorous, dark brown, 
the apex narrowly pale ; terminal flagellar segments uni- 
formly brownish black. Head grey.
