NO. 2128. NEW GENERA OF MUSCOID FLIES— TOWNSEND. 629 



LESKIOPALPUS, new genus. 



Genotype.— LesJciopalpus calidus Townsend, new species, for LesJcia 

 analis Coquillett, Rev. Tach., 1897, p. 67, part (not Dexia armlis Say, 

 Joum. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. 6, 1829, p. 177), holotype being 

 specimen labeled ''Ithaca, N. Y. Coll. Chittenden." Holotype No. 

 19150, U.S.N.M., female. 



Differs from MyoUopsis as follows: Proboscis stout, part below 

 geniculation not as long as one eye. Palpi longer than antennae, 

 curved, much widened on apical half, ahnost as wide as antennae. 

 Apical cell widely open. Hind crossvein nearly straight, much nearer 

 to cubitus than to small crossvein. 



PARADEMOTICUS, new genus. 



Genotype.— Demoticus piperi Coquillett, Rev. Tach., 1897, p. 122. 



Differs from Demoticus as follows: Second aristal joint short. 

 Parafacials broad. Cheeks of male a Httle less than one-haH eye- 

 height. Epistoma very prominent, projecting subhorizontally ; vi- 

 brissae set well back from oral margin, but httle longer than the 

 closely-set peristomal bristles and barely differentiated therefrom, 

 not decussate. Palpi stout-filiform, not thickened toward tip. 

 Legs longer, stout. Apical cell widely open, ending well before wing- 

 tip, the last section of fourth veiji long; hind crossvein much nearer 

 cubitus, sinuate, subparallel with hind margin of wing. Abdomen 

 with long bristly hairs. 



HINEA, new genus. 



Genotype.— Nemoraea setigera Coquillett, Proc.U. S. Nat. Mus.,vol. 



25, 1902, p. 111. 



Differs from Demoticus as follows: 



Fermle.— Front at vertex four-fifths of eye-width. Front strongly 

 projecting in profile, facial profile strongly receding, the length of head 

 at vibrissae about thi-ee-fifths that at base of antennae. Epistoma 

 rather cut off, only faintly projectmg. Thkd antennal joint fully 

 twice the second, sharply truncate at tip, widenmg evenly from base 

 to tip. Basal aristal joints short. Palpi swoUen-rounded apically. 

 Eyes thickly hauy. Sternopleurals, 1:1:1. Double discal pairs of 

 bristles on median line of intermediate abdominal segments. Apical 

 cell long-pointed, closed well before wingtip. Huid and apical cross- 

 vems closely approximated, nearly in Hue, subparallel with hind 

 margin of wmg. Fourth vein continued in long stump. Costal spine 



vestigial. 



The genus is named in honor of Prof. J. S. Hine.
