FLIES OF THE TRIBE LESKIINI—JAMES 115 
legs otherwise without pollen; some whitish hairs on coxae and at base 
of posteroventral surface of femora, legs otherwise black-haired. 
Wings hyaline; setulae of vein R, more closely set toward apex of vein. 
Squamae and halteres yellow. Abdomen yellow to yellowish orange; 
second and third segments, sometimes also first, each with a triangular 
median apical black spot dorsally; third and fourth, and usually sec- 
ond, segments each with a small apical spot on each side; abdomen 
wholly shining dorsally, the basal two tergites ventrally with thin 
whitish pollen visible only in an oblique light. Segment 1 ventrally 
mostly white-pilose; pile of abdomen otherwise black. 
Types.—The type of S. trifarta, a male labeled “ex Amer: m: 
Schmidt,” was still extant in the University Zoological Museum, 
Copenhagen, in 1928, when it was examined by Townsend. G. maculi- 
ventris was described from a male from Venezuela in the Museo 
Torinese; Townsend apparently erred in regard both to the sex and 
location of the type in his twice-published statement, “female Ht 
in Bologna.” 
The above description was based on one female, “Piedra B.,”™ 
April; two females, Cano Saddle, Gatun Lake, Panama, May 3 and 
June 1923 (R. C. Shannon) ; one female, San Esteban, Venezuela, No- 
vember 1939 (Pablo Anduze) [all U.S.N.M.]; one male, Sangrelaya, 
Honduras, April 13, 1924 (C. H. Curran) ; and 1 male, Corocito, Hon- 
duras, April 3, 1924 (C. H. Curran) [Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.].

I can find no significant difference between this species and G. 
trifaria except in the greater length of the haustellum in relation to 
the head (ratio, 1.6 in type female, 1.5 in two males). The ratio be- 
tween the length of the palpus and that of the third antennal segment 
is 1.9 for the female and 2.0 for the males. The two species may be 
synonymous, but the insufficiency of the material at hand does not 
at present justify drawing such a conclusion. 
Holotype—F¥emale, Tapera, Pernambuco, Brazil, October 20, 1932, 
U.S.N.M. No. 57293. 
I have also seen a male, Tapera, Pernambuco, September 11, 1935, 
and a male, “Utingo,” May 24, on foliage (Townsend Collection). 
4 According to the editor’s footnote in Aldrich, Ent. News, vol. 35, p. 211, 1924, this 
locality is probably Piedra Blanca, Bolivia, 4 miles west of Corumba, Brazil.
