stripe; the whole frons except the stripe is hairy. Eyes 

 large, upright long-oval, extremely pubescent, almost hairy. 

 The head-bristles are outer vertical, approximated post- 

 vertical, tiny ocellars bent backwards, all of them pale. Tiie 

 £ has a largish antenna (fig. 31), with a comparatively long 

 2nd joint and a triangularly pointed 3rd ; the arista is 

 inserted basally and has abnormally long basal joints and a 

 pubescent, flagcllum. The ? has an ordinary 2nd (fig. 32), an 

 oval 3rd with rather acute upper angle, and a similar arista. 

 Thorax all punctured and black, with dense fairly long 

 yellowish hairs, well seen when viewed sideways; the scu- 

 tellum is similar, somewhat swollen, in profile a long 

 round-tipped triangle, with two terminal tubercles carrying 

 long orange bristles ; alongside the end-tubercles on the 

 lower surface are some smaller auxiliary ones with much 

 smaller similar bristles. Only the last d.-c. and the noto- 

 pleural bristles present, all orange. Wings (fig. 33) a little 

 darkened in male. Legs rather stout, especially so in male. 



Type, the following species. 



Note. — The specimens are only in moderate condition, and 

 the bristles are easily detached; hence the above characters 

 are compiled from all the specimens.

<$ . Head (top-front view, fig. 30) ? — All brown-haired, 

 frons black, the punctured triangle with base not quite across 

 vertex and point down to antennas, the central stripe very 

 shining, the hairs just over antenna white and longer. An- 

 tennas as fig. 31, 2nd joint orange, very hairy inside, 3rd 

 basally orange, apically from just before the arista black ; 

 arista pale orange, with dark-haired flagellum. Front view: 

 the antennas have long shallow separate foveas, the bottom of 

 these being dusted grey, as are lines near the edges of the 

 very hairy eyes. Side-view as fig. 34; palpi orange. 



Thorax : dorsum and scutellum similarly and finely punc- 

 tate, pale-haired (see above) ; calli very prominent, but like 

 rest of dorsum ; scutellum as above. Pleura all shining 

 black, with few hairs. 



Wings long (tig. 33), dusky, with stout brown veins, 

 llalteres with shining black knob. 



Legs stout and hairy ; all coxas black, all trochanters
