ART. 11. GENUS MESEMBRINELLA GIGLIO-TOS——ALDRICH. 23 
iong, also erect, the marginals not larger than the latter. Legs wholly 
yellow, the tarsi darker toward the tips. Wings rather uniformly 
infuscated, still a little deeper clouding follows the main veins and 
the cross veins, especially the anterior cross vein. ‘Apical cell with a 
narrow opening, hardly as long as anterior cross vein. 
Length, 9.2 and 9.5 mm. 
Two males, Espirito Santo, Brazil, from the Bavarian State 
Museum. 
Type.—Male, Cat. No. 25887, U.S.N.M. 
Three females, Espirito Santo, Brazil (Professor Johannsen), agree 
with the males. The front is rather narrow, about half the width of 
one eye. 
OTHER SPECIES NEAR MESEMBRINELLA. 
Calliphora zanthorhina Bigot, Bull. Soc. Ent. France, 1887, p. 180; 
Bull. Soc. Zool. France, vol. 12, p. 602. (Somomyia.) 
The type, from Mexico, was referred to Mesembrinella by Brauer.® 
The description gives legs black; wings pale grey with small cross- 
vein infuscated. These characters are different from anything 
included herein. The “ chrysorrhea Mcq.”’ referred to by Brauer in 
this connection is a MS. name by Moritz, not Macquart, on a speci- 
men in the Imperial Museum; see Brauer.”. The type of zanthorhina 
is in Mr. J. E. Collin’s collection, but he writes me that it has been 
loaned for study; he thinks it the same as M. cruciata Townsend, 
but I do not venture to change the name until the type is examined. 
Calliphora femorata WALKER, Trans. Ent. Soc., n. ser., vol. 5, 1858, 
p. 310. 
From Mexico. Major Austen has examined the type, and writes 
me that it is a Hemilucilia; from this I should judge it a synonym of 
segmentaria. 
Ochromyia fuscipennis MacquarT, Dipt. Exot., vol. 2, pt. 3, 1843, 
p. 292, female, pl. 17, fig. 2. 
From Brazil. Only 8 mm. long, and the figure shows an append- 
age to the fourth vein at the bend. However, the description reads 
much like a Mesembrinella, and Macquart compares the specimen 
with bicolor Fabricius. Can not be identified from the description. 
Ochromyia gigas Macquart, Dipt. Exot., Suppl., vol. 1, 1846, p. 
324, pl. 17, fig. 9. 
From Brazil. Almost certainly not a Mesembrinella, as the colors 
are yellow and black, with no reference to blue or green; 16 mm. 
long; abdomen yellow, with black apex, segments 1-3 with small 
median dorsal spot at hind edge.
