One female specimen is labelled in Walker's handwriting 

 ramicornis; there is no record of such a species in any of his 

 writings. He describes a cervus, var. $ , in List Dipt. pt. v. 

 Suppl. 1, ]). 131, from Santarem, Brazil, Bates coll. : this rami- 

 cornis is thus labelled and answers to the description of the 

 var., and is probably the fly he described ii?, cervus, var. ; it is 

 identical with cervus, Wiedem., the only difference being in the 

 teeth of the third joint of antennaj, which are not so deep or 

 sharply defined, and there is an appendix on one of the wings 

 not on the other. The comprehensa, $ , Walker, and two other 

 identical male specimens, all from the Amazons, are evidently 

 the same as cervus. The male has just been described by 

 Gigl.-Tos in the above paper, from one specimen received 

 from Ecuador ; the very long proboscis he lays so much stress 

 upon, is (apparently) only present in one of these male 

 specimens.

This genus, formed for one species from Oceania, should 

 include Pangonia melanopyga and crassipalpis, Macq., and 

 clirysostigma, Wiedem. It is distinguished by the low insertion 

 of the antennai, the large, thick, curved, second joint of palpi, 

 and the broad and convex abdomen and short proboscis. 

 Ocelli are present. Wings have the first posterior cell closed 

 and an appendix on branch of third vein.
