LAMB— DIPTERA : LONCH^ID^, SAPROMYZID^, EPHYDRID^, ETC. 345 



The following species are more rounded in form, resembling A. ceneiventris, Fallen. 



53. Agromyza funehris, n. sp. 



Two specimens were collected of this species which is entirely somewhat dull black 

 in colour. 



Head (PI. 16, %■ 20). Frons dull brown black ; a well marked frontal triangle, and 

 broad eye-margins separated from the rest of the frons by a browner space. The fronto- 

 orbital bristles stand on small shining spots. Face with the base of the antennae rather 

 sunk in, so that the first joint of the latter is hidden. Antennae black with a very 

 small thick third joint and pubescent arista. Jowls very narrow, mouth margin slightly 

 prominent; vibrissse small. 



Four froiito-orbital bristles which do not converge, inner and outer verticals of about 

 the same length; parallel ocellars, divergent post-verticals. 



Thorax. Subquadrate, apparently with only two dorso-central bristles and many 

 irregular achrostical bristles. Scutellum rounded in outline with four bristles. 



Wings glassy with brown veins; the veins as in Fig. 30, where tlie basal part is 

 left out as it could not be properly seen. 



Halters black. 



Legs all black. 



Fig. 30. Agroinyza funebris, n. sp., wing. 



Abdomen all black clothed with short bristles. 

 Size. 1^ mm. 



Localities. Seychelles. Silhouette: near Mont Pot-k-eau, about 1500 ft., YIII. 

 1908. Mahe: Cascade Estate, about 1000 ft. 



54. Agromyza candidipennis, n. sp. 



This is an entirely shining black insect with markedly milky wings. 



Head (PI. 16, fig. 21). Vertex and frons entirely black, rather shining; the frontal 

 triangle more shining with its base about one-half the distance between the eyes, with 

 a pointed end, the sides slightly concave, it extends about two-thirds of the way from the 

 vertex to the boundary of the lunula. The lunula is roughly semicircular in outline. 

 Eye-margins shining like the frontal triangle. Face black, sunk in from the lunula to the 

 mouth-margin so that in profile the base of the antennae is hidden. Palpi short and stout, 

 somewhat swollen ; tongue brownish. 



Eyes large, bare. 



Antennaj black, second joint with a bristle; third joint rounded and rather small, 

 arista black and bare ( x 45). Fronto-orbital bristles four, equally .spaced and somewhat 

 convergent; long inner' and shorter outer verticals, ocellars, and divergent post- verticals.
