three sternopleurals present; antennal 



arista plumose. Syllegoptera. Europe. 



.... (SYLLEGOPTERIN,E) . . DEXiiD^: in part 



oo. Mi+2 bent, hence cell RS narrowed in the

mm. Conjunctiva of the ventral sclerites invisible 



(fig. i6ia). 



n. Second ventral sclerite of the abdomen lying 

 with its edges either upon or in contact with 

 the ventral edges of the corresponding 

 dorsal sclerite. 



o. Outermost posthumeral almost always lower 

 (more ventrad) in position than the pre- 

 sutural macrochasta; fifth ventral abdomi-

(fig. 106) SARCOPHAGID^ 



p. Fifth ventral sclerite of the male either

 segments with straight posterior mar-
