Observation. A single female specimen agrees with the just 

 described male of G. subdilatatus in the color of the coxse, ana 

 cannot therefore belong to any of the other species known to me ; 

 I am prevented, however, from taking it for the ? of G. subdila- 

 tatus on account of the mgre clumsy shape of the feet.

Green, bright. Face and front covered with whitish dust. An- 

 tennae small, black ; the second joint and the root of the third 

 dusky red. Arista with a short but distinct pubescence. The 

 cilia of the inferior orbit seem to be black. Upper side of the 

 thorax bluish-green and very bright. Upon the surface of the 

 scutellum, besides the usual bristles, there are a few quite imper- 

 ceptible little hairs. The small lamellae of the hypopygium are 

 light-yellowish, with a scarcely perceptible blackish border and 

 crescent shaped. Coxae and feet white-yellowish ; the middle coxa3 

 on the outside almost as far as the tip, and the hind coxas at the 

 root, blackened. The hairs on the feet are somewhat coarse, and 

 the usual row of bristles on the upper side of the fore tibiae con- 

 sists of comparatively long and rather strong bristles. Hind tarsi 

 black from the tip of the first joint ; fore and middle tarsi infus- 

 cated from the same joint. Cilia of the tegulae black ; wings 

 tinged with blackish-gray ; the end of the third and fourth longi-
