Hemeromyia. 

 Vibrissae not distinctly above the oral margin (6, 7, 8, 20). 



Agromyza. 

 No distinct vibrissas (see Ephydridas, (25,36). . Pelomyia. 



12. Second basal cell united with the discal cell; first basal cell but 



little longer than the anal (1, 2) . . . Aulacigaster. 

 Discal cell separated from the second basal. . . . . 13 



13. Oral vibrissas present (Milichinas). ..... 14 



Oral vibrissas wanting; postvertical bristles convergent; auxiliary 



vein usually distinct from first longitudinal through a consider- 

 able part of its course (Ochthiphilinas) . .... 21 



14. Costa with a distinct incision before the tip of the first vein. 15 

 Costa not with such incision. ...... 16 



15. First posterior cell narrowed in the margin; posterior orbits with 



a distinct incision (11 12) .... Ophthalmomyia. 



First posterior cell not narrowed in the margin; posterior orbits 



not incised (19) Milichia. 



t I am not sure of the distinction of this genus from Desmometopa.
