This jiaper is a continuation of the |)receJiii<;- parts nnder 

 this title. Tlie niatei ial inchuled herein is based on collections 

 made in Canieioun by the lie v. J. A. Reis and in Eastern 

 Transvaal by j\Ir. H. K. Munro. In addili'^n, a few species 

 from the Paris Museum sent to me for determination by the 

 Curator of the Diptera, Moui^. Eng'. He^iiy, have been

Head moderatel}' large, the eyes separated loth above and 

 Ijelow. L'-gs long- and slender ; tibiaj unspurred ; claws 

 small, simple, subterminal, empodia present. Wings with 

 vi-in Sc very long, Sci ending opposite cross-vein r ; Scs far 

 before tlie tip of Sci, the latter vein alone being about equal 

 to the basal deflection of Bi^-j ; r [present, located far before 

 the tip of Z?i, this portion of liy beyond r being a little longer 

 than the deflection of -S4+5 ; cell Isl J/g open by the atropjiy 

 of the outer deflt-ction of J/3; basal defleciion of Ch, at the 

 tbik of M ; anal veins long and straight. Male hypopygium 

 with the ninth tergite small, the caudal margin feebly con- 

 cave ; pleurites n»oderately elongated, the proximal face with 

 a cushion of numerous short spinules ; pleural appendages 

 two, the outer aj)peiulage shortest, flattened, the apex ol)tuse ; 

 inner pleural appendage larger and more elongated, irregu-
