PHILIPPINE DIPTERA, II 13 



112. Eriocera verticalis Wiedemann. 1828. 



A couple of specimens from Los Banos and Mount Maquiling. 

 A very peculiar species, known from Java and Japan. The 

 antennae of the present male measure 45 millimeters in length. 



113. Eriocera lativentris sp. nov. 



Closely allied to E. mansueta Osten Sacken in coloration of 

 body and wings, but at once distinguished by the abdomen being 

 more than twice as broad and with the last four segments 

 strongly shining and adorned with violaceous reflections. 



Male. Length of body, 11 to 13 millimeters; of wing, 10 to 12. 

 Head covered with dense gray dust ; antennas with the two basal 

 joints of flagellum more yellow. Thorax, scutellum, and halteres 

 as in E. mansueta. Abdomen narrow at base, but becoming 

 gradually broader, the sixth segment more than twice as broad 

 as the second; abdomen clothed with black hairs; first joint 

 entirely black; second yellow, with a black hind border; third 

 black, with two narrow yellow crossbands at base; fourth 

 black, with a similar band, but narrower; fifth to seventh en- 

 tirely black, but with strong violaceous reflections. Genitalia 

 yellow, with pale yellowish hairs. Venter black, with yellow 

 crossbands on second, third, and fourth segments, that of second 

 much broader than the others. Legs with the coxae entirely 

 black, but the front femora distinctly yellowish near the base; 

 hind legs not thicker than usual. 



Wing pattern as in E. mansueta, but the base narrowly yel- 

 lowish ; first vein issuing from the distal cell not forked ; posterior 

 cross vein distinctly before the middle of the discoidal cell; 

 auxiliary vein ending opposite the marginal cross vein. 



LUZON, Laguna, Los Banos and Mount Maquiling (Baker). 



114. Eriocera crassipes sp. nov. 



Closely allied to Eriocera lativentris, but very distinct. 



Male and female. Length of body (without ovipositor), 9 

 to 11 millimeters; of wing, 10 to 13; of ovipositor, about 5. 

 Head dull black, with blackish dust. Antennae entirely black. 

 Thorax and scutellum opaque, not at all shining as in E. lati- 

 ventris; pleurae black-haired, with some gray dust above. Ab- 

 domen broader than in E. mansueta, but narrower than in 

 E. lativentris, entirely black in both sexes; last five segments 

 shining, but destitute of violaceous reflections. Venter entirely 

 dull black; male genitalia opaque, orange-yellow, with yellowish 

 hairs; ovipositor orange-yellow, opaque, its terminal lamellae 

 very thin and acute, longer than the basal joint. Legs entirely
