fulvis, alis subcinereis, pedibus fuscescentibus. Long, li 1-g- lin ; alar. 

 2i-3 lin. 



Blackish-brown, with grey tomentum. Palpi testaceous. Antennae 

 incrassatecl, subfusiform, not more than half the length of the body, 

 tawny at the base. Thorax icith a tawny spot on each side in front. 

 Wings greyish, very minutely pubescent ; veinlets of the praebrachial 

 areolet forming a slightly acute angle, the hind one much more than 

 twice the length of the fore one, and much longer than the subapical 

 vein before its fork ; fork of the subanal vein hardly nearer than the 

 fork of the subapical to the base of the wing ; anal vein extending to 

 the fork of the subanal. Halteres testaceous. Hind borders of the ab- 

 dominal segments testaceous. Legs brownish, rather stout ; coxse and 

 femora testaceous ; hind tibiae with long spurs and minute spines ; fore 

 tibiae a little longer than the fore tarsi. 



Not common. (E. I.) 



Genus III. AZANA, n. 



Mas. Caput parvum, thorace Immilius. Palpi breves. Antennae validce, 

 compacts, filiformes, 16-articulatse, thorace non longiores. Thorax 

 convexus. Alee sat latae, mediocriter longae ; vena radialis costae di- 

 midium attingens, cubitalis fere ad alae apicem products, subapicalis 

 et subanalis simplices, non bene determinate, Halteres longiusculi. 

 Abdomen compressum, mediocriter longum. 



Male. Head small, lower than the thorax. Palpi short. Antennae 

 stout, compact, filiform, sixteen -jointed, not longer than the thorax. 

 Thorax convex. Wings rather broad, of moderate length ; radial vein 

 straight, ending at a little before half the length of the wing ; cubital 

 straight, springing from the base of the wing, united by a little trans- 

 verse veinlet with the radial at one-sixth of the length, ending at five- 

 sixths of the length ; subapical vein and subanal vein simple, secondary. 

 Halteres rather long. Abdomen compressed, of moderate length. 



This genus is also nearly allied to Mycetophila, but is suffi- 

 ciently distinguished by the veins of its wings.

Black. Wings greyish. Halteres tawny ; knobs black. Legs pi-
