narrow, only sligfitly produced beyond the epipygium, rounded 

 at the apex with a very feeble emargiiiation in the middle. 

 The maxillary palpi are rather long, similar to those of 

 Telephoromyia. The second recurrent nervure is received at 

 about one-quarter from the base of the third cubital cell. 



Black ; the mandibles (except at the apex), the clypeus, 

 the anterior maroin of the face, a triangular spot between the 

 eyes and the base of the antennae, an oblique spot on each 

 side above the base of the antenna, a spot close to the summit 

 of the eyes, a band be'.iind the eyes produced more narrowly 

 on the posterior margin of the head and broadly interrupted 

 on the vertex, a small oblique spot on each side behind the 

 posterior ocelli, the margins of tlie pronotum broadly united 

 in the middle, with a small black spot in the middle of the 

 anterior margin, a quadrate spot on the mesonotum, the 

 tegulai and a curved line above them, a spot on the propleuree 

 and a curved baud on the mesopleurse, a transverse band on 

 the middle of the scutellum and a spot at each of the anterior 

 angles, the postscutellum, a broad oblique band on each side 

 of the median segment curved outwardly near the apex, a 

 spot close to the apex of the median segment, a broad band 

 on each of the five basal dorsal segments of the abdomen, 

 narrowly interrupted in the middle on segments 2-5, a spot 

 on the first ventral segment, an interrupted band on ventral 

 segments 2-4 and the coxa? and femora beneath yellow ; the 

 two apical abdominal segments, the tibiae and the tarsi ferru- 

 ginous. Wings hyaline, clouded at the apex of the radial 

 cell, nervures black, the stigma ferruginous. 



Length 15 mm., exp. 25 mm. 



Hah. Mendoza, Argentina ; February. 



The limits of the genera in the Telephoromyia group, in- 

 cluding Spilothynnus and Scotcena, are not yet well understood, 

 the females being very little known. The present species 

 has the clypeus tuberculate as in /S. IcBtus, but the emargi- 

 nation of the clypeus is much narrower. The mandibles 

 differ in the truncation of the inner tooth from S. Icetus and 

 show some approach to Ttl. eoccisa, Turn., but are not as 

 broad as in that species. 



Pseudelaph ropier a haarupi, sp.n. 



? . Head twice as broad as long, convex, shining and 

 smooth, with a few very fine scattered punctures; a short 

 frontal sulcus ; the front almost vertically depressed. Clypeus 

 broadly and shallowly emarginate ; the mandibles falcate 

 with a small tubercle on the inner margin close to the base.
