26 MYCETOPHILID^E. 



fulvis, alls subcinereis, pedibus fuscescentibus. Long, li-H lin ; alar. 

 2|-3 lin. 



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

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

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

 Wings greyish, very minutely pubescent ; veinlets of the pr^brachial 

 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 ; coxa3 and 

 femora testaceous ; hind tibia? with long spurs and minute spines ; fore 

 tibia3 a little longer than the fore tarsi. 



Not common. (E. I.) 



Genus III. AZANA, n. 



Mas. Caput parvum, thorace humilius. Palpi breves. Antennae validae, 

 compacts, Jiliformes, 16-articulata3, thorace non longiores. Thorax 

 convexus. Alee sat Iata3, mediocriter longas ; vena radialis costse di- 

 midium attingens, cubitalis fere ad alae apicem producta, subapicalis 

 et subanalis simplices, non bene determinates. Halteres longiusculi. 

 Abdomen compressum, mediocriter longum. 



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

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

 Thorax convex. TFings 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.

 apice nigris, pedibus piceis. Long. 1 ; alar. 2 lin. 



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

 ceous, stout, rather short ; hind tibiae with minute spines and rather
