60 c Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913-18 



FEMALES. 



1. Anterior thoracic spiracle with yellow-haired covering-flap; calyptrae white, .regina Meigen. 



Anterior thoracic spiracle with black-haired covering-flap; calyptrse brown 2 



'_'. Anterior spiracle very large; orbit about one-half as wide as interfrontalia, face much 



produced below caerula, n. sp. 



Anterior spiracle not very large; orbit less than one-third as wide as interfrontalia below 

 anterior ocellus; face moderately produced below ternr-novce Robin eau-Desvoidy . 



ANTHOMYIID^:. 



The larvae of this family are in most cases either scavengers or phytophagous, 

 the greater number belonging to the former category. A few species are aquatic 

 in the larval and pupal stages, and some in the present collection belong to this 

 group. 



The imagines of the genus Fucellia, and those of the subfamily Coenosiinse 

 are predaceous, feeding upon other insects, especially Diptera. 



Recently I published a key to the subfamilies of Anthomyiidse in The 

 Canadian Entomologist, which key may be used to advantage in connexion with 

 the present paper, as the characters used in the key are the basis for the sub- 

 family groupings in this paper. 1 



As two of the genera dealt with in this paper are now described for the 

 first time I have given a key to the genera dealt with as an aid to the recognition 

 of the new forms.- 



KEYS TO GENERA OF PHAONIN^E IN COLLECTION. 



MALES.

characters 5
