stripe rnmiinj; almost the whole len<i;th of f(Mnnr. not only 

 black at the apex. Coiifti/in w'xth 1ar«;e black u[) per forceps, 

 covered with long white hairs al)ovc and below, the under 

 forceps small, the yellow organs long. The figure by 

 Macquart appears to be that of a female, and the bend of 

 discai cell into the first posterior cell is not shown in the 

 figure of the wings, which are only slightly dilated in these 

 specimens and are quite clear. 



Length 18 mm., .Macquart gives 16 mm. 



In spite of the figure of wing, 1 believe this species 

 belongs to this genus.

One female from Coimbatore (T. V. R. Coll.), S. India, 

 in I. E. E. Coll. 



One specimen from Bangalore, same collection. 



These appear to belong to the above species, wiiieh is dis- 

 tinguished from Synolcus iatnemis, Wlk., by the short black 

 stripe on the femora confined to the apical third, and 

 according to v. d. Wulp by the non-dilation of the wings in 

 male. 



Length circa 22 mm. of above female. 



V. d. Wulp removed it to this genus.
