marginal pair; anal with a submarginal row of six. Legs black, claws 

 and pulvilli rather elongate, pulvilli whitish. Wings grayish hyaline, basal 

 portion and wing veins yellowish; tegulae soft brownish yellow, halteres 

 tawny. Length of body 4.5 mm.; of wing 4 mm. 



Described from one specimen; So. Florida (Robertson). This 

 genus differs from Ennyomma Twns. in the closed apical cell, 

 which terminates just before tip of wing. 



ATROPHOPALPUS n. gen. 

 Considerably resembling Ceratomyiel/a, but differs in the char- 

 acter of the palpi. Belongs in Phytoinae. Head more or less 

 triangular in profile. Front rather prominent, narrow in % , 

 about one-fifth width of head, widened before, face widening at 

 same angle; frontal bristles in a single row, descending on sides 

 of face to lower border of eyes; vertical and next two pairs di- 

 rected backward, rest forward and inward, the descending ones 

 downward; no orbital bristles {%). Face receding, epistoma 

 somewhat prominent; facial depression two-thirds width of face, 

 not deep ; facial ridges bare, except a bristle or two next vibrissae, 

 latter inserted at constriction of ridges about on oral margin, 

 rather stout, decussate; sides of face narrow, bare except for the 

 fringe of descending frontal bristles; cheeks nearly one-third eye- 

 hight, hairy. Eyes very thinly hairy, almost bare. Antennae 

 as long as face, second joint not elongate, third about five times 

 as long as second, narrow; aristq thickened on basal third, mi- 

 croscopically pubescent, apparently only 2-jointed. basal joint 

 short. Proboscis somewhat elongate, about as long as hight of 

 head, not very stout, labella present; palpi very small, short fili- 

 form, terminating in a long bristle. Thorax about as wide as 

 head; scutellum with an apical decussate, and two lateral pairs 

 of macrochaetae. Abdomen narrower than thorax, elongate cy- 

 lindro-conical, first segment not shortened; macrochaetae only 

 marginal; hypopygium more or less exserted. Legs rather long 

 and slender, not very bristly; claws and pulvilli of $ rather elon- 

 gate, front ones apparently longest. Wings a little longer than 

 abdomen, with costal spine, third vein bristly half way to small 

 cross-vein ; apical cell closed in border at tip of wing, fourth vein 

 bent at wide angle, without stump or wrinkle, apical cross- vein 

 very slightly concave; hind cross- vein nearly straight, rather 

 oblique, nearer to bend of fourth vein. Type, A. angusticornis 

 n. sp.
