apical cell open, sometimes narrowly so; hind crossvein strongly 

 sinuate. The genus may be at once distinguished from both Myio- 

 phasia and Phasioclista by its thickly hairy eyes. J\I. robusta Co- 

 quillett belongs to Bnnyomma. 



Bnnyomma robusta Coquillett. — Eyes thickly pubescent (at least 

 in male). Last two abdominal segments and anterior border of sec- 

 ond segment thickly pollinose. Large species. 



California, Mexico. 



Bnnyomma globosa Townsend. — Eyes thickly pubescent in male, 

 bare in female. Male with purplish shining mesoscutum, showing 

 no pollen. Female showing pollen at least anteriorly and on humeri. 

 Small species. The species was described in the male only, and 

 referred to Loewia. Numerous male specimens agree perfectly 

 with the description. The female is without macrochastae on first 

 two abdominal segments, the male having them as in the description.

Tribe EumEGApariini 

 EUMEGAPARIA, gen. nov. 



This genus may be considered intermediate between Megaparia 

 and Dexia, but must be classed with the Tachinidae in the neighbor- 

 hood of the Dexiinas. The oral margin is only slightly prominent 

 and the facio-peristomal profile approaches that of the Megaproso- 

 pinse, but the oral margin is nevertheless sufficiently prominent to 

 destroy the evenly convex outline characteristic of the Megaproso- 

 pine profile. The antennae are short and the mouthparts much re- 

 duced, the proboscis being very short. The mesofacial plate, how- 

 ever, is of good width and length ; the vibrissal angles are widely 

 separated and only feebly convergent, about as high above oral mar- 

 gin as length of second antennal joint. Ptilinal suture terminating 

 well above vibrissal angles. Claws of male very long. Type, Meg- 

 aparia ftaveola Coquillett (No. 6236, U. S. N. M.), Colorado.

 Genus Ptilodexia Brauer and von Bergenstamm
