 rotundi remoti : frons lata glabra setosa : abdomen oblongum,

 tip, with the 3d and 4th longitudinal nervures there approaching ; 

 the 4th is not continued quite to the root of the wing, but curved 

 to meet the 5th ; the first is double, with the branches entirely 

 separated, as in Ortalis, and neither merging in the costa as in 

 Piophila : the face is more convex, the antennae reposed in deep 

 foveolae : the legs long and thicker than in Piophila.
