halteres. From this latter it may be distinguished by the posi- 
tion of the subcostal cross-vein and from the former by the 
body being more yellow, wings narrower and in having three 
brown stripes on the thorax. In halterata the pleura of the 
hypopygium are quite as large as the lobes that are appended 
to them, while in particeps they are much smaller than the lobes. 
Dicranomyia adjecta n. sp.—Yellowish brown; head, rostrum, palpi and 
antennae darker brown; first three joints of the flagellum rather globu- 
lar, others more cylindrical, all distinctly pedicellate ; thorax yellowish 
brown; dorsal stripes faintly or not 
at all indicated; pleura yellowish, 
with a broad, brown band from the 
collare to the base of the halteres; 
halteres long, infuscated; coxae 
yellowish; legs tawny; extreme tip of the femora lighter; tarsi darker; 
abdomen brown, lighter below; basal lobes of hypopygium dark brown, 
lamella lighter brown; ovipositor ferruginous, blackish at the base; lower 
valves straight, rather heavy; upper valves more slender, slightly arcu- 
ated; wings hyaline; veins and stigma brown; auxiliary vein reaching a 
little beyond the origin of the praefurca, subcostal cross-vein at its tip; 
first longitudinal vein fading out a little beyond the marginal cross-vein 
before reaching the margin of the wing: discal cell closed. Length 7 
mm., wing 9 mm.

May at once be distinguished from halterata, which it re- 
sembles somewhat, by the position of the subcostal cross-vein.

with three darker brown stripes, the median one extending over the col- 
lare; scutullem and metanotum 
and the tips of the femora and a 
tibiz darker; halteres whitish, ons ae 
infuscated toward the tips, knobs 
brown; tergum but little swollen, pleura about as large as lobes, basal 
half yellowish, distal half brownish; ventral style strongly recurved at 
the tip; wings with a very light brown tinge; stigma pale, indistinct; tip 
subcostal cross-vein from the tip of the auxiliary vein equal to one-half

Dicranomsia cervina, n. sp.—Brown; head brownish, darker above; ros-

brown; abdomen brown, much lighter below; hypopygium yellowish 
of the auxiliary vein beyond the origin of the praefurca; distance of the
