186 EMBRIK STRAND, 
at the base, with a suleus from the base to beyond the middle. 
Seventh dorsal segment deflexed, very sparsely punctured and very 
narrowly truncate at the apex. Hypopygium narrow, rounded at 
the apex and projeeting very little beyond the dorsal segment. The 
nervure dividing the first cubital cell is indicated by a strong scar. 
Black; the mandibles (except at the apex), the middle of the 
clypeus and the anterior margin (except the produced anterior angles 
of the emargination), the margins of the eyes broadly as high as 
the base of the antennae, a line on the lateral and posterior margins- 
of the head broadly interrupted on the vertex, a spot on each side 
between the antennae, the margins of the pronotum narrowly inter- 
rupted in the middle, the tegulae, a small spot above the tegulae, 
a large spot near the posterior margin of the mesonotum, a large 
spot on the scutellum and a small spot at the anterior angles, the 
postscutellum, a curved mark on the mesopleurae below the base 
of the anterior wings, a broad oblique band on each side of the 
median segment, a transverse band, very narrow in the middle, 
near the apex of the first dorsal abdominal segment, a large spot 
on each side of the second, third and fourth segment, the apical 
half of the coxae beneath and the femora beneath and at the apex 
yellow: the tibiae and tarsi yellow stained with ferruginous, most 
strongly on the anterior legs. Wings hyaline with a pale fuscous 
tinge; nervures fuscous, ferruginous at the base and on the costa, 
stigma ferruginous. 
Length 15 mm, exp. 26 mm. 
Hab. Santa Catarina, South Brazil. (Purchased from H. Rorre.) 
Type in British Museum. 
Olosely resembles some of the smaller species of Elaphropistt 
of the l/ateralis group in shape and colour, but the mandibles, 
clypeus and antennae separate it from that genus and connect it 
with Telephoromyyia. 
Telephoromyia exsecta n. Sp. 
(Bl..11,.B30, 49): 
d. Mandibles tridentate, not elbowed, the outer tooth long and 
acute, the second short and rather blunt, the inner bent upwards 
and resting in the emargination of the elypeus when the mandibles 
are closed. Maxillary palpi rather slender and long, the four apical 
joints of almost equal length. Clypeus finely and very shallowly
