330 INSECTA, | 
Gonypus, Lat.——LeEprTocastErR, Meiq. 
The stilet terminates in a short seta. The abdomen is long and al- 
most linear, and the tarsi are arcuated *. 
In the others, Hybotini, Lat., the head is more rounded, almost en- 
tirely occupied by the eyes, in the males, and its epistoma frequentl 
naked, or but slightly pilose. The probosis is very short. The 
wings present fewer nervures than those of the preceding ones, and 
their inner portion is destitute of that complete triangular cell, 
whose point rests upon the posterior margin, or at least it is merely 
rudimental. 
Sometimes the last joint of the antennz is large, fusiform, elon- 
gated, and terminated by a very small stilet. 
(EpaLea, Meig. 
Sometimes the last joint is ovoid, short, or conical, and with a long 
seta f. 
Hyeos, Meig. Fab.—Damauss, Fab., 
Where the posterior thighs are large and inflated f. 
Ocyproma, Hoffm. Meigq., 
Where they are of an ordinary size §. 
Emeis Lin.—Emrives, Lat., 
Closely allied to Asilus in the form of the body and the position of 
the wings, but with the proboscis perpendicular or directed back- 
wards. The head is rounded and almost giobular; the eyes very 
large. 
These Insects are small and live on prey and the necter of flowers. 
The last joint of their antenne is always terminated by a biarticu- 
lated or short stilet, or by a seta. The males of some species—Ht- 
larie—have the first joint of the anterior tarsi strongly dilated. 
Some have triarticulated antenne. 
Sometimes the last joint forms an elongated cone. 
Here the proboscis is much longer than the head ; the biarticulated 
stilet terminating the antennz is always short. ‘The palpi are always 
turned up. 
Emplis, proper. 
Such in Europe is the 
E. pennipes, Fab.; Panz., Faun. Ins., LXXIV, 18. Black, 
with obscure wings ; posterior legs of the female furnished with hairs 
resembling feathers.

+ Idem. M. Macquart, Dipt. du nord de la France, has established two new 
genera in this division; MicropHora, similar to Gidalea in the elongation of the 
third joint of the antennee, but with an elongated stilet; and LemTopeza, closely 
allied to Ocydromia, but with the stilet entirely terminal, whilst in the latter it is 
inserted in the back of the third joint, a little beneath its extremity.
