Agrees well, but the scutellum (even in the typical specimen) 

 has only four spines, and not six, as Walker has it. 



Phyllophora angusta Wk. 1. c. 7 (Singapore) 1 would take for 

 Tinda if it was not for the mention of « two cinereous stripes 

 on the thorax ». 



NB. That Tinda is the same as Phyllophora Macq. D. E. I, 

 1, 178, Tab. 22, f. 1 (an african species), is far from certain, 

 the data in Macquart's description being insufficient. The elon- 

 gated terminal portion of the third antennal joint in T. modi- 

 fera is more than three times as long as the coalescent three 

 portions forming the base of that joint ; in Phylloph. nigra it is 

 said to be only twice as long, and has a different shape (lan- 

 ceolate and not linear). The front in Macquart's figure (1 and 

 1 a) is represented as much larger than that of Tinda modifera. 

 The name Phyllophora is, at any rate preoccupied. 



The identity of Tinda with Elasma Jaenn. Neue Exot. Dipt. 

 14, Tab. I, f. 3, I look upon as almost certain ; the peculiarities 

 of the venation (absence of the small crossvein, the third vein 

 apparently issuing from the side of the discal cell) common to both, 

 are especially convincing. The last antennal joint is figured by 

 Jaennicke as narrower than that of Tinda. The species, E. acan- 

 thinoidea (Java) must be different from T. modifera, the thorax 

 being more coarsely punctate, the pleurae and abdomen whitish 

 pubescent, etc.
