236 C. R. Osten Sacken: Diptera 



I refer, with a doubt, to tliis description a species which seems to 

 be common in tlie Philippines, as it is represented by a dozen spe- 

 cimens. They vary in size from 7 — 8 mm. in length and 10 — 11 mm. 

 in breadth from eye to eye, to 4 — 5 mm. in lengtb and 3-4 mm. in 

 breadth. The Teleopsis longiscopium Rond. (= breviscopium Rond.) 

 must be a closely allied, if not the same, species. 



3. Teleopsis motatrioo n. sp. Body black; head and front 

 femora rufous; legs with sparse, ßne hairs; wings with a Single 

 distinct hrown crosshand on the distal half. Leng-th: 5—8 mm. 

 breadth of head, from eye to eye 5 — 14 mm. 



Head rufous sometimes reddish-yellow ; ocular peduncles brown; an- 

 tennae brown, reddish on the underside of the third Joint; the usual 

 bristle-bearing spines are of moderate size, midway between the eyes 

 and the ocelli in the specimens with short oculiferous stalks, and com- 

 paratively nearer to the ocelli in those with long ones. Thorax with all 

 its spines black or dark brown, shining; scutellar spines large, curved; 

 the pair above the root of the wings are straight, more than half as 

 long as those of the scutellum; the lower pair much smaller. Halteres 

 reddish. Abdomen brown, reddish at the base. Legs brownish; front 

 femora incrassated, reddish-yellow or yellowish-red, brownish at base; 

 the coxae brown; front tarsi paler brown. The whole body, including 

 the legs, is clothed with very sparse delicate hairs. Wings subhyaline, 

 with a brown crossband before the tip; its distal margin coincides on 

 the Costa with the end of the second vein ; it is a little broader in the 

 middle than at the ends, as it is convex on the proximal side; the 

 anterior crossvein is slightly clouded, and there is a very faint oblique

cloud between it and the postei-ior margin; another cloud between that 

 margin and the end of the anal cell; a very minute cloud, which re- 

 sembles a crossvein, in the marginal cell ; all these clouds are paler 

 than the apical crossband. — Five specimens, four of which fragments 

 without abdomen ; in the only specimen which has one, it is remarkably 

 slender. 



4. Teleopsis selecta ri. sp. Head yellow; vertical bristles 

 developed into strong spines^ which are yellowish-white at the
