133 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ M^NSTRUUS 



under and inner side about the middle have two or three 

 short stout spines, the tips straight; from there to the base are 

 irregular hairs, some short, some long, and approaching bristles 

 in size. On the outer edge of under side are only short hairs 

 all along, or a few bristly hairs near the apex. Hind tibia 

 with no even swelling or bump, but an abrupt blunt point 

 sticking up like a tree-stump. 



Described from three males, two on 28th July from Michel, 

 British Columbia, about 4,000 feet, and one, 15th August, 

 Gallatin County, Montana, 5,400 feet. 



This latter specimen was sent me by Prof. Cooley, and I 

 had marked it abnormalis thinking it such. When I took the 

 other two I examined the interior of the hypopygium and 

 found it distinct. 



I have returned a Michel male to Prof. Cooley. 



The types of all species are in the collection of the author. 

 Paratypes will be deposited as follows : Postleria fuscolineata, 

 male and female, to the U. S. National Museum, the Canadian 

 National Collection, and to Dr. J. M. Aldrich ; Amoebaleria 

 gigas to the same, and also to Dr. Ferris, Leland Stanford Jr. 

 University, Professor Cooley, Bozeman, Mont., and Dr. C. W. 

 Johnson, Boston, Mass. ; one female of Leria aldrichi to Dr. 

 Aldrich ; one female of Morpholeria melaneura to the U. S. 

 National Museum and Canadian National Collection ; one male 

 of Acantholeria abnormalis to Professor Cooley. 



SOME NEW MUSCOID GENERA ANCIENT 

 AND RECENT 



By CHARLES H. T. TOWNSEND 



The following new genera are proposed at this time in order 

 that they may be included in a forthcoming treatment of the 

 muscoid genera of the world. 



AusTENiNA gen. nov. — Proposed for Glossina brevipalpis 

 Newstead (1910), Ann. Trop. Med. Paras, IV, 372. Differs 

 from Newsteadina by the comparatively short palpi. 



AwATiA gen. nov. — Proposed for Musca indica Awati
