INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 179 



Dicranomyia (Euglochina) curtivena, new species. 



Male. — Length, 7 mm. ; wing, 6.8 mm. 



Rostrum obscure yellow, the palpi dark brown. Antennae 

 dark brown. Head dark brown, the anterior part of the vertex 

 pale. 



Thorax pale brown, the pleura indistinctly pruinose. Halteres 

 very long, pale, the knobs brown. Legs with the coxae and 

 trochanters concolorous with the pleura ; f ermora and tibiae 

 black ; tarsi white. Wings faintly inf uscated, especially the apex 

 beyond the cord ; stigma barely indicated, very pale ; veins 

 brown. Venation: Sc short, the distance between the tip of 

 Sc^ and the origin of Rs about one and one-half times the 

 distance from the origin of Rs to the tip of the vein i^a+s* 

 Sc^ close to the tip of Sc^ ; Rs angulated and spurred just 

 beyond midlength, r at tip of R-^ ; deflection of i^^+r, 3- little 

 shorter than Rs; cell ist M., a little longer than vein Cu-^ beyond 

 it; basal deflection of Cu^ from one-third to one-fourth its 

 length beyond the fork of M ; origin of vein 2nd A in the anal 

 angle immediately distad of the level of arculus. 



Abdominal tergites dark brown ; sternites obscure yellow. 



Holotyye, male, Gifu, September 3, 1921 (K. Takeuchi). 



Dicranomyia {Euglochina) curtivena is very distinct from 

 the type of the subgenus, D. (E.) saltens (Dol.) (syn., 

 D. cuneiformis Meij.) in the details of venation. The specimen 

 determined by Brunetti (Fauna British India, Diptera Nema- 

 tocera, p. 373, 1912) as being this species is obviously not 

 saltens and is undescribed. For this species with infuscated 

 bases to the metatarsi (Dawna Hills, India, altitude 2,000-3,000 

 feet, March 2-3, 1908), I propose the name D. (£.) fuscibasis, 

 new species. 



Dicranomyia takeuchii, new species. 



Male. — Length, 7 mm. ; wing, 7.-5 mm. 



Rostrum and palpi dark brown. Antennal scape black ; basal 

 half of flagellum obscure yellow, the terminal flagellar seg- 

 ments passing into dark brown ; flagellar segments oval. Head 

 shiny ])lack.
