WILLISTON: DIPTERA BRASILIANA. 9 
the relationship is the nearest, are not uncommon in Brazil, appar- 
ently. The figure of the head given by me is incorrect, in that the 
clypeus is not distinguished from the lower part of the face. 
Sapromyza rubescens Macquart. Dipt. Exot. ii, 3,345; Schiner,, Novara 
Dipt. 279; F. Lynch A., An. Soc. Cient. Arg, xxxiv, . Sapromyza latelim- 
bata Macquart, Dipt. Exot. Suppl. v, 120, pl. vi, f. 18 (Lynch). 
Male, female. Head yellow. Front less than one-third of the 
width of the head, a very little wider below, with the usual strong 
bristles; the proclinate ocellar bristles small. Antenne light red- 
dish yellow, the third joint oval, rather more than twice as long as 
broad; arista black, moderately plumose. Palpi yellow. Thorax 
yellow, the mesonotum light reddish yellow; scutellum plane. Ab- 
domen brownish yellow or yellowish brown. Legs yellow; 
all the tarsi (except the middle metatarsi), and the distal por- 
tion of the hind tibia brownish. Wings lutescent hyaline, the cos- 
ta to beyond the fourth vein, and moderately broad clouds on the 
cross-veins, dark brown; the brown of the mz 
‘inal cell for the first 
half does not quite reach the second vein; first vein very short, its 
termination about opposite the first section of the third vein; ulti- 
mate section of the fourth vein only a little longer than the penul- 
timate section. Length 5 millim. 
Eight specimens, Chapada and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Wiedemann speaks of only two spots in the apical clouding of 
the wings; in the specimens before me there are three. and some- 
times four. 
Sapromyza contigua (Fabr.) Wiedemann, Auss. zw. Ins. ii, 450; Schiner, No- 
vata Dipt. 279; F\. Lynch A , An. Soc. Cient. Arg. xxxiv, 290. 
Two specimens Chapada, agreeing well with the description. A 
third specimen from the same place differs in having the abdomen 
black. A fourth specimen, from Rio de Janeiro is perhaps specifi- 
Cally different. It-agrees in everything save that the fourth vein is 
clouded nearly to the cloud of the cross-vein and the margin of the 
scutellum has two black spots.
