288 Professor Willi ston on the 



Rhamphidia. 



Meigen, Syst. Beschr., vi., 281, 1830. 



1. Rhamphidia alhitarsis. (PI. X., figs. 59, wing ; 

 59a, liypopygium.) 



Rhamphidia alhitarsis, Osten Sack en, Berl. Ent. 



Zeitschr., xxxi., 184, 1887. 

 Hah. Porto Rico. 



Two specimens, male and female, agreeing well with 

 tlis description. 



Elephantomyia. 



Osten Sacken, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil., 1859. 



1. EJephantomyia longirostrisj n. sp. 



$ . Proboscis about one and a-balf times the length of the 

 body ; wings with a brown stigma and brownish clouds along the 

 cross- veins. Length of body 6 mm, of proboscis ^^ mm. 



Head yellow. Proboscis very distinctly longer than the body,, 

 finely pubescent. Antennae brownish-yellow ; basal joints yellow, 

 the verticils black. Thorax yellow ; a rather broad, brownish 

 stripe along the middle, and a shorter, similarly coloured one on 

 each side. Halteres yellow. Abdomen light yellow, with a broad^ 

 brown band on the posterior part of each segment ; forceps 

 brownish. Wings lightly 'tinged with brownish ; with distinct 

 brownish or brown clouds along the distal part of the costa, and 

 along the cross-veins. Legs yellow ; femora brown at tip ;, 

 neuration as ia E. westwoodi, O. S. 



This species is evidently closely allied to the type of 

 the genus, and I at first believed that it was the same-, 

 but the more elongate proboscis and the brownish clouds 

 of the wings seem sufficient to separate them.
