Bi'ptera of St. Vincent {West Indies), 441 



located albipes with precatoria, in wliicli there is a '' dis- 

 coidal areolet/' and which should, therefore, belong in 

 Coquillett's Mantipeza. He also describes the body as 

 being " fulvo-canis " in colour, with a " slight tawny 

 tinge,'' while Coquillett calls the '' thorax and abdomen 

 black/' If Mr. Coquillett has information concerning the 

 type, then Walker's description should be cancelled in 

 totOj and the species rest upon Coquillett's diagnosis. 



3. Anal cell present, second basal and discal cells 

 united ; second posterior cell sessile. — Neoplasia of 

 Coquillett. 



4. Anal cell wanting ; second basal cell present and 

 elongated; discal cell wanting. — Microdromia of 

 Bigot. 



This includes the species described above, and a num- 

 ber of others. 



If Thomson is correct in his reference of H. analis, 

 then there is yet another group, differing from Neoplasia 

 in the second posterior cell being complete.
