A Systematic Study of the Anthomyiinae of New York 37 



Pulvilli infuscated. Wings slightly yellowish; veins yellowish brown. Calyptrae yellowish 

 white. Halteres yellow. 



Head, in profile, slightly longer from vertex to oral margin than from occipital region to 

 base of antennae. Eyes separated, at narrowest part, by a distance slightly greater than that 

 between posterior oceUi; parafrontals not contiguous. Parafacials, in profile, prominent, at 

 base of antennae equal in width to length of third antennal segment; cheeks elongate, produced 

 anteriorly; vibrissa! area covered with numerous fine setae; oral margin somewhat produced 

 anteriorly. Antennae short, separated by a narrow, distinct, facial prominence; third 

 antennal segment one and one-half times as long as broad; arista minutely pubescent. Pro- 

 boscis elongate, slender, nearly equal to length of thorax. Thorax with numerous fine accessory 

 setulae; presutural acrosticals with two pairs of well-developed bristles besides a dense series 

 of fine setulae which continue posteriorly along the mesonotum. Pra short, about one-half 

 length of the following bristle; posthumeral bristles not duplicated. Sternopleural bristles, 

 1:2, with a third weaker bristle ventrad of the upper posterior pair. Abdomen depressed, 

 gradually tapering to apex; hypopygium slightly thickened; processes of fifth sternum fringed 

 on inner margins with fine hairs. Pore femur with a short median series of setulae on anterior 

 surface; fore tibia with one dorsal and one median posteroventral bristle. Mid femur with two 

 proximal anteroventral bristles and a proximal row of posteroventral bristles; mid tibia with 

 one anterodorsal, two posterodorsal, and two or three posteroventral bristles. Hind femur with 

 a complete series of strong anteroventral bristles and an interrupted ssries of posteroventral 

 bristles; hind tibia with five anteroventral, four or five short, uniform, anterodorsal, and three 

 or four posterodorsal bristles; posterior surface with two or three setulae on proximal half; 

 a short, stout, curved, anteroventral apical bristle. Tarsal claws and pulviUi well developed. 

 Costal thorn minute, indistinguishable from costal setulae; the apices of veins Ri+g, and 

 Mi+2 converging noticeably; m-cu cross-vein straight. Upper calyptra covering the lower. 

 Length, 6 mm. 



Locality. — 19, Hempstead, Long Island, September 16, 1921; 26, 19, September 11, 

 1921. 



Allotype. — In author's collection. 



The male of Macateeia protuberans Mall, differs most noticeably from 

 that of M. atra Mall, in the breadth of the frons. One of the male speci- 

 mens possesses a fine setula on the hypopleura immediately caudad of 

 the posterior pair of sternopleural bristles. 



All the specimens were collected on the flowers of goldenrod.

Male. — Grayish black, with dense yellowish gray pollen. Head with frontal vitta, para- 

 facials, parafrontals, and cheeks, reddish to black, whitish gray pruinose; occipital region and 

 face grayish. First and second antennal segments reddish orange; third segment black; 

 arista with distal part testaceous to blackish, the proximal part, namely the first and second 

 segments, and the basal sweUing of the third segment, blackish. Palpi yellowish testaceous, 

 the distal half infuscated. Proboscis fuscous, somewhat slender. Thorax grayish, with 

 yellowish pollen; when viewed from above and behind, the presutural and humeral regions 

 with lighter grayish pollen than the postsutural area; a distinct dark median vitta on presutural 

 region) which becomes suffused and indefinite caudad; sides of disk with dark lateral fascia; 

 macrochaetae with dark basal spots on notum. Abdomen, viewed from above and behind, 

 with dense yellowish gray pollen; a narrow, dark, dorsocentral vitta which is mterrupted 

 slightly at posterior border of each tergum. Legs yellowish; coxae and trochanters slightly
