Allied to Micromyia Rond. on account of the greatly enlarged 

 second antennal segment, though easily separated therefrom by the 

 absence of the fourth vein. The latter character indicates a re- 

 lationship with Trichopteromyia Will, from which it may be sepa- 

 rated by the greatly reduced antennal segments with only 6 short, 

 sessile segments.
