This genus was erected for a remarkable • form found in copal 

 from Africa. It is easily recognized by the extremely narrow, long- 

 fringed wings having but one long vein, which latter unites with 

 the anterior margin near the basal 

 third. The tarsi are quadriartic- 

 ulate, the metatarsus being nearly 

 as long as the 3 following seg- 

 ments. The head is small, dis- Fi<^ 65 Wino- of N eo s t e - 

 tinct, the palpi invisible. The an- n o p"t e r a k i"e f f e r i , after 

 tennae are apparently composed of Meunier 

 12 segments, the flagellate ones 



having an elongate, oval, basal enlargement ornamented near the 

 middle with a closely set whorl of long, stout setae apparently re- 

 sembling those of Johnsonomyia Felt. The stem of the fifth anten- 

 nal segment is as long as the basal enlargement. Halteres very 

 long. Type Stenoptera kiefferi Meun.

This genus may be recognized by the 2 simple long veins of the 

 wings terminating at the basal third of the anterior and posterior 

 margins respectively (the wing tip is narrowly rounded, hardly 

 acute) ; the 3 tarsal segments, the first being the longest, and the 4 

 palpal segments. Antenna] segments in the female 10, sessile, cy- 

 lindric, and with a length three-fourths the diameter, thickly haired ; 

 in the male 11, stemmed; ocelli absent. Ovipositor one-fourth the 

 length of the abdomen, somewhat thickened, the lobes slender, se- 

 tose. Type H. pygmaea Winn. 



Only two species are known, the European H. pygmaea 

 having been reared from the bark of rotting trees, and H . 

 transmarina Schin. recorded as bred from small excres- 

 •cences on the leaves of Callistemon.
