very conspicuous on the dorsum of the thorax and have pear- 

 shaped outlines, the stalk of the pear pointing in the direction to- 

 wards which the bristle that arises from it slopes. The bristles on 

 the genital apparatus of the male appear to have similar characters, 

 but are straight or nearly so, and arise from circular sockets. The 

 hairs on the wings, and many of those on the body and legs, are not 

 provided with sockets with raised rims, but there are fine bristles 

 on nearly all parts of the body with sockets whose rims are a little 

 raised. The chsetse of the superior appendages of the male are 

 flattened and have a yellowish colour. They have not depressed 

 sockets, but arise from bases more or less clearly raised and differen- 

 tiated from the general surface of the appendage to which they 

 belong. The claws on the feet are very small and inconspicuous.
