Observations. — Described from a single ? . The adornment of 

 the thorax and legs will at once separate it from others of this 

 genus. It presents certain aberrations which, however, are not 

 sufhcient'-to separate it on one- sex characters alone from Stego- 

 myia. These characters are the long raggedly arranged ventral 

 scales, the somewhat longer palpi and the somewhat broader wing- 

 scales ; these differences are, however, more of size than of 

 structure.
