Described from four males and three females collected in India by Dr. A. D. Imms 

 at the following places and dates. 



Dehra Dun: 1& 19. hi. 13; 1$, l,iv,13; 1$, 9.iv.l3; 1<J, 18.iv.13— all 

 taken on grass. 



Binsar, Kumaon : 1$, 23. v. 12, 7,900 ft. ; 1 $, 24. v. 12, 7,700 ft. 



Kalligan Range, Jaunsar : 1$, 3.x. 12. 



This species is closely related to S. lurida, Fab., of Europe. It can be easily 

 separated from this species however by the conspicuous pale abdominal bands, by 

 the appendage- like fold at the bend of M. 1 +2, and by its slightly greater width of 

 front. 



Servillia ursinoidea, sp. n. ~- 



An unusually large fly without any striking colour markings. Head thorax and 

 abdomen with abundant long straw-coloured pile, as well as the usual bristles and 

 macrochaetae. Sides of abdominal segments reddish. Wings hyaline. Third seg- 

 ment of antenna in male as broad as long. Width of front in male at narrowest 

 point half to two-thirds the width of either eye. Length, 14 to 17 mm. 



Head (fig. 5) at vibrissae as long as at base of antennae ; vibrissae far above the 

 oral margin. Palpi well developed, yellow. Eyes bare. Cheeks (genae) pale golden 

 pollinose, covered almost to the eyes with long straw-coloured pile ; around the 

 oral margin a single row of black bristles ; the distance from the oral margin to the 

 lower end of eye is almost as great as the eye height. Sides of face pale golden 

 pollinose, thickly covered with long pale golden pile ; about one-third as wide as 

 widest part of facial depression. Facial ridges with bristles confined to lowest 

 fifth. Facial depression whitish pollinos'e, with no carina. All three segments of 

 the antenna black, the second varying however to reddish ; the second segment in the 

 male a httle longer than the third ; the third segment in the male unusually broad, 

 in fact as broad as long. The arista thickened on basal two-thirds, the second segment 

 about a fourth as long as the third. Front in male at narrowest point about three- 

 fourths the width of either eye ; black, but in some specimens the colour largely 

 masked by golden pollinosity. The frontal vitta opaque and about the colour of the
