SOME NEW SPECIES OF TACHINIDAE FROM INDIA. 



55 



enlarged ; no bristles on flexor surface of any of the tibiae. Wings (fig. 10) dark 

 brown ; cell R. 5 opening slightly before the extreme tip of wing ; a very few 

 bristles at base of R. 4+5 (third vein). Tegulae white. 



Abdomen rather long and cylindrical ; black and rather weakly grey polhnose. 

 Disca bristles as well as marginal ones on each segment after the first. 



i'ig. 10. Wing of Paraphania fuscipennis, sp, n; 



described from a single male collected by Dr. A. D. Imms, on 13th June 1912, 

 at Chabuttia, Kumaon, India. 



Of the affinities of this fly I am not at all sure, but in the absence of comparative 

 material it seems more desirable to place it provisionally in Brauer and Bergenstamm's 

 genus Paraphania than to propose a new genus for its reception. Zambesa ocyp- 

 teroides, Walker, listed by V. d. Wulp from Singapore I have not seen, and the 

 description is too meagre to have much value. Duvaucelia (Curtocera) bicincta, 

 R. D., listed by V. d. Wulp from Bengal I have not seen either. 



Chaetoplagia asiatica, sp. n. 



Upper part of head and thorax golden pol'mose. Palpi yellow ; cheeks (genae) 

 as well as sides of face bearing strong macrochaetae. R. 1 (first vein) bristly on 

 its entire length ; R. 4 +5 (third vein) bristly on almost its entire length. Three 



Tig. 11. Head of Chaetoplagia asiatica, sp. n.
