60 JOHN D. TOTHILL. 



Abdomen of five visible segments, the first very short ; black and shining but for 

 basal transverse bands of grey pollen on segments 3, 4, and 5. No discal bristles 

 on any of the segments ; a median marginal pair on the second, third, and fourth ; 

 the fifth segment with no dorsal bristles whatever. 



Described from a male fly taken at Dehra Dun, Kumaon, by Dr. A. D. Imms. The 

 specimen was taken on flowers on 26th August 1912. 



Lophosia (Paralophosia) imbuta, Wied., is recorded from the East Indies ; the 

 description of this fly is too meagre however to indicate relationships and I have 

 seen no specimens of it. Another fly that may be closely related is Mik's Palearctic 

 Atylostoma tricolor, in this case also I have no material for comparison.
