Harpagomyia coeruleovittata, Ludlow, Psyche, xviii, p. 131 (1911). 

 Dr. Ludlow suggested that her species might be distinguished from H. splendens 

 by the scaling of the scutellum, but specimens in the British Museum from 

 Batavia agree with her description, as also does Leicester's type. The African 

 H. trichorostris is very similar, but differs in having a dark clypeus, that of the 

 Oriental species being yellowish with a silvery pubescence.

 This genus may be defined as follows : Postnotum without setae, but with a 

 distinct median longitudinal ridge ; hind tibiae distinctly shorter than either the 

 front or middle ones ; prothoracic lobes well separated ; eyes touching for a long 

 space ; proboscis slender, thin at the tip, longer than the abdomen ; male and 

 female palpi short ; male with the antennae sub-plumose, the claws of the fore 

 and mid legs unequal, the genitalia of Sabethine type. Leicester says that the 

 larva is very hairy and " has a curious hooked chitinous process inserted on the
