THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 341 



silvery white tomentum ; frontalia cinereous, slightly widening 

 towards the antennae, with a row of black bristles on each 

 side ; one long bristle and a few short bristles on each side 

 of the epistoma, which is hardly prominent. Eyes bare. 

 Palpi testaceous. Antennae not reaching the epistoma ; 

 second joint red at the tip ; third linear, hardly more than 

 twice the length of the second ; arista very much longer than 

 the third joint, stout for nearly half the length from the base. 

 Thorax and abdomen with cinereous tomentum ; a few 

 bristles on each side. Abdomen elliptical ; first and second 

 segments towards the hind border and third wholly black and 

 shining. Wings cinereous; veins black; praebrachial emit- 

 ting a branch and forming a slightly obtuse angle at its 

 flexure, nearly straight from thence to its tip, which joins the 

 costal vein at some distance from the tip of the wing ; discal 

 transverse vein undulating, parted by a little less than its 

 length from the border and by much less than its length from 

 the flexure of the praebrachial ; alulae white. Length of the 

 body 3 lines. This species is referred with doubt to the 

 genus Frontina. Wady Genneh.

QQ. M. minuscula. Female. Black. Head silvery white ; 

 frontalia tawny, linear, with a few short bristles on each side ; 

 facialia without bristles. Eyes bare. Antennae setaceous, 

 not near reaching the epistoma; third joint full twice the 

 length of the second; arista stout, a little longer than the 

 third joint. Thorax and abdomen with a few bristles on each 

 side. Thorax cinereous. Abdomen red, with four black 

 bands; third and fourth broad; fourth apical. Legs black. 

 Wings pellucid ; veins pale testaceous ; praebrachial vein 

 forming a slightly oblique angle at its flexure, near which it 

 is slightly bent, and is thence straight to its tip, which joins 

 the cubital vein at some distance from the tip of the wing; 

 discal transverse vein straight, parted by more than its length 

 from the border, and by less than its length from the flexure 

 of the praebrachial; alulae white. Length of the body 2^ 

 lines. This species perhaps belongs to a distinct genus. 

 Tajura.
