of the wings. It differs from this last species, which is the only one known, in being 

 of greater size and yellower colouring ; the basal wing-pattern is also more 3^ellow and 

 more broadened ; the second longitudinal vein is distinctly shorter. Fossata, Fabr., 

 which was placed in this genus by Van der Wulp , has no connection with these forms 

 and will be found in A cidia .

Easily distinguished by the bare third vein, the short proboscis, the strong ocellar 

 bristles, the stump on the second vein and the very short point of the anal cell ; very 

 characteristic also is the colour of the thorax, yellow with black spots. 



Head distinctly higher than broad, the face elongated below and the cheeks 

 very broad ; occiput a little swollen below ; eyes rounded, not distinctly narrowed ; 

 frons convex, prominent ; face flat, without carina and with the epistome not pro- 

 minent ; proboscis short and not geniculate ; palpi without bristles ; antennae inserted 

 above the middle of the eyes, very short, the third joint 1^ times as long as the second, 

 a little pointed at the tip ; arista shortly pubescent on both sides. 



Chaetotaxy of head and thorax complete ; oc. long and robust ; or. 2.3; vt. 2 ; 

 pvt. weak and long ; bristles of the occipital row almost indistinct, dark yellowish ; 

 genal bristle not distinct ; scp. very weak ; dc. near the suture ; 2 mpl ; pt. strong. 

 Scutellum flat, black-spotted, with 4 bristles. Abdomen broad, convex, bristly at 

 end ; male genitalia prominent, with a perpendicular middle organ below; ovipositor 

 short, not flattened, swollen, with the apical joint very small. Legs short and stout ; 

 middle tibiae with a single spur. 



Wings narrow, with yellow cross-bands and without basal black streaks ; costal 

 bristle distinct ; first longitudinal vein short; all the veins straight, the 3rd and 4th 

 parallel ; second vein with a stump ; third vein bare ; small cross- vein before the middle 

 of the discal cell ; posterior cross-vein perpendicular ; inferior angle of the anal cell 

 drawn out into a very short point, shorter than the second basal cell. 



Type : Carpomyia pardalina , Bigot, 1891. 



This species was originally placed in the genus Carponivia , but in my paper of 

 1910 I have shown that it demands the erection of a new genus.

A yellow middle-sized species, with 4 yellow bands on the wings and black spots 



on the thorax and scutellum. 



To the description of Mr. Bigot, reported also by Mr. Froggatt, I have to add : — 

 Head wholly yellow, the frons a little darkened above the antennae; the bristles
