black, but the stigma shows a large yellowish basal spot. Costal cell as in eiirypteva ; 

 the large hyahne indentation after the stigma is divided into two rectangular spots by 

 a perpendicular median black streak ; and in contact with these are two other hyaline 

 spots between the second and third veins ; the other hyahne marginal spots are as in 

 euryptera, but the third posterior cell has one more below the hind cross- vein ; and 

 the axillar lobe shows also two spots, which are wanting in the preceding' The discal 

 spots are in number and position the same as in the preceding, but are larger and 

 whitish-hyaline ; there is a spot in the upper corner of the second posterior ceh ; the 

 third posterior cell has also three hyaline discal spots, two of which are connected with 

 the two basal marginal spots ; before the anal cell is also a small hyaline spot.

66. Tephritis zonogastra, n. sp. ^ . 



(PI. X, fig. 66). 



Distinguished by the yellow bristles of the head and body, by the colouring of the 

 abdomen and by the pectinated hind tibiae. Length 4 mm. 



Head yellow, with yellow appendages and bristles ; third antennal joint short, 

 with bare arista ; or. 2. 3 ; occipital row well developed, whitish. 



Thorax with dense grey pollination, with the humeri yellowish; pubescence short ; 

 all the bristles yellow. Scutellum grey, with yellow hind border, and 4 yellow 

 bristles. Squamulae whitish, haltères pale yellow. Abdomen entirely reddish yellow, 

 grey on the belly ; pubescence yellow ; bristles well developed, yellowish ; each 

 segment bears at the base a broad black band, only that of the last segment being 

 narrowly interrupted in the middle. lyCgs short and robust, entirely yellow, with 

 yellow bristles, those of the front femora very abundant ; hind tibiae with a distinct 

 comb of yellow bristles. 



Wings of usual shape and neuration ; veins black, yellowish towards the base. 

 They are black, the base being hyaline from the stigma to the anal cell ; costal cell 

 with a small brown spot ; stigma black, with a small basal yellow dot. Fore margin 

 with two hyaline indentations ; one just after the stigma, of larger size and triangular 

 shape, with the vertex on the third vein and including in the middle a black spot ex- 

 tending from the costa to the second vein ; the second, triangular but of smaller size, 

 is just after the end of the second vein. An apical semilunar spot between the ends 

 of 3rd and 4th veins. At the hind margin are two groups of hyaline spots ; one 

 in the second posterior ceh, composed of three parallel stripes partly fused together. 

 The second is in the third posterior ceh, composed of 6 spots, 3 at the hind margin 

 and 3 in the middle ; besides there is a small spot before the anal cell. Axillar 

 lobe grey, with 4 spots. The discal spots are : i in the first basal, 2 in the first 

 posterior, all of smaller size ; and 2 in the discal cell, the median very large, the 

 exterior smaller, all rounded. The hyaline spots are whitish, those toward the hind 

 border more grey.
