hind margin ; genitalia reddish. The abdominal bristles are black, rather developed. 

 Legs entirely yellow, the hind femora only with a less distinct grey spot below in the 

 middle. 



Wing-reticulation broken into spots ; stigma black, without spots but with yellow- 

 ish base ; the brown streaks form two cross bands, one less distinct below the stigma, 

 and one more distinct praeapical, from the end of the second vein to the middle of 

 the second posterior cell ; this band shows some hyaline spots. Third posterior cell in 

 the middle with only three small brown spots. 



Two male specimens from Calcutta, 5-ii-o8 and 28-X-07. 



This species seems to be allied to orientalis, Meijere, from Java.

Distinguished by the slender body, by the scutellum bearing usually only two 

 bristles and by the pattern of the wing being star-shaped and limited to the apex. 



All the characters of the preceding genus are present, but the third joint of the 

 antennae ends in a point on its external lower angle ; arista bare ; or. 2. 3 or i. 3 ; 

 proboscis usually short and not geniculate. Scutellum usually with only a pair of 

 bristles. Wings as in Tephritis, but the black pattern limited to the apex and star- 

 shaped, the remaining surface immaculate, or with very few spots ; at any rate the 

 wings are not reticulate. 



Type : Musca stellata, Fuessly, 1775. 



As I have shown in Wien, entom. Zeit., xxxvi, 54 (1907) the name Trypanea 

 must be used for the present genus in place of Urellia, used by most authors ; the 

 genera Ditricha and Actinoptera of Rondani are also synonymous. The collection 

 contains the following species :— 



1 (2). Epi.stome very prominent ; or. 2. 3 ; proboscis rather long with the 



flaps a little prolonged ; inferior angle of the anal cell not 

 prolonged ; a complete cross-band through the middle of the 

 fifth vein .. .. .. .. .. aitcta, n. ?,p. 



2 (i). Epistome less prominent ; or. i. 3 ; proboscis short ; inferior angle 



of the anal cell prolonged into a short but distinct point ; no 

 complete cross-band on the fifth vein. 



3 (4). Apical ray of the star not reaching the hind margin ; scutellum 



and abdomen usually entirely grey ; face and antennae yellow 



in both sexes . . , . , , . . . amoena, Frauenf. 



4 (3). Apical ra reaching the hind margin; scutellum and abdomen 



partly yellow ; antennae and face of the male black . . asteria, Schiner. 



69. Trypanea aucta, n. sp. 2 . 

 (PI. X, fig. 69). 

 Of usual shape and pattern, but distinguished by the very prominent epistome, 

 elongate proboscis, obtuse anal cell and complete cross-band through the middle of 

 the fifth vein. Length 4 mm.
