Face whitish yellow, frons reddish, a whitish border along the eyes ; antennae 

 yellow, the third joint with a distinct anterior point, arista with microscopic pubes- 

 cence ; epistome very prominent, cut off ; palpi pale yellow ; proboscis yellow, thick, 

 long, with short but geniculate terminal flaps. The bristles of the head are dark 

 yellow, those of the hind border whitish ; 2 superior or. 



Thorax with dense grey pollination , with pale pubescence and dark yellow bristles. 

 Scutellum with 2 bristles. Squamulae pale, haltères yellowish. Abdomen entirely 

 grey yellowish, unspotted, with well-developed pubescence and few yellow bristles ; 

 ovipositor flattened, black, shining, as long as the two last segments. Legs entirely 

 yellow ; front femora very hairy above. 



Wings hyaline, with pale veins, which are darkened in the black portion ; stigma 

 pale yellow, with a black anterior basal spot. The star-shaped apical spot gives off 

 5 rays to the hind margin, the first 4 reaching the hind border, the fifth ending at 

 the fifth vein ; the fourth runs along the posterior cross- vein. Fore border with the 

 usual basal anterior triangular hyaline indentation and the rounded spot at the end of 

 the second vein ; apical border very narrow, less distinct. Small cross-vein narrowly 

 margined with fuscous, isolated. From the stigma a pale band runs obliquety 

 forwards, which at the fourth vein becomes broader, and passing across the middle of 

 the fifth vein reaches the hind border at the end of the sixth vein, where it is widened. 

 Inferior angle of the anal cell cut off, not drawn out into a distinct point. 



A single female specimen from Puri, Orissa, 18 — ig-i-oS, caught by Dr. Annandale.

 Frauenfeld, Sitzgsber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, xxii, 543, f. 2 \Trypeta'] (185Ö) ; for the rest see Becker, 

 Kat. pal. Dipt., iv, 141 (1905). 



A grey species distinguished by the face and antennae of the male being yellow 

 and the apical ray of the star not reaching the hind border. 



Some specimens of this European species, from Calcutta, v — x, and Paresnath, 

 W. Bengal, 4000 — 4400 ft.. May '09, and Lahore, Punjab, 8-V-08 (A^. Annandale). 

 The species is known from Central and Southern Europe, North Africa and Madeira 

 and other species of this genus show a wide distribution. 



71, Trypanea asteria, Schiner. 



(PI. X, fig. 71). 



Schiner, Dipt. Nov. Reise, 270, 118 [Tephritis] (t868) ; Meijere, Tijdschr. v. Entom., li, 132, 2, pi. 

 4, f. 6 [id.l (1908). 



Closely allied to the preceding, but distinguished by the apical ray being com- 

 plete, by the yellower scutellum and abdomen, and by the black antennae and face 

 in the male. 



To the description of Schiner is to be added : third joint of the antennae of the 

 riiale black ; face in the same sex entirely of a velvety black colour, only a narrow 

 band on the epistome being yellow. i\s it seems very strange that Schiner could have
