the lengtli of the tibiae; their three first joints are style -like, 

 very attenuated, generally brownish-yellow ; their two last joints 

 are black, flattened from the side, the penultimate but little, the 

 last joint on the contrary very much enlarged. The fore tarsi of 

 the 9 are plain, blackish from the tip of the first joint. Middle 

 tarsi of both sexes plain, black from the tip of the first joint ; upon 

 the second half of the upper side of their first joint a single stronger 

 bristle is inserted. Hind tarsi always altogether black. Cilia of 

 the tegulae black. Wings of the g somewhat less grayish than 

 those of the 9 , proportionally somewhat shorter and more pointed, 

 with a strong swelling of the costa near the tip of the first longi- 

 tudinal vein. The hind transverse vein almost perpendicular ; 

 the last portion of the fourth longitudinal vein not broken.

 Observation. — The identity of Mr. Kennicott's specimens with 

 the European D. brevipennis may be considered as doubtless, 

 after the most careful comparison. 



B. Cilia of the inferior orbit pale. 



A. Cilia of the tegulae pale. 



1. Antennae black, at the utmost the larger portion of the first joint red.
