fourth the length of the cell ; stem of the second posterior about 

 half the length of the cell ; supernumerary and mid-cross veins not 

 closely united, the posterior nearly twice its own length distant 

 from the mid ; third vein and lower branch of the fifth vein 

 darker scaled than the rest. Halteres pale ochreous. 



Length. — 6 mm. (specimen swollen with blood and contracted). 

 Meigen gives 7-8 mm. 



Habitat. — Sfax, Tunis (Biro) ; also recorded from Austria 

 (Schiner) ; Russia (Gimmerthal) ; England (Stephens). 



Observations. — Redescribed from a perfect female in the 

 collection of the National Museum at Budapest. I do not think 

 there is any doubt that this is Meigen's species in spite of his 

 curt and obscure description, but all of his few characters agree, 

 granted the mesothorax of his specimen was rubbed. I had not 

 previously seen anything that would answer to this species, all 

 specimens so named being only worn Gulex pipiens, L.
