Genus Dendromyia. 



613 



posterior a little more than half the length of the cell ; posterior 

 cross-vein about two-thirds its own length distant from the mid 

 cross-vein. 



Length, — 4 mm. 



Habitat. — Sao Paulo and Goyaz, Brazil (Dr. Lutz). 



Observations. — Re-described from a perfect female sent by 

 Dr. Lutz. It can be told by the legs having white only on the 

 mid tarsals. The wings also have shortish fork-cells and many 

 thin lateral veins, thus bringing it near to Wyeomyia, but there 

 are many typical Dendromyian ones, and it is placed as Lutz has 

 done provisionally in this genus. It comes uncommonly near 

 Dendromyia mitchellii, Theobald, and may be the same.
