This fly is most similar to Zipula (Pupualipula) divergens de Meijere and 
T. (P.) meijercand Alexander (dentala de Meijere, preoccupied), both of south- 
western New Guinea. It differs in the details of coloration of the thorax and 
appendages and in the strueture of the male hypopygium, especially the styli. 
TmuLA (PAPUATIPULA) SURCULARTIA Sp. Nov. 
Antennae with flagellar segments bicoloured, brownish black basally, the 
stems yellow; wings ereyish yellow, the prearcular and costal fields strongly 
yellowish fulvous; outer dististyle relatively narrow, terminating in a blackened 
point; at base of inner style with a short, stout blackened lobe. 
8 Length, about 15 mm.; wing, 17 mut; antenna, about 3 mm, 
Frontal prolongation of head relatively long, somewhat shorter than the 
remainder, yellow above, the sides and the nasus a little darker; palpi with the 
basal segments brownish yellow, the third one darker, terminal segment. chiefly 
black. Antennae with basal three segments yellow, succeeding segments 
bicoloured, their basal portions brownish black, the remainder yellow, the amount 
of dark increasing slightly on the outer segments but the bicolouwrous nature 
persisting to the reduced terminal segment; basal enlargements poorly indicated ; 
longest verticils a little less than the segments. Ilead brownish grey, paler in 
front, with a narrow brown vitta extendimg from between the antennal bases to the 
occiput; vertical tubercle low. , 
Pronotum pale yellow. Mesonotal praescujum and seutum concealed in 
monnting; sentellum anid postnotum greyish ftestaccous. Pleura and plenro- 
tergite more whitened, without pattern, Haltercs elongate, stem pale brown, 
knob. a little more darkened. Legs with the coxae whitened; trochauters pale 
yellow; all legs detached and glued to the specimen; basal portions almost 
uniformly brownish yellow, the tarsal segments somewhat darker. Wings greyish 
yellow, the prearcular and costal fields even more yellowed. Venation: Ps short, 
about two-thirds m-cw; Ry4. entirely atrophied; #, longer than Rois; inner 
end of cell 1st Ms pointed; m—cw at near two-thirds the length of M44; petiole
