INSECTS OF SAMOA. 



Length, 5 mm. 



Savaii : Safune, type and 4 paratypes, 17-23. v.1924 (Bryan). Tutuila : 

 Afono Trail, 1 paratype, 25. ix. 1923 (Swezey and Wilder). Type in Bishop 

 Museum, Honolulu. 



An example with yellow hypopygium and no central black spots on the 

 abdomen appears to represent a pale form of this species. The specimen shows 

 the lateral apical fascia extending from the sublateral spot to the lateral extremity 

 of the tergites of the apical half of the abdomen, a character which distinguishes 

 it from the next two species. ^ 



Tutuila : Pago Pago, 1 9. i v. 1924 (Bryan). The specimen is in the Bishop 

 Museum. 



10. Homoneura (Minettioides) apiseriata, sp. n. (Text-fig. 5), 



(^$. Similar to H. {M.) nigricauda, and differing only in having a pair of 

 round black spots on each tergite from third to sixth inclusive, and in the outer 

 arms of the hypopygium having a more decided projection at the apex {cf. text- 

 fig. 5). 



Length, 5 mm. 



Upolu : Tuaefu, Sliding Rock, type allotype, 1 paratype and 1 para- 

 type 16.ix.l923 (Swezey and Wilder). Type in Bishop Museum. 



In the case of the two paratypes there is a slight indication of a darkened 

 central spot on the anterior margin of some of the tergites of the apical half of 

 the abdomen. 



11. Homoneura (Minettioides) setulosa, sp. n. 



Slightly paler in colour than species 9 and 10, with the round, black, 

 paired spots on the abdomen beginning on the second visible tergite, and the 

 fore femur with a distinct comb -like series of minute black spines on the apical 

 half of the anteroventral surface. In other respects as H. {M.) apiseriata. 

 Length, 5 mm. 



Manua : Tau, type, 20. ii. 1926 (Judd). In the Bishop Museum, Honolulu. 



Panurgopsis Kertesz. 



I consider Prucliaetofs Bezzi {Diptera Brachycera and Athericera of the Fiji 

 Islands, p. 120, 1928) identical with this genus. Bezzi states that his genus is
