marked ring. I have very poor material to work upon, having only one 
of each. They, however, agree exactly with the above distinctions. 
The above remarks show a little of what remains to be done among 
even the larger species of Diptera ; and it seems to me that the Ento- 
mological Society can scarcely hope to be able to publish a satisfactory 
catalogue of them within some years, unless more workers appear on 
the field.

puree, punctatis ; ihorace disco parce, latera versus gradatlm fortius 
densiusgue punctato ; scutello loevi, elytris ad scutellum parce, latera 
versus gradatim fortius punctatis. Subtus cupreus, sat dense alho-

Above glossy, seneous. Head sparingly but distinctly punctured ; 
clypeus somewhat thickly punctured, the angles much rounded, the 
margin scarcely reflexed. Thorax convex, broadest behind, gradually 
contracted in front, the sides gently rounded, the extreme margins 
thickened, the posterior margin reflexed, except near the scutellum ; 
the whole surface of the thorax punctured, the punctures small on the 
disc, become larger and deeper towards the sides. Scutellum with only 
a few small punctures near the base. 
Elytra convex, gradually increasing in width towards the posterior 
two-thirds, rounded posteriorly ; suture smooth ; extreme lateral mar- 
gins coppery, incrassated, especially immediately below the shoulders. 
The punctures on the elytra are small near the scutellum, but 
gradually increase in size and depth towards the margins ; the shoulders 
and apical callosities very delicately punctured. 
Pygidium coarsely punctured, very sparingly covered with white 
^r. Under-side coppery, clothed with white pubescence, the central 
^ the abdomen less densely covered.
