13 
Pleura mainly yellow. Sternopleura mainly black. Legs 
mainly yellow, dark reddish distally and dorsally on the 
femora. Tibiae more yellowish in the middle. Apical tarsi 
and apical half of claws black. Wings hyaline, yellow at 
base. First posterior cell long petiolate. Calypters light 
yellow. Halteres light yellow, dark reddish at base. 
Abdomen mainly deep yellow with paler yellow distal 
margins. Blackish red on first, basal two-thirds of second, 
about basal one-half of third, and basal centers of fourth 
and fifth segments. Sides of second and third segments 
yellow. Genital segments darker yellow. 
Size: 5 mm. 
Allotype 9 : Same data. 
Similiar to the holotype. Dorsal third of front and 
vertex rufous. Abdomen more predominantly dark rufous 
on most of the segments dorsally, yellow laterally and on 
distal margins. Median longitudinal yellow band on fifth, 
sixth and seventh segments. Genital segments black. Theca 
apparently as long as wide. Size : 5 % mm. 
Paratype $ : Same data. (Retained in author’s collec- 
tion) . 
Similiar to the holotype, but somewhat more rufous on 
vertex and abdomen. Size: 4% mm. 
This very distinctive form differs structurally from the 
other species of Zodion in the scutellum and wing vena- 
tion, and could be placed in a separate subgenus. 
Scatoccemyia, gen. nov. 
Similar to Occemyia but having a markedly thickened 
anterior cross vein, shorter, thicker antenna, more quadrate 
shaped head, a fronto-facial black mark, more prominant 
rows of bristles on ventral surface of femora, more pol- 
linose (less shiny black) coloration, and more hairy ap- 
pearance. 
Type: Scatoccemyia plaumanni, sp. nov. 
This genus resembles a Scatophagid. Since the genus 
Occemyia has not been found in South America as yet, 
this genus may be replacing it on that continent.
