[October 
The frons is one third of the head-width, the cruciate inter- 
frontals are long, the palpi more noticeably spatulate, and the 
legs much less bristly. 
Length, 3.5 — 4 mm. 
Type, male, and allotype, Waterville, Me., May 11, 1906. 
(Hitching s ) . 
The male of this species is distinguished from any in the 
genus known to me by the form of the processes of fifth sternite, 
armature of fore tibia, hind tibia, and mid and hind femora. 
It bears a resemblance to hicaudata Malloch in some charac- 
ters but is easily separated by the femoral bristling. 
Calythea Schnabl and Dzeidzicki 
This genus I distinguished from Anthomyia by the presence 
of fine hairs on the upper margin of the hypopleura in front of 
the spiracle, but I find that in most of the European specimens 
of the genotype there are no hairs present and when there are 
any they are very sparse and difficult to distinguish. My state- 
ment was based upon an examination of specimens which had 
either been named b}^ Stein or compared with those so named. 
Just recently I have had some European specimens given to me 
and after an exhaustive examination of these desire to amend 
the generic definition as follows: Hypopleura usually with some 
fine hairs on upper margin in front of spiracle, absent only in 
albicincta Fallen, and with some similar hairs at lower posterior 
angle; prosternum always with some fine marginal hairs; hind 
tibia with one long posterodorsal bristle beyond middle; lower 
calyptra protruded; propleura bare below humeral angle, but 
with a dense tuft of setulose hairs above fore coxa; scutellum 
with fine hairs below. 
Calythea separata sp. nov. 
Male. — Similar to albicincta Fallen in general color and 
habitus. Differs in having no fuscous spot surrounding the 
posterior notopleural bristle, the anterior margin of thoracic 
dorsum less obviously grayish, the gray stripes on posterior
