New World, but so far has not been found in the West In- 
dies. 
Conops bermudensis new species (Fig. 3) 
Female: length 7 mm. Easily recognized by its dark 
color, entirely yellowish wings, and black spot in front of 
each eye. Front and vertex dark reddish brown; cheeks 
somewhat paler ; face testaceous ; a round, black, velvety spot 
in front of and contiguous with each eye at a level with the 
base of the antennae. Fine silver pollen on face and cheeks 
and extending up to the black spot. Basal segments of an- 
tennae dark brown, more than three times as long as wide ; 
other segments missing. Proboscis dark brown, darker to- 
wards the apex, twice the length of the head. Thorax dark 
brown, obscurely covered with very fine silver pollen ; me- 
sonotum (except the humeri) black; scutellum dark brown; 
metanotum black. Legs dark brown ; tibiae becoming darker 
towards their apices ; tarsi dark piceous ; pulvilli and claws 
pale testaceous; tips of claws black. Coxae covered with 
very fine silver pollen. Abdomen dark brown, covered with 
very fine silver pollen, particularly on the sixth and seventh 
segments. Ventral plate rather long, very convex and 
broad. Wings entirely uniformly pale yellowish brown. 
Holotype ( $ ) : Bermuda (Owen Bryant) ; in the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology. 
The specimen is in rather poor condition, but is worth 
describing because it represents the first Conopid to be 
found in Bermuda. Most of the Nearctics species heretofore 
described under Conops really belong in Physoconops. But 
bermudensis is a true Conops and so distinctive that it can- 
not be confused with any other species.
