1929] New Species of Dolichopodidce from the West Indies 39 
arista inserted at upper basal corner, it is broken off in the 
type but still adheres to the head and has several long hairs 
along the middle, it might be much more fully feathered if 
in perfect condition; lower orbital cilia white. 
Dorsum of thorax blue on apical half, more coppery along 
the front and median line ; scutellum reddish coppery with a 
depressed area on each side of a median ridge, it has one 
pair of large marginal bristles and a pair of small hairs out- 
side of them. Abdomen green with black hair and with the 
hind margins of the segments coppery. Hypopygium (Fig. 
4) with the upper part black, the lower portion yellow, it 
has a short perpendicular segment which is scarcely as long 
as high, the hypopygium reaches nearly to the second ven- 
tral segment, its lamellae yellow on basal half, blackish on 
apical portion, somewhat triangular, or rounded, they have 
many slender hairs on apical margin and also several short, 
bent, flattened, blunt ones ; on the lower corner of the hypo- 
pygium are two long, branch, pale hairs, these are nearly as 
long as the lamellae. 
All coxae, femora and tibiae yellow, outer surface of basal 
half of middle coxae and all tarsi from the tip of the first 
joint brown; fore coxae with a few black hairs and bristles; 
joints of fore tarsi as 40-25-19-11-10; two first joints of 
hind tarsi as 29-40. Calypters and halters yellow, the cilia 
of the former appears yellowish. 
Wings grayish; first vein reaching but little more than 
half as far as the cross-vein ; third vein nearly straight, last 
section of fourth vein bent near apical third; slightly con- 
cave posteriorly beyond the bend, its end near the tip of 
third vein ; cross-vein 15, last section of fifth vein 23 fiftieths 
of a millimeter long. 
Described from one male, taken by George Salt, February 
25, 1925, at Soledod, Cuba. Type in the Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology, in Cambridge, Mass. 
This like neglecta Wheeler, fasciatus Roeder and wheelri 
Melander has the hypoygium about half yellow, but it is 
separated from these by the form of the hypoygial ap- 
pendages. Neglectus like this species has a few branched 
bristles on the hypopygium, but they are much shorter than 
in this form.
