A NEW SCENOPINIDAE (DIPTERA) FROM BERMUDA 1 
By L. P. Kelsey 2 
While examining the Scenopinidae in the collection of the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology, I noted a specimen collected in Bermuda. 
As there are relatively few records of Scenopinids from islands this 
specimen was retained for more detailed study and was found to be 
a new species in the Velutinus Group as evidenced by the narrowed 
bursal cavity. This species would key to Scenopinus nubilipes Say 
in the keys to the Nearctic females (Kelsey, 1969) but may be 
separated from that species on the basis of the bursal cavity, con- 
formation of the 8th sternum and the markings on the frons. 
In the accompanying illustrations scale marks equal one half 
millimeter, the shorter applies to the head and wings, the longer to 
the terminalia.
