are black and the tarsal segments dark brown, a little paler in the 
middle. The femora are flat, yellowish, with the upper margin 
nearly black, while the flattened sides are yellowish; the tibiae 
of the hind legs are entirely dark or dark brown. The femora of 
the fore legs are golden yellow on the ventral surface. The artic- 
ulations of the legs are all dark. The ventral surface of the insect 
is also very shiny and of a dark sepia, metallic color. The labium 
is pale brown and the genitalia are yellowish. The venter is 
finely granulose or shagreened a character which is especially 
evident in the female. The interruption of the discoidal vein 
[fourth longitudinal; Mi + 2 ], which I have mentioned before in 
the generic description, is perhaps but a specific character; yet 
this peculiarity seems to me to be constant. Spread of the wings, 
from the tip of one to that of the other, 2.5 cm. Length (includ- 
ing the head, but not the wings), of female, 1 cm. ; of male, 8 mm.” 
Off “Pavo del monte, Yacii, or Charate,” Penelope canicollis 
Wagler, in the Province of Tucuman, Argentina. 
This is evidently one of the largest species of the genus and 
as such must be related to Ornithoponus obliquinervis (Rondani), 
of Mexico, and 0. rufiventris (Bigot), of Brazil.

The generic characters have been correctly given by Speiser, 
Massonat, Aldrich, and Ferris, so there is no need repeating them 
here. Of the described hippoboscids, the following appear to 
belong to Pseudolynchia.
