joints of the antennae yellow (third joint missing). Thorax 
bluish, shining, and slightly pruinose, an obscure dorsal stripe, 
pleura and scutellum brown; the pleura shows in certain light, 
a bluish metallic lustre. Abdomen blackish, shining, base brown. 
Legs brown, the tibiae and tarsi slightly darker than the femora. 
Halteres light yellow. Wings brownish, with a whitish hyaline 
spot, partly in the first and partly in the second posterior cells 
about halfway between posterior cross vein and the edge of the 
wing, a middle whitish band extends from the costa across the 
discal cell and into the third posterior cell but not quite reaching 
the posterior margin, base of the wing hyaline. Length 4 mm. 
Two specimens collected by Mr. W. Sprague Brooks at 
Paradise Key, Fla., Feb. 25, 1920. The species is readily sep- 
arated from the other American forms by its peculiar wing 
pattern, which resembles that of C. angustata Hendel from Brazil.
