more infuscated and with sharply pale bands along their pos- 
terior margins.

in the wider front and conspicuously elongated, pointed antennae 
of the male. 
Diploneura ( Dohrniphora ) opposita Borgmeier.

A single female from La Sombre, Peru, August 22, 1920 
(Cornell Univ. Exped.), agrees closely with Borgmeier’s de- 
scription of this species which is based on material from Pe- 
tr opolis, Brazil.

Conicera Meigen 
Conicera chiloensis sp. nov. 
S . Length 1.4 mm. Dark brown or piceous, the abdomen 
black. Pleurae lighter, distinctly brown above and yellowish 
brown below. Legs quite uniformly dark brown. Wings slightly 
infuscated on the apical half; veins dark brown. Front consid- 
erably more than twice as broad as long, with only ten bristles, 
as the postantennals and lower laterals are absent. Antial bris- 
tles almost equidistant from one another and the eye-margin, 
slightly nearer to the latter; curved medially so that they cross 
one another, directed almost horizontally forward, as strong as 
the other frontal bristles. Four bristles in the lower frontal line 
placed near to the lower frontal margin and forming a trans- 
verse line that is slightly concave; the bristles equidistant, with 
the lateral one barely separated from the eye-margin. Ocellar 
row of four equidistant bristles. Surface of front subshining, 
slightly pollinose, without median groove. Third antennal joint 
broad at base, conical, with the upper surface concave so that 
the tip is crescent-shaped, not extending quite to the level of the 
top of the eye; arista long, pubescent, thickened basally. Eyes 
microscopically hairy, cheeks each with three rather weak bris-
