considerably rounded, yellowish-white ; the base, an- 
terior margin, and the tip, dusky black, all the ner- 
vures with a broad stripe of the same colour, the 
male having a single dusky spot towards the tip, and

wings, and the tip of the anteiior pair, are tinged 
with sulphur-yellow, nnd ail the nervures are broadly 
margined with dusky. 
The larva of this insect, which may eventually 
prove to be a distinct species, is not known. The 
fly has been frequently taken in the vicinity of Lon- 
don. “ Not rare in some seasons near Newcastle-”
