nosity; the narrow upper margin and vertical suture of pleuræ, as well 
■as the usual patch below wing base, yellowish. Squamæ, their fringes and 
the halteres yellow. Abdomen black, rather glossy, the segments without 
pale margins ; ovipositor glossy black. Legs black, shining, the apices of 
the femora and the bases of the tibiæ rather broadly clear yellow. Wings 
clear, veins black. 
Frons over one third the head width ; orbits with 4 pairs of bristles, 
which are not very strong and slightly decrease in strength anteriorly; 
antennæ rather small, third joint rounded, very slightly pilose; arista 
about as long as frons, the pubescence very short ; face slightly receding, 
concave in profile, the cheek short and not over one sixth as high as eye ; 
marginal bristles weak, vibrissa not strong. Mesonotum with four pairs 
of dorso-centrals, the anterior two pairs slightly weaker than the posterior 
two pairs; 5—6 rows of setulæ between the anterior dorso-centrals; no 
distinguishable bristles between the posterior pair of dorso-centrals. Ab¬ 
domen elongate, narrow ; surface hairs rather numerous and soft ; hypo- 
pygium thick, not elongate nor flattened. Legs normal in shape, their 
surfaces short-haired ; no bristles on mid tibiæ. Costa to the end of fourth 
vein ; inner cross vein at slightly before the end of first vein, and at very 
slightly before the middle of the discal cell; veins 8—4 divergent on their 
last sections ; last section of fourth vein about 6 times as long as the penul¬ 
timate section ; last section of fifth vein about 1 y 2 times as long as the 
penultimate section. 
Length: 2*25 mm. 
Locality: Kosempo. One specimen, November. 
This species is very closely allied to longipennis Loew, but the color

wings in brunnifrons are also not so narow, while the venation also presents 
some considerable differences.

apices, yellowish. Wings slightly grayish, the veins very distinct, black-

Frons not quite one third the head width, opaque, only the ocellar 
region and the orbits at the bases of the bristles shining; orbits poorly defined, 
their inner margin hardly discernable from the central stripe; four pairs 
of orbital bristles present, which decrease much in length anteriorly, anterior 
pair only incurved ; orbits without hairs in addition to the bristles, the
