Genus EUMELANOMYIA. now. gen. 
Head clothed almost entirely with rather loose flat scales, a 
small median basal area of narrow-curved 
ones and very thin upright forked scales. 
Thorax and scutellum with rather long 
narrow-curved scales. Palpi of 5 short, of 
two segments, the apical one equal in length 
to the other; in the male a little shorter 
than proboscis, apex blunt with a few long 
chaetae, no hair tufts. Male genitalia very' 
similar to Culiciomyia, but there are two 
foliate plates on the basal lobe. Fork-cells 
rather short. 
This - rather obscure genus comes near 
Culiciomyia , but can be distinguished by the 
short two-segmented 5 palpi, shorter male 
palpi, and the peculiar bifoliate nature of 
the genitalia, the clasper, however, strongly resembling the 
former genus.'
