Genus Taeniorhynchus. 
yellowish falciform scales; pleurae and coxae with some whitish 
bars and specks. Halteres entirely pale yellow, densely scaled. 
This species closely resembles C. impellens, Walker, in orna¬ 
mentation, but differs in having snowy apical lateral spots on all 
but the last abdominal segment; C. impellens having simply 
basal bands, besides which, of course, the dense scaly armature 
of the wing, though the scales are rather narrow for the genus, 
is alone sufficient to distinguish them. Rather over medium size.” 
Habitat. —Antigua; July 21, 1907, from a collection sent 
by Dr. Forrest. 
Note .—I have been unable to see the type. No one could 
identify it from the description, but it is apparently not a 
Taeniorhynchus. Co-type in British Museum. 
Taeniorhynchus (?) whitmorei. Giles (1904).

“Wings uniformly dark-scaled, unspotted. Tarsi with some 
joints minutely basally banded yellowish, but not on first joints. 
Ground colour of thorax fuligenous, densely clothed with white 
falciform scales, not arranged to form definite ornament. 
Abdominal segments fuscous, with rather paler brown patches of 
truncate triangular outline along the middle line, and a line of 
pale scales all round the borders of the terga. Proboscis black, 
with a broad yellowish band beyond the middle. 
Head with a sooty ground densely clothed with falciform 
scales in front, and with white and fuscous erect forked scales 
in varying proportions, mostly on the nape, and a few strong 
white bristles projecting forwards between the antennae ; lateral 
flat-scaled areas snowy; basal joints of antennae densely white- 
scaled ; palpi very small, dark, with a few white scales at the 
tip. Halteres with pale stem and ferruginous knobs. Femora 
mottled with black and white scales. No knee or tibio-tarsal 
spots. Venter impure white-scaled. 
A rather small species.

The above is Giles’ description. Banks gives the locality 
Pampanga, Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, P. I. (E. R. Whitmore). 
Type in the British Museum.'* 
* Mr. H. F. Carter has examined the type and says it is a distinct 
Leucomyia.
