Genus SQUAMOMYIA. Theobald (1910). 
Rec. Ind. Mus. IV., 28 (1910). 
Head clothed with flat scales and upright forked ones behind ; 
clypeus densely scaled , scales long and broad; antennae of male 
plumose; palpi small and thin; proboscis long and thin, not as 
long as the body. 
Thorax with spindle-shaped scales, small flat ones at the sides 
in front; broad spindle-shaped ones on the prothoracic lobes, 
densely covering them; scutellum with flat scales. Wings of 
male with short fork-cells. Abdomen clothed with very large 
flat scales, somewhat loosely applied. 
This forms a very distinct genus, easily told by the densely - 
scaled clypeus. The male genitalia also seem very marked, but 
have not been dissected. 
A male only occurs in the collection of the Indian Museum, 
Calcutta.
