LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

FAM. GELECHIADJE

by E. MEYRICK

WITH 5 COLOURED PLATES

General Characters. — Head usually smooth or with appressed scales, sidetufts sometimes

raised, only in Panicotricha with erect rough hairs on crown; ocelli small, posterior or rarely inferior;

tongue usually developed. Antennae varying from 2/3 to 1 1/2, in c usually simple or shortly ciliated,

but sometimes with long fasciculate ciliations or even pectinated (P/ilofhyris), basal joint more or less

elongate, usually without pecten (but pecten present in several independent genera). Labial palpi

normally long or very long, recurved, sickle-shaped, acute, variably scaled, rarely very short or aborted

(Amblypalpis and allies), terminal joint in cf sometimes aborted. Maxillary palpi short or very short,

scaled, appressed or rarely porrected (Lacistodes). Anterior legs normally long, slender; posterior tibiae

usually with rough scales or long hairs above. Forewings moderate in earlier but becoming narrow in

higher forms; 1? normally furcate, 2 from or towards angle, rarely remote, 7 and 8 stalked or coincident

(only in Anomoxena separate by obsolescence of stalk), 11 usually from middle. Hindwings usually r or

over 1, but sometimes under r, usually trapezoidal, with termen slightly or strongly sinuate or abruptly

emarginate beneath apex or even with deep excavation, apex sometimes strongly or even excessively

produced, but sometimes elongate-ovate without terminal sinuation, cilia 1/6-6, cubital pecten some-

times present (groups 4 and 7); cell complete but transverse vein sometimes obsolescent, 3 and 4

originally connate but in higher forms often parallel, 5 parallel or approximated to 4 or when 4 is absent

connate with 3, 6 and 7 normally connate or stalked, yet sometimes remote and parallel (Protolechia and

allies), 8 normally appressed or connected with middle of upper margin of cell.

Larva with prolegs on segments 7-10 and 13, rarely rudimentary; rarely with clothing of dense

long hairs (Hygroplasta); feeding in more or less web, the more primitive forms on lichens, moss, and

dry vegetable or seldom animal refuse, those more advanced on phanerogamous plants and trees, in

spun shoots, rolled leaves, within stems or roots or seed-heads or sometimes mining in leaves,

occasionally living in a portable case, and in general displaying flexibility of habit and adaptability.

2 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

Pupa with first four segments of abdomen fixed; sometimes with rather prominent scattered hairs

(group 8); usually in slight cocoon amongst refuse or on food-plant.

* —*

The conception of the family Gelechiadae is apparently due to Stainton, but (as noted in my

remarks on the Oecophoridae) he did not discriminate properly between these two families, their limits

being defined by myself in 1883. Subsequent discoveries of material have shown that (as indicated in

the family characters above) there is really not a single character to which an exception does not occur;

as knowledge widens, all boundaries become less absolute. I am however still satised that the —

Gelechiadae and Oecophoridae do represent two natural associations or lines of development, arising from

a common base and not intermixing at any other point, but in order to distinguish the two in practice it

is necessary to consider the whole of the characters in conjunction. and not to argue from single points,

There are in fact many points of distinction between the two families, and the failure of one can always

be corrected by the inspection of the rest. In A4momoxena a character (common to both families) fails

which might have been thought (and probably really is) difficult of modification, and to which no other

exception is known amongst the whole of the 7oo genera of the two families, yet this is in a highly

specialised genus far up the line of ascent ; as is easily seen from the rest of its characters. Great caution

is therefore advisable in accepting the statements of those whose limited experience recommends faith

in any particular characters whatsoever.

I have divided the family into nine groups ik I consider undoubtedly natural, but I have not

ventured to attach names to these groups, because they are not properly definable; there are in all cases -

structural characters which serve as guides to their identification, but there are so many exceptions that.

it would only be misleading to draw up definitions. When familiar with these groups, however, it is -

generally possible to say at once of a new genus to which group it should be referred, and thus they are -

really serviceable as mental conceptions, in view of the large size of the family, and contribute.

materially to its comprehension.

The family as a whole must be regarded as a rather modern development, which has MAS

.in adapting itself to a great variety of situations. In New Zealand it is very scantily represented,

obviously only by three or four types that have found their way there in recent times. Elsewhere it is

generally abundant (not in oceanic islands), but with different types predominant in different regions;

thus in Europe and North America the Gelechia type predominates, in India the Lecifhocera type, in

South America the Compsolechia type, in Australia the Protolechia type; these groups are therefore more

recent in origin than the period since which these main regions have been disconnected. These

distinctions are very pronounced ; but owing to the obscure appearance and secretive habits of many of

these insects, there are undoubtedly a large proportion still awaiting discovery.

In the present revision I have classified 391 genera and 3542 species.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 21

Group 1 (Apatetris type)

A specialised development from the Aistotelia group, with pronounced tendency to the possession

of a basal pecten in the antennae (rare otherwise in this family), and to characteristic excision of

hindwings into two lobes; in extreme forms the palpi are much reduced or aborted. The larvae usually

feed in galls on stems.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E

Characters. — Head smooth ; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 2/3 — 4/5, in c

simple or ciliated, basal joint elongate, with dense strong pecten. Labial palpi rather long, curved,

ascending, second joint more or less rough-scaled or expanded with projecting scales beneath towards

apex, terminal joint shorter than second, sometimes very short, slightly thickened, roughened anteriorly,

pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long

hairs above and beneath. Forewings with 154urcate, 2 remote, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, seldom 7 and

8 out of 6, or 6 out of 7 near base, 11 from middle. Hindwings under r, narrow-trapezoidal, termen

abruptly or acutely emarginate beneath acutely produced apex, cilia 2-4 ; 3 and 4 rather approximated,

5 tolerably parallel, 6 and 7 rather approximated towards base.

Remarks. — There is some variability of structure, but the genus forms a natural whole and

does not need subdivision. The curious hindwings often afford good specific characters, in the more

pronounced forms having the apical projection very long or the subapical excision so deep that the

wing appears to form a prominence below it.

Geographical distribution of species. — At present 43 species are known, of which number

there are 11 African, 3 European, 1 Asia Minor, 1 Indian, 26 Australian, and 1 New Zealand. This is a

singular distribution ; as the species are generally small, inconspicuous, and retired in habit, it may be

modified by future discoveries, but is probably explicable as follows ; the species have a distinct predi-

lection for arid and xerophytic regions, and it seems likely that Indian collectors have been disposed to

neglect country of this character, on the mistaken assumption that it is unproductive, and that the genus

will ultimately prove to be fairly represented in India, which should be its original home.

Larva sometimes apodal, usually feeding in galls on stems, but the New Zealand species is a

leaf-miner. !

of veins 3 and 4 of hindwings, with the result that veins 2-7 are all remote and more or less parallel, the

hindwings having typically the apex acutely produced and an abrupt emargination beneath it; this com-

bination of features is very characteristic and generally easily recognisable.

22. GENUS CATAMECES, TURNER

Catameces, Turner, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl. Vol. 31, p. 122 (1919). — Type : C. thiophara, Turner.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, basal joint

without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint very long, thickened anteriorly with long

rough scales forming a small apical tuft, terminal joint about half second, rather stout, acute. Maxillary

palpi very short, appressed to tongue. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa.

Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex pointed, strongly produced, termen sinuate; 3 and 4 remote, 5 nearer

6 than 4, 6 and 7 nearly parallel.

Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, which D* Turner considers to be of uncertain affinity.

It must however by the hindwings undoubtedly belong to this group, and I have thorefore ventured

to assume that his description of the termination of vein 7 of the forewings as apical is an inaccuracy,

since in this group it is invariably costal.

"Geographical distribution of species. — Australian.

numerous in that region, whence the single South European and group of three Australian species are

probably stragglers.

Larva (Aelicaula) living in a case formed of a silken refuse-covered tube coiled in a spiral cone of

three whorls, resembling a snail-shell (Helix).

Toxoceras, Chrétien, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. Vol. 84, p. 329 (1915). — Type: P. violacella, Chrétien.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c serrate,

ciliated, basal joint elongate, slender, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint beneath

with dense projecting apical tuft, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very

short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 16

'furcate, 2 from 1/2-3/4 of cell, 6 sometimes out of 7 near base, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, r1 from or

before middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal, apex produced, acute, termen emarginate, cilia 2 1/2-3; 3 and

4 remote, 5 nearer 6, 6 and 7 remote; in Q sometimes semiaborted or rudimentary.

Remarks. — The many curious analogies between this and the quite alien Oecophorid genus

Pleurota (probably connected with similarity of habits) are worthy of study.

Geographical distribution of species. — Europe (southern half), West-Central Asia, and

North Africa, 16; South Africa, 3; North America, 2; Australia, 24; New Zealand, r. This curious

distribution leaves the Australian and New Zealand section (which are similar in character to the

European) disconnected from the rest; I have not received a single individual from India. I can only

infer (as in Pleurota, of which the distribution is exactly similar) that the genus is really Australian in

origin, and that at an early period (perhaps coeval with Pleurofa) wind-borne immigrants were carried

LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

to Europe, whence subsequently America received a straggler; the South African Colony probably

indicates a separate southern immigration from Australia.

Larva (calamogona) feeding on seeds of grasses; it is quite likely this habit may be general.

33. GENUs ANOMOXENA, MEYRICK

Anomoxena, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 28 (1917). — Type : A. spinigera, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 5/6, in &' simple,

basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with whorls

of scales forming a series of separate acute projecting teeth beneath, terminal joint as long as second,

slightly thickened with scales, acute. Maxillary palpi minute, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior

tibiae clothed with rough projecting hairs above and beneath. Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from angle,

2-5 parallel, transverse vein very oblique outwards from 2 to 5, faint between 5 and 6, 6 and 7 stalked,

7 io costa, 8 separate, approximated to 6 at base, 11 from near middle. Hindwings 3/5, narrow-

trapezoidal, apex acute, strongly produced, termen emarginate, cilia 4; 2 remote, 3 and 4 nearly

parallel, 4 from angle, 4 and 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 approximated at base.

Remarks. — This curious genus differs from the whole of the family in having vein 8 of the

forewings separate from 7; in all the rest these veins are stalked or coincident. There can be no doubt

as to homology, since all veins are present. It is equally certain that the genus belongs to this family and

to the most specialised form of it as represented by the first two groups, since the highly characteristic

hindwings are found in no other. Hence it follows that the genus must be supposed to have descended

from a long line of ancestors in which the stalking of 7 and 8 was an invariable feature, and to have lost

that structure, probably by the gradual reduction and absorption of the stalk, thus affording a proved

instance of a modification contrary to expectation. The genus is probably derived from Aistotelia.

Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

Parapodia, Joannis, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 305 (1912). — Type : A. sinaica, Frauenfelder.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli small, posterior ; tongue developed. Antennae

4/5, in gf simple or ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi from moderate to very

long, second joint variably thickened with appressed scales or sometimes rough beneath, terminal joint

nearly as long as second or longer, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to

tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 from towards angle,

7 and 8 stalked, sometimes 6 out of 7 near base, or 7 and 8 out of 6, 7 to costa, 11 from middle.

Hindwings r or less than r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen sinuate or emarginate,

cilia 1 1/4-3; 3-5 remote, nearly parallel, 6 and 7 remote or somewhat approximated.

Remarks. — This extensive genus, which must be derived from a form approaching Recurvaria,

is doubtless of considerable age. It presents many difficulties, since there are numerous species so

closely allied together that their relations need very minute study, whilst others seem abruptly discon-

nected. There is much variation in the structure of the palpi, yet these differences are only specific, and.

sometimes occur in species otherwise very closely related; and similarly the variation in the structure

of veins 6-8 of the forewings occurs to some extent erratically, and would not define natural groups or

permit generic separation. The earlier forms of the genus are often elegantly and even brilliantly

coloured, but the later developments are eminently sombre and obscure. As they are also frequently

small and very retired in habit, it is likely that many species remain to be discovered in regions

imperfectly explored.

Geographical distribution of species. — Summarised as follows : 102 Palaearctic, 9 South

African, 19 Indian, 20 Australian, 1 New Zealand, 10 Hawaiian, 74 American, and r1 artificially

widespread (f?eltosema) of uncertain origin. This distribution and the characters noted above seem to

indicate that the home of the genus might be looked for in regions (unexplored for Micro-Lefidoftera) of

South. Central Asia. The Hawaiian species indicate a single original immigrant perhaps from South

America, whence also the New Zealand species.

Group 3 (Gelechia type)

This and the two next groups may be regarded as parallel lines of development, referable to a

common origin in some earlier form of the Brachmia group. The present group has vein 7 of the forewings

always terminating in the costa, vein 2 rising separately and usually from before the angle, and com-

monly a characteristic prevalent type of rough brush-like scaling on the second joint of the labial palpi

beneath, which however is lost again in the higher forms. The terminal joint of palpi tends to be marked

with two or sometimes three dark rings. Though very numerous the group is almost absent from India,

and little represented in Australia, its greatest development being in North America and Europe.

Theisoa, Chambers, ibidem, Vol, 6, p. 75 (1874). — Type : H. constrictella, Zeller.

Cacelice, Busck, Journ. N. York Ent. Soc. Vol. 1o, p. 93 (1902). — Type : H. ?allidochrella, Chambers.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c simple,

basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, smooth-scaled, second joint

somewhat thickened towards apex, terminal joint longer than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi

very small, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with tufts of

scales on surface; 1à furcate, 2 from angle, 3 and 4 stalked, 5 absent, 7 and 8 out of 6 or in c 8 absent,

7 to costa, 9 sometimes out of 6, 11 from middle. Hindwings 2/3, in both sexes narrow-lanceolate, or

in Q narrow-trapezoidal, apex produced, acute, termen sinuate, cilia 3-4; 3 and 4 stalked, 5 absent,

in Q 6 and transverse vein absent, in c 7 absent (or rarely abnormally present).

Remarks. — This extraordinary genus is an aberrant member of this group. The forms with

narrow-lanceolate hindwings and those with Gelechiad hindwings were originally regarded as belonging

to distinct genera and families, the former being referred to the Cosmofterygidae (in which however their

neuration would be quite abnormal), and the similarity in the characteristic markings being assumed to

be due to analogy or mimicry; but Miss Braün has now shown (Canad. Ent. Vol. 5r, p. 201, 1919) that

the two different forms denote the sexes of fallidochrella; it therefore becomes evident that Pal/idochrella

isa Gelechiad of which the &' has developed a hindwing of the Cosmopterygid form, and that the nearly

allied constrictella isa more advanced type in which a similar form of wing has been transferred to the

Q also. The explanation of these curious changes (which would have been deemed rima facie improbable

in the highest degree) still remains to be investigated. I am indebted to Miss Braun for examples of both

these species.

64. GENUS CLISTOTHYRIS, ZELLER

Clistothyris, Zeller, Hor. Soc Ent. Ross. Vol. 13, p. 33o (1877). — Type : C. villosula, Zeller.

Characters. — Head smooth; tongue short. Antennae in cj simple, basal joint elongate. Labial

palpi long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute.

Maxillary palpi very short. Posterior tibiae with long hairs above. Forewings above with a naked oval

glandular spot towards costa rather near base (beneath scaled). Hindwings r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex

pointed, termen slightly sinuate, oblique, cilia over r; hyaline median and subdorsal streaks, dorsal area

Remarks. — I have not seen this genus, and Zeller does not attempt to give the neuration,

therefore the standing of the genus is problematical: according to the figure and characters given it

appears to be related to Recurvaria or Efithectis; the glandular spot of forewings, and hyaline streaks and

dorsal hairs of hindwings should enable the genus and species to be recognised, but I probably should

not myself regard these as being of generic value.

Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

in gf simple or minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long,

recurved, second joint thickened with rough projecting often brush-like scales beneath, terminal joint as

long as second or nearly, moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue.

Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with raised scalesortufts on surface; 1 /furcate,

2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 6 sometimes out of 7 near base, 11 from middle.

Hindwings 1 or nearly, trapezoidal, apex pointed, sometimes produced, termen more or less sinuate,

cilia over 1; 3-5 separate, more or less approximated, 6 and 7 connate or stalked.

Remarks. — A derivative of Gelechia, from which it isseparated by the rough scales of forewings

and separation of veins 3 and 4 of hindwings; these characters are variable in development, but both

are present in all species known to me, though they have frequently been overlooked.

Geographical distribution of species, — Well developed in Europe, Africa, and North

America, problably also in Northern Asia, and extending into India and South America, but not known

from the Malayan region, Australia, or New Zealand.

Larva (26 known) feeding between spun leaves, rarely mining in leaves or in stem-galls.

Foodplants (almost always trees or shrubs) : Cupuliferae (9), Betulaceae (4), Rosaceae (2), Cistaceae (2),

and 9 other Orders.

74 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 2/3-4/5, in gf

simple or minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate. without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved,

second joint thickened with scales, rough and more or less furrowed beneath, terminal joint as long as

second or somewhat shorter or longer, rather slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform,

appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings rarely with rough scales;

1b furcate, 2 from 3/4 or towards angle, rarely 3 and 4 short-stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa,

6 sometimes out of 7 towards base, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or over r, trapezoidal, apex pointed or

obtuse, termen more or less sinuate, cilia 2/3-1 1/2; 3 and 4 connate or seldom short-stalked, 5 somewhat

approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated at base or connate or stalked.

Remarks. — Correlated with PA/Aorimaea as a parallel line of development. Such variation of

structure as occurs is gradual and indefinite, and does not allow of further natural subdivision. The -

greater part of the species are obscurely and similarly coloured, and their large number renders their

study difficult; but there is also a considerable proportion with conspicuous black and white colouring.

Many are retired in hapit, and only obtained readily by rearing the larvae.

Geographical distribution of species. — Summarised approximately (several species occur

in both Europe and North America, and it is uncertain with which they should be classed) as follows :

American 170, Palaearctic 146, South African 41, India 3, China rz, Australia 11, New Zealand 9. This

interesting distribution indicates an origin and extensive development in North America and the

Palaearctic region at a time (not very remote) when these two zoological areas had free interconnection.

by the north, and whilst the Indian peninsula was an island; thence the genus, constitutionally

habituated to temperate climates, spread to South America and South Africa mainly by the high lands;

it is apparently ill adapted to face the climate of India. The New Zealand species are interesting, since

they form a single connected group unquestionably allied to the North American species of the variabilis

group, and must (like most of the larger genera of New Zealand Lepidoptera) have travelled thither by

way of the Andes and the Antarctic lands. The Australian species (which have certainly no connection

with the New Zealand group) will probably be found eventually to have come from Eastern Asia by

way of the Philippines and New Guinea.

Larva (known for 76 species) feeding usually in spun leaves or shoots, very rarely mining in

leaves or fruits.

Foodplants : Leguminosae (14), Salicaceae (10), Polygonaceae (7), Rosaceae (6), Tamaricaceae (5),

Ericaceae (4), Cupuliferae (4), Anacardiaceae (3), Compositae (3), Musci (3) and 14 other orders (usually low

plants or shrubs).

97. GENUS PHTHORIMAEA, MEYRICK

Phthorimaea, Meyrick, Ent. M. Mag. Vol. 38, p. 103 (1902). — Type : T. oferculella, Zeller.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5,

in gf simple or minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long,

recurved, second joint thickened with scales, rough and furrowed beneath, terminal joint as long as

second or slightly shorter or longer, with appressed scales, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform,

appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings seldom with slight scale-tufts ;

15 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, seldom 6 out of 7 near base or 7 and 8 out

of 6, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or nearly, trapezoidal, apex more or less pointed, termen sinuate,

cilia 2/3 to nearly 2; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 subparallel, sometimes rather

approximated or bent inwards at base.

Remarks. — Probably correlated with Gelechia. The species are often obscure, variable, and

similar, requiring careful study, with knowledge of the larval habits : P. oferculella on. potato and

P.heliopbaontobacco are well-known and very injurious pests. The name Lia, Treitschke, was erroneously

applied to this genus by Heinemann and subsequent European authors.

Geographical distribution of species. — Summarised thus : Palaearctic 133, American 24,

South African 20, Indian 9, Australian 13, New Zealand 7. Hence it appears that Europe is the home

of this genus, where it may have originated at the same time that Ge/echía appeared in North America;

itis now spreading over the world, but in America, probably the scene of its first invasion, it has been

' largely supplanted by its own derivative Gnorimoschema, specially adapted to the large Composite flora of

that region.

Larva (74 known) feeding in spun shoots, or often mining in leaves or stems, sometimes forming

galls; almost always on low plants or herbs, rarely shrubs, never trees.

Foodplants : Caryofhyllaceae 25, Chenopodiaceae 14, Compositae 13, Solanaceae 13, and 8 other Orders

with only 2 or 1 species each, showing an extraordinary preference for the four first-named, of which

moreover the Caryophyllaceae and. Chenopodiaceae are genetically closely related; connected with this

preference is a fondness for dry and sandy localities, often also for sea-coasts. Further, when the species

are grouped by their natural affinities, it is found that, in the case of each of these four Orders, all the

species which feed on plants of one Order fall naturally together, without the intrusion of a single

species known to feed on another of the four; all the Caryophyllaceous feeders fall together, all the

Solanaceous (no other genus shows an equal attachment to Solanaceae) and so on. I am not acquainted

92 . LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

with any other large genus of Tinueina in which this holds. Hence the discovery of larval habits in this

genus is often easy.

98. GENUS POGOCHAETIA, STAUDINGER

Pogochaetia, Staudinger, Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross. Vol. 15, p. 310 (1880). — Type : P. solitaria, Staudinger.

Characters. — Head smooth; tongue short. Antennae 4/5, basal joint elongate, without pecten.

Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint beneath with rough projecting scales, with 6 or 7 long laterally

projecting bristles, terminal joint as long as second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, appressed

to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8

stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings somewhat over r, trapezoidal, apex pointed, termen sinuate; 3 and 4

connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 subparallel.

Remarks. — A derivative from the Caryophyllaceous-feeding group of PAthorimaea, only differing

from it by the curious character of the lateral bristles of the labial palpi, which is a feature quite abnormal

in this family.

Geographical distribution of species. — Mediterranean.

Larva (both known) feeding in flowers and seeds.

Foodplants Caryophyllaceae.

Sarotorna, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 29, p. 322 (1904). — Type: S. eridora, Meyrick.

Characters. — Ilead smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, basal joint

moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi rather long, recurved, second joint considerably

dilated with scales roughly projecting anteriorly beneath, almost tufted, laterally compressed, terminal

joint as long as second or much shorter, thickened with scales rather rough anteriorly, acute. Maxillary

palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings

with 2 from near angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, trapezoidal, apex

produced, round-pointed, termen sinuate, cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 remote, nearly

parallel.

Remarks. — Apparently related to Phthorimaea and Gnorimoschema, yet with palpi quite different

from both, and also peculiar in superficial appearance.

Geographical distribution of species. — Australian.

Larva unknown.

I. S. eridora, Meyrick, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol.29, p. 323 (1904). — New South Wales.

98 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4,

in d' simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint thickened c

with dense scales, forming a compact rough tuft at apex beneath, terminal joint longer than second,

moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with

hairs above. Forewings with 1? furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 and 4 approximated or connate, 7 and 8

stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings over r, trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate, cilia 2/3;

without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 stalked.

Remarks. — Correlated with early forms of Gelechia, which is its nearest ally. This genus has

been much misapprehended, partly through the inclusion of heterogeneous material, partly through the

erroneous assumption that it was close to Dichomeris, with which there is in fact no near relationship.

Geographical distribution of species. — Essentially European, but extending into Northwest

America, Siberia, and India. . :

Larva (6 known) feeding in spun shoots.

Foodplants : Scrophulariaceae (2), Coniferae (2), Salicaceae, Rhamnaceae.

I0Il. GENUS ANISOPLACA, MEYRICK

Anisoplaca, Meyrick, Trans. N. Zeal. Inst. Vol. 18, p. 171 (1886). — Type : A. PMyoplera, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in jf mode-

rately ciliated, basal joint elongate, rather stout, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second

joint with rough projecting scales beneath, sometimes prominent below apex, terminal joint nearly

as long as second or longer, stout, sometimes roughened anteriorly, acute. Maxillary palpi very short,

filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae roughly haired above. Forewings with r1? furcate, 2 from

about 3/4, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings over r, trapezoidal, termen rounded,

cilia 2/5; 3 and 4 connate or short-stalked, 5 nearly parallel to 4, 6 and 7 approximated and parallel on

basal half, then diverging. ;

FAM. GELECHIADJE 99

Remarks. — Though varying considerably in the development of the rough scaling of palpi,

these species are naturally associated together. The genus represents an archaic form of this group,

probably indicating the origin of Nothris, Gelechia and Platyedra.

Geographical distribution of species. — Represented by scattered species through the

Southern hemisphere, presumably. remnants of a larger number.

Group 4 (Anacampsis type)

In this group the labial palpi have the second joint characteristically smooth beneath, and those

forms which in other respects are most like Gelechia and its allies can always be separated from them by

this character; but there are also exceptional genera (as Semnostoma and Ethirostoma) in. which the palpi

have the second joint tufted or roughly haired beneath. The singular fine black and white transverse

ribbing of this joint displayed in many. species of Comfsolechia and certain other genera is confined to this

group. Instead of the dark rings of the previous group, the terminal joint of palpi tends to be marked

with longitudinal lines. In the forewings the apex shows a general tendency to be hooked or falcate,

sometimes very pronounced; vein 2 is usually separate and remote, but in the earlier forms sometimes

stalked with 3; and vein 7 usually runs to costa when present, but in the earlier forms sometimes to apex,

and is rather frequently absent (coincident with 8). In the hindwings veins 3 and 4 are normally connate,

6 and 7 connate or stalked; and rather frequently there is a cubital pecten (fringe of hairs on lower

margin of cell towards base) which is not found elsewhere in the family except in the Dichomeris group,

and is undoubtedly evidence of phylogenetic relationship with that group, supported by the other

structures noted above as primitive in the group. This group contains the most ornamental and highly

decorated members of the family, many of the tropical species being adorned with bright-coloured or

metallic markings; these probably fly in sunshine. The greatest development of the group is in South

America, which abounds in genera and species; there is also a marked but smaller development in the

Indian region; elsewhere the group is not prominent.

102. GENUS THYRSOSTOMA, MEYRICK

Thyrsostoma, Meyrick, Journ. Bomb. Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 17, p. 736 (1907). — Type : T. glaucitis,

Meyrick.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in f modera-

tely or strongly ciliated, basal joint very long, without pecten, second joint also often enlarged and

elongate. Labial palpi very long, recurved, smooth, second joint in &' with expanded fringe or long

expansible tuft of hairs enclosed in a furrow beneath, terminal joint as long as second or longer,

sometimes in cf thickened, more or less pointed, in Q slender, acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary.

Posterior tibiae with three expanded whorls of stiff scales. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 from towards

100 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

angle, 4 absent, 7 absent, 8 and 9 stalked, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings 1/2, very narrowly

elongate-trapezoidal, acutely pointed, cilia 4; 2-4 parallel, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 long-stalked.

Remarks. — A development of TAiotricha. The species are very similar, but good distinguishing

characters are found in the secondary sexual structures of the male palpi and antennae. In repose the

posterior legs are thrust forwards beneath the wings and erected on each side of the shoulders. "This

singular habit at once suggests Sfa/hmofoda (Heliodinidae), to which there is also an extraordinary resem-

blance, not only in superficial appearance but in many details of structure, and hence Stainton was led

to place the European Guerini actually in Stathmofoda (where it still remains in Staudinger's Catalogue),

though he correctly noted and emphasized the different form of hindwings, but without recognising

their Gelechiad type. No adequate explanation of these curious analogies in abnormal characters can

be given, but it is possible that local research in India would show that there is a third (non-Lepidopte-

rous) group of insects, of which both these genera are mimics.

Geographical distribution of species. — Indo-Malayan, with one species on the Mediter-

ranean.

second joint smooth-scaled or seldom rough at apex beneath, terminal joint as long as second or longer,

moderate, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with

hairs above. Forewings with apex more or less produced and subfalcate; 1? furcate, 2 from angle, 7 and

8 very long-stalked or coincident, 7 (if present) to costa, 11 from beyond middle. Hindwings under r,

elongate-trapezoidal, apex produced, acute, termen sinuate-emarginate, cilia 2-3; 3 and 4 connate or

short-stalked, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 long-stalked.

Remarks. — Structurally and superficially it would seem natural that this characteristic genus

should be the ancestor of TAiotricha and its allies, yet the geographical distribution makes it highly

improbable. It is likely therefore that all are alike descended from a more ancient extinct form, of which

Polyhymno preserves the main features.

Geographical distribution of species. — Summarised thus : African 16, American 10,

Indian 1. This is therefore one of the comparatively few genera (as Tiquadra and Ceromitia) exhibiting

direct faunal connection between Africa and America.

Calliprora, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 242 (1914). — Type : C. Pentagramma, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head smooth ; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in c simple,

basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint somewhat

thickened with appressed scales, terminal joint longer than second, slender, acute. Maxillary palpi very

short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae with appressed scales, with whorls of projecting

middle. Hindwings :, elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen concave beneath apex,

cilia 1; 3 and 4 connate, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 connate.

Remarks. — Probably correlated with the preceding, from which it is distinguished by the falcate

apex of forewings, and veins 6 and 7 of hindwings not long-stalked; it is always easily recognisable by

the characteristic and elegant superficial appearance,

Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

Sophronia, Hübner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 407 (1826). — Type : S. illustrella, Hübner.

Characters. — Head with dense appressed scales; ocelli conspicuous, posterior; tongue

developed. Antennae 2/3, in. C shortly ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very

long, recurved, second joint with very long dense rough projecting tuft beneath, terminal joint as long

approximated, 6 and 7 stalked.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 107

Remarks. — This somewhat puzzling but natural genus is probably referable here, notwith-

standing the strong tuft of palpi; certainly it has no near relation to the Dichomeris group, with which it

has been usually associated,

Geographical distribution of species. — Especially characteristic of the European region,

but extending into America. I have also an unpublished species from South Africa.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5,

in gf ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened

with dense scales, somewhat rough beneath and with rough projecting scales above, terminal joint as

long as second, variably thickened with scales more or less roughly projecting posteriorly, acute.

Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings

natural, but has been subject to much misapprehension, and also to much confusion of nomenclature,

the name Anacamfsis being often wrongly applied to it.

Geographical distribution of species. — Perhaps Mediterranean in origin; about half the

species are Palaearctic, the rest occurring in diminishing numbers in all the other regions, but barely

represented in Australia and in New Zealand only by one introduced species. Certain species have been

widely introduced with cultivated foodplants.

Larva (16 species known) feeding usually between spun leaves, seldom in stems or mining in

leaves or fruits.

Foodplants usually Leguminosae (13), but also Linaceae, Rubiaceae, U mbelliferae.

132. GENUS MOLOPOSTOLA, MEYRICK

Molopostola, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 298 (1920). — Type : M. rufitecta, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4,

in gf simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi long, curved, ascending, or in Q nearly

straight, porrected, second joint much thickened with dense scales roughly projecting above, terminal

joint shorter than second, in Q sometimes much shorter, thickened with appressed scales, slightly rough

anteriorly, pointed. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed

with long hairs above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 from 3/4, 3 from before angle, 4 and 5 stalked or

connate from angle, 7 absent, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, rounded-trapezoidal, termen hardly sinuate,

cilia 3/5; without cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 connate.

Remarks. — A development from Promolopica, differing from it by the loss of vein 7 of forewings,

and of the cubital pecten of hindwings.

Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

Larva unknown.

133. GENus PROMOLOPICA, NOV. GEN.

Tyne : P. epiphanta, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, basal joint

elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi ( 9 ) long, porrected, second joint long, thickened with dense scales,

above with rough projecting hairs diminishing to apex, terminal joint hardly 1/3 of second, thickened

with scales rather rough beneath, pointed (in cf perhaps more as Molofostola). Maxillary palpi very short,

appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae rough-scaled above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 from 3/4, 3 from

before angle, 4 and 5 connate from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1,

134. GENUS COLEOSTOMA, MEYRICK

Coleostoma, Meyrick, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 99 (1922). — Type : C. entryphofa, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts somewhat raised; ocelli small, posterior;

tongue developed. Antennae nearly r, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very

long. recurved, second joint broadly thickened with dense scales, slightly expanded at apex above, ter-

minal joint as long as second, thickened with dense scales roughly projecting posteriorly except at apex,

pointed. Maxillary palpi short, loosely scaled, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae shortly rough-scaled

above. Forewings with rà furcate, 2 from towards angle, 3 from before angle, 4 and 5 approximated,

7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 11 from middle. Hindwings somewhat over r, trapezoidal ovate, apex obtuse,

termen faintly bisinuate, cilia 1/2; with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 approximated, 6 and 7 closely

approximated towards base.

Remarks. — Also a development from Conbfsolechia with specialised palpi.

Geographical distribution of species. — South American.

Larva unknown.

135. GeENUus COMPSOLEOCHIA, MEYRICK

Compsolechia, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 137 (1918). — Type : C. vefandella, Walker.

Characters. — Head smooth; ocelli small, posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5, in c

simple or shortly ciliated, basal joint elongate, slender, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved,

second joint smooth-scaled, compressed, terminal joint longer than second, slender, acute. Maxillary

palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae more or less shortly rough-scaled above.

Forewings with rb furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa (in euzygyfsa 7 absent),

II from middle. Hindwings ri or over r, trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen not or slightly sinuate,

cilia 1/3-1 ; with cubital pecten; 3 and 4 connate, 5 somewhat approximated, 6 and 7 nearly approximated

at base.

Remarks. — Correlated with Anacamjfsis. The species are elegantly marked but sometimes very

similar, and require careful attention to detail.

Geographical distribution of species. — Characteristic of South America, where the genus

is nümerously developed, apparently spreading thence to North America and Europe, with stragglers

in Japan and South Africa.

Group 5 (Protolechia type)

The species of this group have the general aspect of Gelechia, though tending to be broader-

winged, especially in the earlier forms, but are usually characterised by having veins 2 and 3 of the

forewings stalked, and 6 and 7 of hindwings parallel. Vein 7 of forewings when present always runs to

costa (except in PAhloeograftis to apex); 3 and 4 of hindwings are always connate, and the cubital pecten

is abseut, The group is almost entirely confined to Australia, where it must have been developed in .

seclusion. :

more or less thickened with appressed scales, loose or somewhat rough beneath, terminal joint as long

as second or shorter, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae

clothed with hairs above. Forewings with 15 furcate, 2 and 3 connate or stalked, or seldom nearly

approximated and then 2 curved from angle, 7 and 8 stalked, seldom 6 out of 7 near base, 7 to costa,

1I from middle. Hindwings 1 or over rz, trapezoidal-ovate, apex obtuse or pointed, termen sometimes

sinuate, cilia 3/5-4/5; 3 and 4 connate, 5 rather approximated to 4, 6 and 7 nearly parallel, rarely 8

anastomosing shortly with upper margin of cell.

Remarks. — This characteristic genus may be regarded as originating from a form of the

Brachmia group. The numerous species are in general obscurely coloured and adapted to concealment,

especially perhaps on tree-trunks.

Geographical distribution of species. — Exclusively Australian.

Larva (7 known) usually feeding in spun leaves, but one mining blotches in leaves.

Group 6 (Chelaria type)

Specialised forms constituting a rather recent line of development from a common origin with

the Compsolechia group. They are commonly marked by more or less tufting of the palpi, especially by

posterior scale-projections and several dark rings on a long terminal joint, but in 4sarsía the terminal

joint is usually aborted in the c. The forewings often have tufts of scales; vein 2 is separate, 3 tending

rather to unite with 4, 7 to costa; in the hindwings veins 3 and 4 are connate or nearly approximated

towards base, 6 and 7 nearly approximated or stalked (except T/iophora), the cubital pecten never

present. The species are generally narrow-winged, and a small dark median costal spot is a very usual

and characteristic feature.

193. GENUS ANARSIA, ZELLER

Anarsia, Zeller, Isis, p. 190 (1839). — Type : A. spartiella, Schranck.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5,

in cf simple, basal joint moderately elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi with scales of second joint

forming a dense projecting tuft beneath, terminal joint in cf very short, usually concealed, in Q longer

than second, ascending, acute, or rarely as in gf. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to

tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with r5 furcate, 2 and 3 separate, parallel,

7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, 6 sometimes out of 8 near base, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1, trapezoidal,

termen hardly sinuate, cilia 3/4-1 1/4; 3 and 4 connate or approximated, 5 rather approximated to 4,

6 and 7 stalked or seldom approximated.

Remarks. — A derivative of Chelaria. The species are often similar in appearance, but then

generally possess easy distinctions in the secondary sexual hair-pencils and scale-patches of the wings

in the gf.

Geographical distribution of species. — Essentially Indo-Malayan and African, but with a

few representatives in Australia and the Palaearctic region, one of which has been introduced into

America.

Larva (18 known) feeding in spun leaves, or sometimes in fruits or shoots.

194. GENUs DOLEROTRICHA, NOV. GEN.

Type : D. flabellifera, Rebel.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; tongue developed. Antennae 3/4, in Cf simple,

basal joint without pecten. Labial palpi with second joint densely scaled, with long dense projecting

tuft beneath, terminal joint moderate, pointed, strongly reflexed, wholly concealed in scales of second.

Maxillary palpi very short. Forewings with 2 separate, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa. Hindwings over r,

trapezoidal, apex pointed, termen somewhat sinuate; 3 and 4 connate, 6 and 7 connate (?).

Remarks. — The typical species (described from a single specimen), which I have not seen,

is placed by its author in Nofhris, but with the admission that the peculiar form of the palpi should

justify a new genus. This is now called for; I give the characters as they seem to have been conceived

by Rebel, but the neuration was apparently imperfectly ascertained.

Geographical distribution of species. — North African.

Larva unknown.

Palintropa, Meyrick, Journ. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. 22, p. 160 (1913). — Type : P. hippica,

Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5,

in cf serrulate, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint

thickened with dense scales above, beneath with broad rough tuft of projecting scales, terminal joint

longer than second, thickened with scales, posteriorly with dense rough projecting scales except at apex,

acute. Maxillary palpi short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae with rough scales above.

Forewings with 2 from angle, 3 absent, 6 to apex, 7 and 8 stalked, r1 from middle. Hindwings 2/3,

narrowly elongate-trapezoidal, apex pointed, produced, termen beneath apex bisinuate, very oblique,

cilia 3; 3 absent, 4 and 5 connate, 6 and 7 stalked,

Remarks. — A development of CAelaria.

Geographical distribution of species. — Indian.

Episacta, Turner, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl. Vol. 31, p. 161 (1919). — Type : C. discissa, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior ; tongue developed. Antennae 4/5,

in cf simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long, recurved, second joint with

double or single tuft beneath or rough-scaled, terminal joint longer than second, thickened with scales

often forming one or two projections posteriorly, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed

to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings usually with more or less developed

tufts of scales; 1 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 6 to apex or termen, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to costa, or

7 and 8 out of 6, 11 from middle. Hindwings r, elongate-trapezoidal, apex obtuse, termen more or less

bisinuate beneath apex, oblique, cilia about 1 ; 3-5 more or less approximated at base, 6 and 7 stalked or

closely approximated at base.

Remarks. — I am now satisfied that the variations in scaling of palpi and in neuration included

within this genus are only specific (they are reliable for discriminating species); so treated the genus

forms a natural and recognisable whole, of no excessive extent. Some of the Australian species are very

similar to one another and require observation of the genitalia, which happen to be remarkably diverse

and striking in character.

Group 7 (Dichomeris type)

A considerable group in general recognisable by the characteristic palpi, which have the second

' joint usually variously tufted or expanded beneath or above or both, the terminal long and acute; the

forewings have veins 2 and 3 asa rule stalked (yet exceptions occur freely in the more advanced forms),

7 running to costa or apex or rarely (probably by reversion) to termen; in the hindwings veins 3 and 4

are usually connate, 6 and 7 generally closely approximated or stalked, and the cubital pecten is more

often present. The group is well developed in all main regions, but absent from New Zealand. The larvae

are normally leaf-feeders.

Group 8 (Lecithocera type)

An extensive group with much generic development, of which the most noticeable prevailing

character is the length of the antennae, which are commonly as long as or longer than the forewings,

but this is not constant, and in some genera (especially but not exclusively the more primitive), which

cannot be advantageously separated, they are no longer than normal; there is also a not infrequent

tendency to long antennal ciliations in the c, or sometimes to thickening of the stalk, in those forms in

which the antennae are not especially long. The palpi are usually long and simple in structure, rarely

tufted, but sometimes curiously modified in the c. In the forewings the termination of vein 7 may be

costal, apical, or terminal, the last-named being the original type; 2 and 3 are usually stalked, but

sometimes even very widely remote in the more advanced forms. The hindwings generally show little

or no terminal sinuation; veins 3 and 4 are usually connate, stalked, or coincident, 6 and 7 connate or

more generally stalked; the cubital pecten is always absent. The group is especially characteristic of the

Indo-Malayan region, where it forms a very prominent feature; a certain number of forms derived from

this fauna are found in Africa, Australia and the Palaearctic region; from America the group is almost

wholly absent, and it is also not found in New Zealand. The larvae sometimes feed on leaves, but also

often on dead or dry vegetable substances, which was the primitive habit of the family.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 201

Characters. — Head with loosely appressed scales, sidetufts rather raised; ocelli posterior;

tongue developed. Antennae 2/3-3/4, in c simple or minutely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate,

without pecten. Labial palpi moderate or long, recurved, second joint thickened with dense scales,

sometimes somewhat projecting at apex beneath, terminal joint as long as second or rather shorter,

moderate or slender, acute.Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae

clothed with hairs above. Forewings sometimes with tufts of scales; rb furcate, 2 from towards angle,

3 from angle, seldom 3 and 4 stalked, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex or termen, r1 from middle. Hindwings r.

elongate-ovate or ovate lanceolate, cilia 1-1 1/4; 3 and 4 connate or stalked, 5 parallel, 6 and 7 stalked.

Remarks. — This genus, with its accessories, appears to form a subgroup or separate line of

descent parallel with the rest of the Lecithocera group and derived with it from primitive forms of the

Autosticha group, thus tending to exhibit some of the early Oecophorid-like features of its ancestors.

Geographical distribution of species. — Essentially Mediterranean, with a homogeneous

colony in India.

210 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae over 1,

in Gf simple, basal joint elongate, without pecten, in c* sometimes densely tufted. Labial palpi long,

recurved, second joint in cf sometimes clothed with long loose rough hairs or with fine expansible hairs

internally. in Q with appressed scales, rough beneath towards apex, terminal joint in jf sometimes very

short, thickened with scales, rough anteriorly, or obsolete, in Q (and sometimes gf) nearly or quite as

long as second, slender or loosely scaled, acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to

tongue. Posterior tibiae more or less rough-scaled, with large dense median tuft above; anterior tibiae

with brush ofscales beneath. Forewings with 1i furcate, 2 remote, 3 from angle, 7 and 8 stalked,

7 to apex or termen. 9 sometimes out of 7, 11 from middle. Hindwings 1 or over 1, trapezoidal, obtuse,

cilia 1/2-1; in gf 3 absent, 2 and 4 nearly approximated or stalked, in Q 2 remote, 3 and 4 connate

or stalked; 5 absent, 6 and 7 stalked; in c with expansible hairpencil in submedian groove.

Remarks. — Developed from a form approaching Frisilia, The tufted posterior legs of this and

the allied genera are obviously intended for display (the tuft is often partly metallic), and in an example

of T. phorcis the two posterior legs are projected beneath the wings and erected on each side of the

head, which 1 suppose to be the natural attitude of display, similar to that assumed by TAyrsostoma and

the Heliodinidae, but I am not aware of any record of the habit, and cannot explain its object. The

species of this genus are rather large insects, more or less conspicuously decorated, sometimes with

metallic markings; they evidently often occur plentifully, and their quaint appearance invites the

attention of observers.

Geographical distribution of species, — Characteristic of Ceylon, with some stragglers in

Southern India, one in Assam and one in Africa. This and the twelve preceding genera constitute a

striking natural group which seems to have originated in Ceylon and spread thence to Southern India,

only two species reaching Assam. ;

Larva unknown; it is not unlikely that the larval habits of the group may prove to be unusual

and distinctive.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales; ocelli posterior; tongue developed. Antennae r1 or

over r1, more or less thickened towards base, in O'simple or rarely ciliated, basal joint moderately elongate,

without pecten. Labial palpi long, recurved, second joint thickened with appressed scales, often somewhat

rough towards apex beneath, rarely with rough projecting scales beneath, terminal joint as long as

second or longer, slender, acute, or seldom in cj flat, obtuse. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform,

appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with hairs above. Forewings with ib furcate, 2 and

3 stalked or seldom coincident, 4 seldom stalked with 2 or sometimes stalked with 5, 5 from above angle,

3 and 4 connate or stalked or sometimes coincident, 5 rather approximated or nearly parallel, nearer

4 than 6, 6 and 7 stalked.

Remarks, — A development of Brachmia. 'The neuration varies sometimes within the limits of

the species, but usually furnishes good specific distinctions, which repay attention especially in the

unicolorous forms, The numerous species are often very similar and obscurely coloured, but their

differences, though small, are usually not difficult of apprehension; doubtless however a large number

of species remain to be discovered. Even the typical European /uticornella has been the subject of much

confusion among authors who have neglected to examine the neuration (correctly given by Herrich-

Scháffer).

Geographica! distribution of species, — Properly Indo-Malayan, in which region the

development is extensive, but with considerable colonies in Africa and Australia, barely represented in

Europe, and entirely absent from America (except one species apparently artificially introduced into

South America from the Philippines) and from New Zealand.

Larva entirely unknown; not improbably the habit observed in Sarisophora of feeding on dead

leaves may furnish a clue; also at least three species seem to have been spread artificially.

trapezoidal-ovate, cilia 3/5; 3 and 4 connate, 5 nearly parallel, 6 and 7 connate.

Remarks. — A derivative of Brachmia. In this family the termination of vein 7 of forewings may

be costal, apical, or terminal. but in no instance (except AmpArgenes) can the termination of vein 8 be

shown to be anything but costal; hence we must accept the view that the absent vein in the present

genus is 8.

over r, oblong-ovate, cilia 1/2; 3 and 4 connate, 5 slightly approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated

towards base.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 247

Remarks. — Of doubtful affinity; European authors used to include the species in Defressaria,

which is wholly out of the question; it is certainly a rather primitive form of the present family, but

somewhat peculiar.

252 : LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA

Group 9 (Autosticha type)

In this group are included a small number of early genera characterised by the absence of vein 7

and stalking of veins 2 and 3 of forewings, together with the remnants of those ancestral forms from

which they and the rest of the family appear to have been derived, approaching the Oecophorid type.

The cubital pecten is absent in the hindwings. The larvae appear to have the primitive habit of feeding

on vegetable refuse, lichens, etc. Geographically the group appears to be primarily Indian, yet with a

representative branch in America, and small colonies in Africa and Australia,

390. GENUS PROTOBATHRA, MEYRICK

Protobathra, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. r, p. 595 (1916). — Type : P. erista, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts raised; ocelli posterior; tongue developed.

Antennae 2/3, in c simple or ciliated, basal joint elongate, without pecten. Labial palpi very long,

recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint rather shorter than second. slender, acute.

Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior tibiae clothed with rough scales

above. Forewings with 2 from towards angle, 3-5 approximated, 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to apex, 11 from

middle. Hindwings somewhat over t, trapezoidal-ovate, termen slightly sinuate, cilia 1/2; 3 and 4 short

stalked, 5 rather approximated, 6 and 7 connate.

FAM. GELECHIAD/E 259

Remarks. — This genus is assumed to approach closely the primitive type of the family,

being such that all the preceding genera can be with probability derived from it, and differing so little

in all respects from CryPtolechia in the Oecophoridae, that it may naturally indicate the connection with

one of the earliest forms of that family.

Geographical distribution of species. — Indian, extending to Japan.

39l. GENUS AMPHIGENES, MEYRICK

Amphigenes, Meyrick, Exot. Microlep. Vol. 2, p. 436 (1921). — Type : A. fartarea, Meyrick.

Characters. — Head with appressed scales, sidetufts loosely spreading ; ocelli posterior; tongue

short, slender. Antennae 3/4, in c strongly ciliated, basal joint moderate, without pecten. Labial palpi

very long, recurved, second joint with appressed scales, terminal joint almost as long as second, slender,

acute. Maxillary palpi rudimentary. Posterior tibiae clothed with rather rough scales above. Forewings

with i5 furcate, 2 from towards angle, 7 and 8 stalked, 8 to apex, rir from middle. Hindwings r,

trapezoidal-ovate, cilia 1/4; 3 and 4 short-stalked, 5 hardly approximated, 6 and 7 closely approximated

at base.

Remarks. — Closely allied to the preceding genus, with which it is apparently correlated, but

differing from it and every other genus of the family by the apical termination of vein 8 of the forewings.

Geographical distribution of species. — Papuan.

Larva unknown.

INTRODUCTION

HE present study was inaugurated in 1i90oo at the suggestion of Dr. William

M. Wheeler, who had been gathering together a collection of Empidida during the

ten previous years. A paper on the Central American species was issued in 19or with

Dr. Wheeler as joint author. The next year was published a monograph

of the North American Empidida exclusive of the genus RAamfphomyia, and this has been

followed by several short papers in the intervening time. A sojourn of twenty years near the Pacific

Coast, where species of Empidide are particularly numerous, has enabled the writer to get together

an extremely rich collection of this family, numbering many hundreds of species and many thousands

ofspecimens. "This has been supplemented by specimens received from the following collectors, to

whom, naturally, the warmest gratitude is due. Their liberality in furnishing specimens has made

possible much of the following contribution. ;

A most important set of specimens was secured in the unworked material belonging to the United

States National Museum and that of the Bureau of Biological Survey. This represents the Empid

collecting of the Government entomologists and contains much material from the following : J. M:

Through the courtesy of C. Howard Curran the unworked Empid material belonging to the

Canadian National Museum has been procured and this collection has added several species to the

following pages.

A splendid reference collection of about five hundred determined species from Europe and other

foreign places has been gathered together through the interest of the following well known dipterests,

and has furnished a basis for much of the work.

India; E. O. Engel, Dachau, Germany; Richard Frey, Helsingfors, Finland; F. Hermann,

Berlin, Germany; F. W. Hutton, New Zealand (deceased); K. Kertész, Budapest (deceased);

William Lundbeck, Copenhagen, Denmark; David Miller, Wellington, New ZA; Lorenz

Oldenberg, Berlin, Germany; Gabriel Strobl, Admont, Austria. :

In the preparation of this work there have been studied the types of eighty-five per cent. of the

North American species, amounting to nearly four hundred species. The remainer, the types of the

species described by Say, Macquart, Bigot, Walker and Osten-Sacken, are either no longer

in existence or are not available to the American student.

The following pages include a discussion of the genera of the Empididz, a list of the known

species together with their bibliography, descriptions of new forms, and here and there tabular keys to

species, particularly to those of North America. (Unless otherwise designated the types of the new

species are in the author's collection. "Where no individual is mentioned by name as collector for the

new species, the material has been collected by the author. :

This study was presented at Harvard University in 1914 in fulfillment of the thesis requirement

for the degree of Doctor of Science. At that time the breaking out of the World War and its centrali-

zation in Belgium precluded publication in Wytsman's Genera Insectorum, and the report has

been held in abeyance during the meantime. It is now presented with the inclusions and modifications

necessitated by the lapse of ten years.

Phylogeny. — « These of course are not all the lines of evolution in Diptera, but I believe that

they are all irreversible, that evolution has never recovered anything once functionally lost. Moreover,

all, or nearly all these lines of evolution are polyphyletic, resulting in numerous cases of parallel resem-

blances which must be taken into account in any attempt at /rue classification. » (S. W. Williston,

Manual of Diptera, 3d. ed. p. 6r [1908].)

The Empidida include more diverse forms than any other family of Diptera. There is no

conservatism to an Empid type, indeed there is no Empid type. Between the full neuration of

Brachystoma and the reduced venation of the highly specialized Tetraneurella there is so great a range of

wing structure that one wonders why such diverse forms should be associated.

By usual assent the Empidida have been grouped with the Dolichopodidz, forming a

division of predatory flies called by Brauer the Orthogenya and by Verrall the Microphona.

More or less nearly related to these insects are such families as the Asilide, Bombyliidz and

Therevida, and more remotely in their ancestry such as the Leptidz and Rhyphidea. Characters

occurring in the Empididze and also possessed in common by this series of families may usually be

regarded as primitive. —Postulating thus, the ancestral Empid probably had wings with broadly

rounded anal angle, the costa encompassing the entire wing and margining the large alula and calypter

as well, the auxiliary vein distinct and complete, ending independently in the costa near or beyond the

middle of the wing, the first and second veins simple and long, terminating toward the end of the wing,

the third vein with a long fork, the pedicel of the second and third veins arising well toward the root of

the wing, the discal cell complete and emitting three simple posterior veins, a strong thickening or fold

in the wing membrane beneath the humeral crossvein, the basal cells long, the anal cell acute at its end

since the so-called anal crossvein was not at all recurved. Moreover the following characters were

probably indicated : head globular, eyes dichoptic and bare, proboscis short, antennz short, distinctly

three-jointed, the last joint ovate-conical and terminated by a three- or four-jointed short style. Thorax

small, the metathorax larger than the scutellum, no discal bristles, mesopleurz hairy, metapleurz bare,

but velvety in front of the spiracle ; abdomen slender, long and cylindrical, pygidium symmetrical and

small, no telescopic chitinized ovipositor. Legs simple, slender and elongate, without bristles or apical

spurs.

"There is of course no living Empid that combines these characters, nor is any such extinct form

known, but it is not difficult to picture a delicate bodied insect four or five millimeters in length, with

feeble powers of flight and with the structure given above. It would not be overstepping the bounds

ot analogy to predicate further that this insect was of cinereous brownish coloration, had yellowish legs

and hyaline wings, unmarked by a stigma, that it was predatory on smaller weaker insects and lived in

shady woods to the North, the adults appearing shortly after the winter snows had disappeared.

Evolution of the genera of the Empidida has proceeded along certain lines recognized as a

usual trend in the development of Diptera. Holopticism or the further development of contiguity of

the eyes of both sexes appear again and again. There is a frequent tendency to robustness, with gib-

bous thorax, to the introduction of leg armature, specialization of the genitalia, development of meta-

pleural setule. and of thoracic bristles, fusion of the basal joints of the antenne, a lengthening of the

style into an arista, and a decided lengthening and specialization of the proboscis. In the wings there

is a marked tendency toward reduction of the neuration, a shortening of the anterior and of the anal

veins, thinning of the hind margin, suppression of the alula and diminution of the anal angle in one

direction and lobation of it in another, and a shortening of the pedicels of the second and fourth veins

and of the fork of the third. It is such trends as these that Dr. Williston had in mind in his words

quoted at the beginning of this section. These tendencies toward specialization are not reversible : a

fly with a forked third vein has not descended from one in which this vein is simple, for example, nor

4 DIPTERA

has a genus with slender femora been produced by such forms as GEdalea or Lactistomyiía. But an

orthogenetic development of the highly specialized hind legs of these two genera does not necessarily

bespeak a phyletic relationship between the two, even though the resemblances are continued to such

details of structure as the setosity of the under side of the femur, the patellar bend at the knee, the

shortening of the tibia and lengthening of the trochanter and even the compression of the tibia to a flexor

edge. The similarities must be interpreted as parallel evolution, for GZdalea judged by its three posterior

veins and dichoptic condition, is more generalized than the thick-legged H ybotinz, and yet possesses

the specialized anal cell and antenna of the Ocydromiinz. Both of these genera are better regarded as

highly specialized convergent developments of two subfamilies, the result of an orthogenetic evolution.

In a group of predatory insects, such as the Empididz, it would be natural to look for raptorial legs,

andsuch an adaptation does occur in each of the main groups. In Hoflocyrtoma, Scelolabes and Paleoleptopesa

of the Ocydromiinz the hind legs are fitted for grasping, and in the last genus the adaptation dates back

to the Lower Oligocene. In P/atypalfus the middle legs are modified, even to the patellar bend, and a

similar but incipient tendency is noticeable in others of the Tachydromiinz as in certain species of

Elafhropesa and Tachypesa. In the Hemerodromiinze it is the front pair that is modified, and so success-

ful has this adaptation proved when on the first pair of legs that the coxze have become lengthened to

extend the reach. Of the Empidinze, Haflomera, Pachymeria, Enoplempis and certain species of :

Rhamfphomyia and Hilara present thickened femora.

It is my belief that the following tabulation of characters shows the principal lines of evolution

in the Empididz; that development has proceeded from the first set to the second and not in the reverse

direction except in some cases of retrograde specialization; and that when two related genera are com-

pared the one possessing a preponderance of the first listed characters is the more generalized and is

ancestrally older. Quite obviously no present day Empid is the direct ancestor of another, but with due

reservation, particularly with respect to homoplastic characters the tabulation will prove helpful in

plotting the phylogeny of the several groups.

While it is a general principle that an organ once functionally lost is never to be regained there

are however several instances in the preceding list of characters that appear confusing. For instance,

metapleural hairs occur in so many groups of flies, even when the rest of the pleura is bare, that they

would seem to be an atavic index. Inthe Empidide the metapleurs bear setz or hairs in the genera

centering about Empis, Clinocera and Chelipoda, all of which are specialized in their respective subfamilies.

Moreover in the forms near Hybos and Ocydromia the pollen of the pleura becomes villous on the meta-

pleura. These hairs probably bear some deep-seated relation to the little-understood structures at the

base of the wing and are also influenced by the metathoracic spiracle, which, in their best developed

form, they seem to protect. However in a single genus, e. g. Emfis, the metapleural hairs range in

number from a bushy coarse aggregation to but two or three fine hairs. Those species of Emfis with

but few hairs are in other respects not more primitive than Oreogeton which has a great cluster of meta-

pleural hairs, and more likely are losing these structures as the result of a recent retrograde specialization.

While such species will not be expected to give rise in the future to hairy forms, it is not so easy to be

assured that some of the bare species, like Toreus or Hesferempis, possess a primitive lack of metapleural

hairs or have lost them through secondary specialization.

An ancient stereotyped character that has much value in classification is to be found in the

course of the so-called anal crossvein. Originally this posterior branch of the cubitus ended indepen-

dently in the wing margin. Then for mechanical reasons it became flexed back, narrowing, closing

and finally shortening the anal cell. Among living diptera every transition can be found from the open

anal cell of RAyfAus to the minute vestige of a cell, as in the Acalypterates. In many forms the anal cell

6 DIPTERA

completely disappears. Within the family Empididz most of these transitions occur. Brachystoma

has a long pointed anal cell, closed toward the margin of the wing, the posterior cubitus continuing its

basal direction beyond the furcation. This is the primitive condition, possessed by the more generali-

zed families. In Emfíisthe posterior branch of the cubitus is abruptly reflexed and forms the hind

margin of the anal cell. In Climocera it is recurved rather than reflexed, but still is continuous with the

under side of the anal cell. In Axthalia this vein forms a true crossvein, perpendicular to the two sides

of the anal cell, apparently an intermediate condition. While this shortening of the anal cell isa mark

of specialization it does not mean that the reflexed vein of Emfis has necessarily passed through a per-

pendicular stage like that of An/halia. It probably had a sudden origin, or possibly passed through the

rounded condition observable in Clinocera. The closure of the anal cell affords a most valuable charac-

ter for the determination of the subfamilies of the Empididz. Those species with acute anal cell

invariably belong to either the H ybotinz or the Brachystomatinze. The OOcydromiinz, except

for Bicellaria, always have the perpendicular crossvein and this is likewise true of all the Tachydro-

miinz that have an anal cell. The reflexed anal vein is preeminently an Empidinz characteristic,

occurring outside of this subfamily only in one line of the Clinoceratinz and in Bicellaría.

There are numerous tendencies evident in the Empididz to develop parallel structures. A

strongly gibbous thorax, so characteristic of the Hybotinz, appears independently in Microfhorus,

Bicellaria and Anthalia. The first vein is setulose in Oreogeton and PAleboctena, which are not close relatives.

The pygidium is bent over the abdomen, forming an epipygium, in the groups about Clinocera, Hilara

and Microphorus. Holopticism has been produced in numerous unrelated genera. The Empidide

are further interesting in having extended the holoptic condition to the female, as in Syméallophthalmus

and in most of the Hy botinz. Moreover the eyes may be enlarged below the antennze instead of above.

This tendency is noticeable inthe Tachydromiinz, Hemerodromiine and Clinoceratinz, and

in the extreme cases, such as Hemerodromia and Stilfon, the eyes quite touch on theface. The formation

ofan arista is another example of homoplastic structures. The antenne throughout the family show

much variation and afford a series of good taxonomic characters, which however should not be stressed

as much as was done by Coquillett. In their generalized condition the antenne probably terminated in

a short three-jointed thickened style. The basal joint ofthe style disappeared by coalition with the

intermediate section, or apparently sometimes by fusion with the apex of the antenna, and in most forms

the terminal part remained as a bristle-like segment, shorter than the preceding. This style has been

replaced by an arista in many of the genera, but the mechanism of the change is obscure. The arista

usually manifests a small basal joint and an attenuated outer portion, which corresponds to the original

middle piece of the style. Among the most specialized genera of each of the subfamilies a lengthened

arista is to be found.

Metamorphosis. — The early stages of Empididze are relatively little known. — The larvz live

as predators or scavengers in the ground or in rotting wood. Some have been found in the forests

where the adults occur, some are semiaquatic, developing in mud. The species hibernate in the larval

stage, pupating in early spring. :

The larvze are cylindrical, more or less spindle-shaped, and comprise twelve segments. The

head is small, retractile, eyeless, with the two-jointed antennze small but well developed. The labial

plates and the longitudinal rods of the head meet angularly so that in profile they appear bent;

mandibles lunate, maxillary palpi small, labium comprising two arcuate bands contiguous and angulate

anteriorly. Prothoracic spiracles are small. Abdomen devoid of pseudopods or other appendages,

most segments with transverse ventral swellings, the locomotor spinules forming bands on the anterior

margins of the segments, the last segment more or less rounded, usually with a tooth or wart below on

the hind edge and with a pair of large well separated and sometimes more or less elevated spiracles

FAM. EMPIDID/E 7

above the lower protuberances. In the aquatic Hemerodromias the terminal spiracles are replaced by

a bunch of delicate external tracheze.

The pupa are free, not encased in the last larval skin. The head bears two small carinated

setigerous tubercles on the upper anterior part; antennal sheaths raised above the level of the face,

directed downward and slightly outward and tapering apically; proboscis elongated. The thorax is

generally furnished with long bristles but not with thorns. The respiratory organ may consist of short

stalks (Rhamphomyia) or be greatly elongated (Drafetis). .Prothoracic spiracles are present. The hind

tarsi extend much beyond the wings. The abdomen may be provided above with girdles of small teeth

alternating with bristles and ventrally with hairs alone, or may have a dense dorsal covering of small

spinules. Seven pairs of abdominal spiracles are present. In Hemerodromia eight pairs of very long

filiform tracheal tubes extend from the position of the spiracles.

Ethology and Occurrence. — Empidide are especially abundant in the spring and early

summer in the undergrowth of shady woods. They are prone to occur in mountainous districts and in

rather humid regions. While such is the general distribution several of the genera have adopted

specialized habitats. For example, most of the Clinoceratinz frequent running water, some resting

beside waterfalls or on water-splashed rocks in swift streams or even amphibiously entering the water;

species of the Hemerodromiina are to be found in the shady foliage overhanging the banks of

streams; Tachyfesa stalks over the trunks of smooth-barked trees; Tachydromia nimbly runs over rocks

in search of its minute prey ; Platyfalbus occurs in the summer and is pratal; while Chersodromia and its

allies are dwellers of the sea shore and as a consequence of strong sea breezes are loath to take to the

wing, in some instances having the wings abortive. In dry regions Empididz are rare, having given

place to their more powerful predatory relatives, the Asilidze. Asa group the Empididz are boreal,

though this impression may be the result of the large number of species recorded from the mountainous

regions of Europe and North America. Species occur in the tropics, notably the yellow-bodied

Drapetis and Syneches, and a not inconsiderable number are known from the southern hemisphere. The

small size, soft consistency and usual lack of distinction make the Empididz less desirable objects of

collection than the more striking exotic species, which may explain why some regions have produced a

meager Empid fauna to date.

Feeding Habits. — Most adult Empidide are predatory on small insects, notably the

Diptera, the proboscis being developed for piercing the bodies of their victims. To assist in the capture

of prey one or the other pairs of legs are sometimes modified into raptorial organs fitted with holding

spines. Various insects are caught for their body-juices, but principally Diptera are selected. The

larger species of Empis prefer the Bibios, the smaller species of Emis procure Cecidomyias. The

prey of Hybosis usually hymenopterous. Many Empididz are cannibalistic, feeding either on smaller

related forms or even on members of their own species. An interesting way of procuring a miscel-

laneous lot of insects is to imprison a swarm of dance-flies in the net and sort over the victims dropped

bythe Empids. Borboride, Chironomide, Blepharoceride, Bibionide, Psychodide,

other Empidide, etc., sometimes rare species, are in the haul, and nearly always not having been

crushed by their captors are in good taxonomic condition. ;

Many Empididz frequent flowers. Of the Anthophilous species, some, like AzAhalia, have a

soft proboscis and perhaps are dependent on nectar, while others, like Emfis or Drafetis, use their

mouthparts also for the capture of insect prey.

Ansemotropism. — Because of the strange habit of some species of RAamfhomyia, Empis and

Hilara ot hovering and zig-zagging in the air in swarms, the family designation of Dance-flies has

8 DIPTERA

been bestowed on the Empididz. Rhamfhomyia sociabilis is one of the most striking of the early sum-

mer species in Washington. By thousands it dances up and down, in and out, in an immense swarm,

sometimes in the open and sometimes in the shade of a large tree. Some species of Emfis skim back

and forth in numbers among the tree tops. Reacting to air currents the group rises or lowers in a

synchronized aerial dance. Other species of Emfis and Rhamfhomyia perform their dance closer to the

ground, among underbrush or in the open spaces beneath forest trees. The species of Hilara and

Rhamphomyia that hover over water weave in and out, in leisurely or in rapid erratic flight, barely missing

the surface. The large metatarsi of the male Hilaras may touch the water but the insects are not wetted.

In this surface dance the Hilaras may congregate on some small floating object and drift down stream,

shortly to separate and return. Usually males predominate in the air-dances of the Empids.

Courtship. — No group of the Diptera offers more interesting and varied details of pygidial

structure than the Empididaz. With the elaboration of primary and secondary sexual structures in

Pygidium, legs, wings, mouth-parts and vestiture, there has evolved a complex series of mating habits,

The significance of many of the cases of sex dimorphism is not understood, since the mating of most of

the species has not been observed. The procuring of insect prey and the anzmotropic dances just

described are manifestations of the courtship instinct. Hamm and Poulton have suggested an evolu-

tionary sequence in the complexity of behavior, the stages in the use of prey being somewhat as follows.

1. Prey devoured by both sexes independently of mating. Examples, Tachydromia, Hybos, some

species of Emfis.

2. The prey provided by the male as a gift anticipatory to copulation is devoured, or sucked by

the female during amplexus. Examples, Pachymeria, Rhamphomyia, Empis spp.

3. The prey or object provided by the male is not devoured by the female, but acts as a love-

charm or stimulus to insure amplexus. Examples, Hilara, Enoflempis.

Where prey is passed from the male to the female, as in the second and third stages, the act is

regarded as a physiological necessity for copulation. Since Empididsz are cannibalistic the offering

of prey to the female may have first functioned to divert her attention from her consort. Many antho-

philous females have never been seen to imbibe insect juices except at the moment of copulation,

dropping the prey furnished by their mates as soon as the sexes separate. With these species the use

of insect prey is to be regarded as a philter, a stimulus rather than nourishment for the female.

A. T. Hamm has made extensive observations on the mating habits of English Empidide.

While there are of course species differences in behavior, the descriptions of two types observed by him

are here given as characteristic. — Empis trigramma is one of the species that does not depend on the

transfer of a love-token during the wooing process. A male alights on a leaf near a female, flutters the

wings and raises and waves the front legs. The female responds with the same actions. 'The male

then rubs the front tarsi together while vibrating the wings, and the female repeats these motions. As

the two approach each other they caress each other's front tarsi, whereupon the female elevates the tip

of the abdomen and the male deftly flies to her back and copulation ensues.

Among the species where the male lures his mate with prey Mr. Hamm observed the male of

several species of Empis pounce on a fly, holding it with the posterior legs while it inserted the proboscis

into the neck to pierce the ganglia behind. With this quieted offering the male either zig-zags over

the resting females, or, in the case where the females are engaged in their aerial dance, flies into the

circle, bearing the victim encircled by his middle legs. The selected female is chased, overtaken, and

during a struggle of a few seconds duration the offering is transferred to the female, and the pair settles

in copula to the herbage below. The male is apt to support his burden by hanging to a leaf by his

front legs, tightly clasping his mate with the posterior legs. While copulating the female squeezes the

FAM. EMPIDIDZE 9

prey continuously, methodically inserting the proboscis in various places, but after a few minutes,

dependent upon the size of the prey, she terminates the copulation, drops the prey, cleans her pro-

boscis, and the two fly away.

The male of Emjpis aerobatica uses a small midge as a nucleus about which it fashions a large frothy

balloon. Flying with this structure between its hind legs it attracts a female who alights on the back of

her selected mate. The two then settle slowly to the ground, and after copulation has been completed

discard the balloon. Some of the European species of Hilara have developed almost exactly the same

method of balloon construction during courtship. In these cases it is the balloon rather than the

original midge about which it was constructed that furnishes the stimulus for sexual selection because

sometimes the minute insect is omitted. Balloons that have been dropped, probably after pairing, are

utilized again by other males.

The appearance of so specialized a habit as balloon construction in Emjisin America and in

Hilara in Europe might suggest phyletic significance. [It is more plausible, however, to regard the

habit as a simultaneous outgrowth from the general habit of offering prey for sexual selection, the result

of the ability to blow viscous bubbles.

'The sexual dimorphism of B. serratula is most striking. Besides the genital differences, the legs

of the male are curiously modified and even its neuration is changed. In this species some of the hairs

of the hind margin of the wing are bent forward on the inner surface to form a long curved fringe.

NOMENCLATURE

Type species : B. vesiculosum, Fabricius (Pl. |, Fig. 2). Westwood in 1840 designated

longicornis Meigen as the type, a species which Rondani later made the type of his genus Tvichopeza, but

Blanchard, also in 1840, selected vesiculosum as the type of. Brachystoma, a procedure which has been

since followed.

There seems to be no satisfactory distinction between Brachystoma and Blepharoprocta. The latter

group, as exemplified by binummus, has the marginal cell closed, the end of the female abdomen not

inflated, the male legs distorted and there is a prominent fringe on the pygidium. None of these char-

acters occur in Brachystoma. — However, in Roberisonti, which was described as a Brachystoma, the

marginal cell is open, but the pygidial fringe is lacking and the abdomen of the female is narrow. In

nigrimana, which Coquillett considered the type of Blefharoprocía, the legs are simple and the pygidial

fringe is quite inconspicuous. I have a specimen of nigrimana lacking the fork of the third vein in one

wing, showing that this character also is unstable. Serratula and binummus are the female and male

respectively of the same species. Heterophlebus was proposed by Philippi shortly after the publication

of Blepharoprocta, and was based on the same character, the closure of the marginal cell.

Characters, — Thorax greatly convex, head hemispherical, eyes large, bare, contiguous above

the antennz at least in the male, so as to crowd out the front, the ocelli located on a prominent tubercle

situated on the very summit of the head, upper facets larger than the lower, a distinct horizontal line

extending across the eyes at the level of the antennz; proboscis porrect, usually styliform, short in the

aberrant Tasmanian genera Iromomyia and Sciadocera, palpi never broad, sometimes linear and projec-

ting, sometimes short; antenna small, three-jointed, but the basal joints immovably fused, no strong

sete on the antennz, third joint more or less elongate oval, arista long, very thin and bare, usually

terminal, rarely subdorsal, in Megkyferus sometimes replaced by a thick style; no cephalic bristles, a

pair of small ocellar hairs. Humeri pronounced, disk of the mesonotum devoid of true bristles, some-

times pilose, sometimes a prescutellar pair of reduced dorsocentrals, two or three notopleural bristles

present, scutellum margined with hairs of which the apical two are sometimes bristle-like ; pleurze

entirely devoid of hairs. Abdomen comprising eight segments and the pygidium or true ovipositor, the

pygidium small and bilaterally constructed in the Syneches and Meghyferus groups, or usually larger and

consisting of opposing upper and lower valves in the 77ybos group. Hind legs usually large, with their

coxe the strongest pair, their femora incrassate and spinose beneath and longer than their tibiz; ante-

rior tibiae and tarsi often furnished with long bristles, hind tibiae clavate in Meghyperus and. Syndyas ;

pulvilli large, empodium minute and bristly. Calypteres rather large, separated from the root of the

wing and densely fringed. Wings rather broad, the anal angle strongly developed, rectangular, costal

margin hairy, costal bristle small, costa continuing to the fourth vein, humeral crossvein well formed,

auxiliary vein straight, usually parallel with and close to the first vein and vanishing before it attains the

costa, first vein ending beyond the middle of the wing, stigma usually more or less evident, sometimes

prominent with the second vein curving down around it, discal cell usually large and elongate, situated

(i) Anomalempis tacomse, nov. sp. — Female. Length 2.5 mm. Black species, occiput subshining, front

and face brown pollinose, mouthparts and antenne black. Mesonotum polished, its hairs black, pleure entirely dull

pollinose, Abdomen polished, its fine hairs pale. Halteres pale yellow, calypteres and fringe sordid. Wings hyaline,

only the faintest indication of a stigma, costal sections 1 : 1 : 0.6 : 0.8 (end of third vein a little beyong wing-tip) : 0.3: 0.4:

0.4, underside of discal cell 3 : 2, sections of fifth vein equal.

A single specimen of this curious fly was discovered during August 1917, in Paradise Park on Mt. Rainier,

Washington.

16 DIPTERA

in the middle of the wing, emitting two posterior veins of which the anterior is furcate in two of the

genera, in the aberrant Tasmanian genera Ironomyia and Sciadocera there are three posterior veins and

the basal cells are small, otherwise the basal cells long, nearly equal in extent as the anterior crossvein -

is placed well toward the base of the discal cell, anal crossvein never recurved but continuing perpen-

dicularly to the wing axis toward the hind margin, the anal cell, always formed, is thus longer than the

second basal and its outer lower angle is acute. A distinct alula is present in Meghyferus.

This subfamily is the best circumscribed of all. By the earlier writers it was considered as a

distinct family, the Hybotide, but during the last half century it has been amalgamated with the

Empidida. In the Hybotinz the anal crossvein, the chief character of the subfamily, continues more

or less parallel with the hind margin so as to elongate the anal cell, but in Meghyferus it is so curved as

to meet the anal vein almost at a right angle.

Meghyperus forms an aberrant genus in the Hybotinz. The presence of a strong M the sepa-

ration of the auxiliary vein, the forked fourth vein, the broad front of the female and the lack of a long

arista, are all weighty characters at variance with the other genera and suggestive of the genus: Prorates

Melander, which is discussed at the conclusion of this fascicle as being removed to the Bombyliidz.

Characters. — Black-colored species measuring four to five millimeters, with downward curved

abdomen, light pollinose coating and long, spinose hind femora. Head rather globular, the eyes large,

meeting above the antennz up to the prominent ocellar triangle which is placed on the summit of the

vertex, below the antennze the eyes are approximated but leave a distinct shortened face; no cheeks;

proboscis slender, projecting forward as far as the length of the head, the palpi long and slender; antenne

short, located below the middle of the head, the basal joints fused, the third joint oval and with a long

slender terminal arista; no cephalic bristles. Thorax highly arched, less convex before the scutellum,

prothorax quadrangular, appearing as a neck; rows of hair-like acrostichal and dorsocentral bristles,

- humeri with hairs, two or three notopleural, two scutellar and one small postalar bristles present; pleurze

pollinose but bare of hairs. Abdomen cylindrical, the pygidium more or less globose and large,

asymmetrical, with dorsal and ventral convex distorted plates; eighth segment of the female normally

retracted giving a blunt termination to the abdomen. Anterior legs hairy and bristly, especially in the

male, hind legs elongate, the femora rather clavate and spinose beneath, hind tibize shorter than their

femora, devoid of spurs, anterior tibize usually with apical bristles. "Wings with parallel margins, anal

angle prominent and rectangular, veins strong, costal margin closely short-hairy, very rarely spinose,

second vein ending near the tip of the wing, stigma weak, pedicel of the second and third veins arising

beyond the middle of the second basal cell, third and fourth veins both curving backward, the first

posterior ce!l not narrowed in the margin, discal cell narrow and long, complete, sending two simple

posterior veins to the margin, basal cells long and equal, the anal crossvein forming an acute angle with

the anal vein, no alula. Halteres most often light colored.

Type species : H. grossipes Linnaeus. Meigen's first species was fwwebris, which is syno-

nymous with grossifes. Curtis, in his British Entomology (1837), designated this as the type.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 19

Hendel would overthrow the classic name Zyóos in favor of the doubtful name Noeza, and in

this course unfortunately he has been followed by Kertész, Bezzi and Coquillett. This opens up

the question of the general acceptance of the abandoned names of Meigen's 180o paper, which; have

been contested by many zoologists. As in this early paper Meigen mentioned no species by name,

thus disregarding binonial nomenclature, as identification through his brief and broadly applicable des-

criptions is uncertain, and as it is impossible to determine the genotypes from the data in this paper

alone, it appears that nothing is to be gained by resurrecting the names of 1800 but much is to be

lost by the wholesale replacement of scores of generic names in common usage by names of questiona-

ble application. An extended discussion to this effect has already been penned by the writer (see,

Melander : Psyche, Vol. 17, p. 41-47(1910). Itis unfortunate that when the International Commis-

sion on Zoological Nomenclature had this specific case under consideration it decided in Opinion 28

(Smithsonian Publication 1989, p. 66, Oct. 1910) only that Meigen's 1800 paper had actually been

published. However, in Opinion 46, regarding the status of genera for which no species was distinctly

named in the originàl publication, the Commission has rendered its opinion that a genus becomes a

genus. dubium. when it is impossible to recognize any one of the original species for the genotype from

the original description. It is better to let these questionable genera remain doubtful than to attempt

at this late date to fix their genotypes, with the consequent overthrow of well known names of such

dominant genera as Rhamfhomyia, Platypalpus, Hybos and Clinocera. Therefore throughout this fascicle

Meigen's « Erstlingsarbeit » will not be seriously considered.

The species of Hybos are zstival, but occur among the shrubbery of woods. There are relatively

but few species, one only in the United States and three in Europe.

Characters. — Hunchbacked, shining black, pilose species with strong, spinose hind femora,

contiguous eyes, long ovipositor and reduced mouthparts. Head globular, largely composed of the

eyes, the occiput broadly conical and hairy but not bristly,ocellar prominence on the summit of the head,

no front, face or cheeks, due to the large eyes, rarely, however, a small narrowly triangular subantennal

space representing the face, sometimes continued as a line to the oral margin, antennal incision of the

eyes small, uppermost facets enlarged, a horizontal line extending through the middle of the eyes;

antennze three-jointed but the basal joints connate, the second joint with a circle of small hairs, the third

joint elongate oval or subulate, two to three times as long as broad, the terminal arista very slender,

thread-like, bare and averaging twice the antennal length; proboscis not half as long as the head, extend-

ing forward, when closed the two valves of the labella come together as a thin vertical lamella, palpi

minute, scarcely projecting, each with a preapical hair. Thorax greatly convex, humeri prominent,

prothorax quadrate when viewed from above, more or less densely and long pilose, typically no bristles,

except two notopleural and a pair of apical scutellars; pleure bare, the mesopleurz and sternopleure

shining, otherwise the pleure lightly coated with pollen. Abdomen elongate, cylindrical, devoid of

bristles but with long loose pale hairs toward base; pygidium terminal, rather large, ovoid in outline,

comprising an upper and a lower opposing convex valve, each of which terminates in a complicated

manner, between these a small elliptical plate on the left side and a delicate process on the right, an -

upcurved terminal filament, which is flattened, ribbon-like, hairy, and usually is long and attenuated

(1) Hybos xanthopodus, nov. sp. — Female. Length 4 mm. Third antennal joint three times as long as

wide, arista one and three-quarters times antennal length; upper facets large. Mesonotum very thinly dusted, a

or ending in a spearhead point; eighth segment of the female often widened or distorted, the ninth

segment elongate, drying in a characteristic way in museum specimens usually by becoming compressed

and showing chitin ridges above. Hind legs robust, the hind cox larger than the others, the trochan-

ters as large as the middle coxa and in the male often armed with a spine beneath, the hind femora

clavate, bearing strong spinous bristles beneath, which may arise from more or less developed tubercles,

more pronounced in the male, above often with two subapical bristles, middle tibi; with a series of

extensor bristles, long apical bristles present on the anterior tibize, anterior tarsi bearing long bristles both

above and below, hind tibie curved, geniculate at the knee, the inner surface of the hind tibize edged

and in the males of the $urpureus group excavated also, pulvilli large, empodium hair-like. Halteres

black in all the species; calypteres large and heavily fringed. Wings with large anal angle, often dark-

ened in color toward the base, costa stopping at the fourth vein, no basal bristle, costal hairs long and

abundant, costal cell sometimes widened, auxiliary vein straight, lying close to the first vein into which

it vanishes at the middle of the wing, first vein ending considerably beyond the middle of the wing,

second vein usually including a darkened stigma, third vein simple, the pedicel of the second and third

veins short, arising beyond the middle of the elongate basal cells, discal cell large, elongate, located

beyond the middle of the wing, complete, emitting two simple posterior veins, anal crossvein curved but

continuing toward the hind margin, anal vein veak but complete.

separated this genus from Hybos because of the contiguous eyes, short proboscis, lack of setulae beneath

the hind tarsi and black halteres. Additional characters are to be found in the more or less densely

pilose mesonotum which shows no trace of dorsocentralor serial bristles and is devoid of pollinose coating.

The ovipositor is drawn out, unlike in Hybos, and the pygidium is complex. In all the species the first

posterior cell is narrower at the apex than opposite the posterior crossvein.

Geographical distribution.

'The species are confined to North and South America. They are szstival, occurring most abun-

dantly in meadowlands, and are not common in shady mountainousregions. The males of some species

exhibit peculiar characters in the hind legs, which are more robust and spinose than in the female, and

in some species the femora bear stout spinigerous tubercles, which however, are unlike those of Lactis-

tomyia in being confined to a short extent and not distributed along the whole under surface. The females

of many of the species resemble each other so closely that they can be identified only with difticulty.

Identification characters in the genus are largely drawn from the secondary sexual structures of the male.

Variation is great, however, including even the bristles and tubercles of the hind legs and the conforma-

tion of the pygidium, which structures afford the most dependable indices to the species. "The known

species are related to each other in the manner shown by the following table.

is excavated and sharply margined, Halteres black. Wings hyaline or with very faint uniform brown tinge, stigma very

weak but filling out the marginal cell, costal cell narrow and straight in front.

Female, Thefemales supposedly of this species have the abdomen ending in a curious ovipositor and lack the heavy

armature of the legs. The eighth segment is elongate, bearing near the middle on each side a strong backward-projecting

spur, before which the segment is depressed and trapezoidal and beyond which the segment becomes more or less tubular.

White Mountains, New Hampshire, H. K. Morrison, collector. Type in the U. S. National Museum. In subjectus,

as determined by Coquillett, the hairs of the thorax are black, the base of the wings more or less brownish, especially

noticeable in the male, the ovipositor simple and slender and much less produced, and the hind metatarsi of the female bear

small spinous bristles on the outer side, Some specimens of subjectus have these spines black and others yellow in either sex.

Where they are yellow the base of the wings is less dark. I have specimens of subjectus from New Hampshire, Massachu-

setts, New York, New Jersey, District of Columbia and Georgia.

the two parts either equal or the one to the left smaller. "The variety símplex represents that stage where the left furcation

has disappeared. Normally in triplex the robust prong at the end of the left valve is more transversely directed.

reduced to three small bristles toward knee. Eighth abdominal segment corneous, bulbous on each side of base and contin-

uing as a long flattened ovipositor.

Two specimens, La Suiza de Turrialba, Costa Rica, Pablo Schild. "This curious species departs from the habitus of

its congeners, but not sufficiently to be removed to a separate genus. "The lengthened abdomen, elongate anterior feet with

their peculiar pulvilli, the pollinose thorax with developed dorsocentral bristles constitute a combination of characters

disagreeing from other species of Eu&ybos. The nearly obliterated face, short proboscis and chitinized ovipositor would

place the species in Euhybos rather than in Hybos,

Characters. — Robust, thorax and abdomen typically densely covered with fine reddish brown

tomentum. Head more or less hemispherical, the eyes (C') narrowly separated below the antennz, the

upper facets larger than the lower; antennz short, the outer joint elongate oval, with a long slender

terminal arista; proboscis slender, horizontally porrect,-a little shorter than the head; palpi slender,

porrect also; occipital bristles minute. "Thorax globose, very prominent, no bristles but with short

scattered fine reddish pubescence, longer at the sides and posteriorly and almost bristle-like at the

margin of the scutellum. Abdomen stout, cylindrical, deflexed posteriorly; pygidium large, flexed to

the right, consisting of large convex apically deformed dorsal and ventral valves and a short thin

compressed hastate terminal filament ; ovipositor elongate and narrow. Legs short, the hind femora and

tibie remarkably enlarged, the hind femora strongly tuberculate and spiny beneath, their tibi&» bare,

geniculate at the patella, curved, sharp on the inner edge and with flat sides, hind metatarsi longer than

the remainder of the tarsus. Wings rather narrowed apically, veins strong, no evident stigma, third

and fourth veins converging, the first posterior cell much narrower in the margin than at the posterior

crossvein, discal cell long and narrow.

Genotype : L. insolita Melander (Pl. b, Fig. 44), the original species. "The genus is restricted

to tropical America, with one new species from the Philippines. Coquillett, who had not seen spe-

cimens, concluded that Lactistomyia was synonymous with Zybes, but the genus is more related to

Euhybos, as shown by the femoral armature and narrowed apical cell. The relation of Hybos, Euhybos

and Lactistomyia to each other is closely paralleled by the groups of Synueches — i. e. Syneches, Epiceia and

Harpamerus, and shows the trend of specialization in the Hybotinz. There is a tendency toward the

closure of the first posterior cell, similar to that which is carried to a greater extent in the Syrphidae

or Tachinidze, and a corresponding tendency to an elaborate development of the hind legs.

Characters. — Jet black species with black legs, hemispherical head, greatly arched thorax,

clavate hind tibiz& and weak vein between the basal cells. Head relatively large, consisting almost

wholly of the eyes, which in both sexes are subcontiguous below the antenne and have the facets of

the upper half enlarged; outer antennal joint oval, with a long thread-like bare terminal arista; pro-

boscis projecting horizontally but shorter than the head, palpi linear; no cephalic bristles. Thorax

sparsely pilose, only a pair of notopleurals and a pair of scutellars developed bristle-like. Abdomen

cylindrical, curved downward, pygidium terminal, small and closed; last two segments of the female

abdomen tapering and drawn out to form a sort of ovipositor. Legs slender but the hind tibiae com-

pressed clavate and the hind metatarsi swollen, middle tibiz with slender bristles, hind femora spinulose

beneath, pulvilli rather small. Wings transparent, no stigma, costa with very short hairs and extending

to the fourth vein, pedicel of the second and third veins very short, turned up at its origin, third

vein simple, first posterior cell narrowed at the apex of the wing, discal cell smaller than usual, vein

between the first and second basal cells very weak or wanting, anal cell acutely pointed, anal vein

weak, no alula.

Tyne species : S. opaca, Loew's first species, which was Coquillett's designation in 1903.

Of the commonest species, folifa, the males differ from the females in having the tergites largely

opaque, but of dorsalis the tergites of the female are opaque also. The Oriental species etwmera possesses

greatly enlarged and spinose hind femora, and bears a similar relationship to the other species that

Harpamerus does to Syneches.

Parahybos by Bezzi. At first, the position of the arista, terminal in Acarterus and subapical in ParaAybos,

was thought a sufficient distinguishing trait to maintain the two as valid genera. But Bezzi has recently

found a series of East Indian species, evidently closely related, in which the location of the arista

varies. However, Loew's figures of Acarterus show the pedicel of the second and third veins much

abbreviated, the first vein unusually long. the arista decidedly shorter than the third antennal joint and

the thorax not greatly convex. The South African species can therefore not be congeneric with the

Oriental species placed in Acarterus and Parahybos, and the latter accordingly have here all been removed

to Parahybos, leaving Acarterus a monotypic genus.

Characters. — Greatly hunchbacked, usually opaque dark species, yellow, measuring three to

eight millimeters, sometimes wings clear or maculate, the stigma usually prominent, hind femora more or

less spinose, the notum not pilose. Head hemispherical, occiput flattened, eyes meeting from the antenne

to the highly perched ocellar tubercle, the upper facets very large, the front part of the eyes somewhat

flattened, antennal excision shallow; face narrow, retreating, no cheeks; antenne two-jointed, the basal

joints completely fused, the outer joint oval, with apical or subapical thread-like arista; proboscis styli-

form, porrect, about as long as the head, palpi usually linear but short and hairy. Thorax very highly

arched, notopleural suture short, pubescence sparse and short, notum more or less covered with close

short tomentum so as to take away any shine, the color accordingly variable depending on the angle of

view, bristles reduced to two notopleural, one dorsocentral and one postalar, but the scetellum margined

with many hair-like bristles; mesopleurze sometimes shining, as may be the mesonotum also in some

species. Abdomen tapering in both sexes, the pygidium very small and bilateral, last two segments of

the female forming a sort of short ovipositor. Legs variable, hind coxa not greatly enlarged, anterior

tibize sometimes bearing long bristles but usually bristleless, hind femora somewhat enlarged, longer than

their tibie, usually spinose beneath, always with at least several stiff flexor bristles, hind tibiae hairy, not

curved nor with flattened sides, sometimes more or less swollen at the apex, tarsi not incrassate, usually

lengthened but in some species the hind tarsi may be short and stout. "Wings rather large, anal angle

strongly rectangular, costa continuing to the fourth vein, no basal bristle, costal hairs inconspicuous,

pedicel of the second and third veins long, arising toward the base of the second basal cell, third vein

unforked, third and fourth veins parallel or converging, discal cell emitting two simple posterior veins.

Type species : S. simplex, Walker' s original species (Pl.1, Fig. 4). This insect was previously

described by Walker as Goma $Athia, according to Dr. Williston, who examined Walker's type. The

enigmatical crossveins in the description of ?4/Aia refer to the two stigmal markings.

Coquillett, in the paper on the Type Species of American Diptera, page 503, would make Syne-

ches a synonym of Acromyia Latreille. His argument that Latreille mentions the receipt from Bonelli of

a specimen named Acromyia asiliformis illustrates the fallacy of overthrowing accepted names on scanty

information. Sfomoxys asiliformis Fabricius is synonymous with Asilus muscarius Fabricius within the

present genus Syneches, but Bonelli' s reference to asiliformis is regarded as an erroneous identification

for Hybos grossipes. Thus Acromyia is synonymous with Hybos and is not to be linked with Syneches.

The species of Syneches do. not occur in the western part of North America but are not rare east

ofthe Rocky Mountains. They have been found in all the other continents except Australia. These

insects frequent meadowlands during the summer months and may be discovered in grass sweepings.

They are often quite variable in color within the species. Three artificial subgenera are recognized,

which are based on the following characters.

Syneches, sens. str. Hind femora not tuberculate nor greatly enlarged, but bearing several to many

bristles or spines beneath; third and fourth veins parallel, the first posterior cell not narrowed; body

color usually dark and opaque, wings sometimes maculate.

Type species : S. »h/hia, Walker.

Epiceia, Walker. Hind femora not greatly enlarged nor tuberculate, but bearing numerous spine-

like bristles beneath, anterior tibi sometimes bristly; third and fourth veins converging, the first poste-

40 DIPTERA

rior cell somewhat narrowed in the margin; body color often yellow, wings immaculate except for the

stigma.

Tyne species : E. ferruginea, Walker.

Harfamerus, Bigot. Hind femora of the male bearing strong teeth or tubercles beneath from each

of which extends a stout spine, hind tibiz of the male curved and tuberculate; anterior tibize sometimes

bearing long medial bristles; third and fourth veins converging, the first posterior cell somewhat narrowed

in the margin; wings immaculate except for the stigma. The species that lack the dorsocentral,

scutellar and tibial bristles havea broad abdomen. They may ultimately be segregated asa distinctgenus.

Type species : H. signatus, Bigot.

(2) Syneches planiceps, nov. sp. — Female. Length4-4.5 mm. Black, the mouthparts, front tibiz, base ot

hind tibiz, all tarsi and root of halteres yellowish ; thorax almost shining, the coating of golden pubescence sparse and

not forming definite marks when viewed from different angles, abdomen polished , hairs and bristles of body fine, sparse and

black, Bristles of front legs delicate and yellow, the strongest being at base of metatarsus, middle tibiee with two very long

black bristles at basal two-fifths in addition to other moderately long irregular delicate bristles, hind femora elongate,

with eight flexor bristles in anterior row, the last six arising from pronounced tubercles, the largest measuring half the

width of the femur, hind metatarsi somewhat swollen. Wings hyaline, veins narrow and black, stigma oval almost filling end

bounding veins slightly converging and then becoming parallel at tip of wing ; calypteres and fringe yellowish:

Six specimens secured from Pablo Schild who collected them near Turrialba, Costa Rica, during April and July.

Thetuberculate hind femora are suggestive of Harpamerus, but the distinct posterior dorsocentral bristles, the apical

scutellars, the very long setze of middletibize and the relatively slender hind femora and simple tibiz are as other species of

46 DIPTERA

Characters. — Thorax very strongly convex, subopaque, eyes separated on the face, arista

often subdorsal, hind femora not setose, slender, no longer than their tibiz, middle tarsi of the male

sometimes deformed, pygidium bilateral. Head hemispherical; proboscis horizontally porrect, as long

as the head, slender and pointed, palpi small; eyes with a horizontal line through the middle, but the

upper facets not abruptly enlarged. Thorax without bristles except laterally, scutellum with several

fine marginal hairs but no bristles; abdomen of the male somewhat upturned at the end, of the female .

tapering. Legs slender, often bearing curious bunches of hairs in the male sex, no extremely long

tibial seta» such as in Syneches, underside of the hind femora completely unarmed, middle tarsi of male

often shortened and distorted. Wings not large, stigma weak or absent, first posterior cell narrower in

the margin than opposite the posterior crossvein, discal cell elongate, no alula.

Type of the genus : P. iridipennis Kertész, the originalspecies. The genus Parahybos includes

Oriental species only. For a time it was considered as a very close relative of Acarterus, the latter name

being used for those species with subdorsal arista, As the recent discovery of additional species showed

that this character was too elusive to use, the name Parahybos was dropped. However, as explained

under the genus A«carterus, it seems that there has been a misconception of the African genus, and in

the present paper all the Oriental species are grouped together under the name Parahkybos,

Characters. — Small shining black species with forked fourth vein, conical style-bearing outer

antennal joint and well developed alula. Head globular, eyes of the male contiguous from the antennze

to the vertex, facets of the lowest third minute, eyes of the female broadly separated, the front shining,

face short, cheeks very narrow ; proboscis of sudeticus short, but in the American species the proboscis

of the male slender, projecting horizontally forward, slightly longer than the head, the palpi linear

elongate and porrect, and of the female the proboscis three times as long as the head, porrect, tipped

with a distinct labella, the palpi short and clavate, attached to the proboscis near its base; antennae

two-jointed, the thickened style of the outer joint in the American species slightly less than one-half

the length of that joint and tipped with a minute bristle, but in sudeticus the style is aristiform, tapering

and longer than the antennz. — Mesonotum moderately arched, its hairs roughly arranged in acrostichal

and dorsocentral rows, the hindermost dorsocentrals bristle-like, no hairs on the posterior declivity, about

six marginal scutellar bristles, three notopleurals; pleure entirely pollinose and bare. Abdomen with

loose long white hairs; male abdomen cylindrical, pygidium small, bilateral, the lateral valves fleshy

and reniform ; female abdomen tapering and less hairy. Anterior legs slender, no bristles, hind femora

scarcely thickened and not at all spinose, hind tibi: somewhat clavate, particularly in the male, hind

metatarsi somewhat swollen, pulvilli small. Wings hyaline, a more or less distinct oval stigma surround-

ing the end of the first vein, veins strong, costa straight, continuing to the anterior branch of the

fourth vein, basal bristle small, costal hairs poorly developed, auxiliary vein distinctly separated from

the first vein and vanishing at its end, third vein simple, petiole of the fourth vein as long as or longer

than the posterior crossvein, basal and anal cells coextensive, anal crossvein rounded so as sometimes to

meet the anal vein at a right angle, anal angle of the wing prominent, rectangular, alula of male much

larger than that of the female.

Type species : M. sudeticus, the original species.. The genus is interesting in the kind of sexual

dimorphism it displays; the broad front of the female, her lengthened proboscis and shortened palpi and

the difference in the size of the alula are unique in the Hybotinz. The European sudeticus differs rather

strangely from the American species in having a very short proboscis, a lengthened arista and, in the

female, a bulbous face.

FAM, EMPIDIDJE 49

SusBFAMILY OCYDROMIINZE

Characters. — Small, delicate species, usually with shining body and yellow legs, bristles

never strongly developed: thorax rarely very gibbous, shorter than the narrow cylindrical abdomen.

Head more or less globular, rarely somewhat hemispherical; eyes never hairy, of the males broadly

contiguous on the front (except in Lejtometopiella), the facets of the upper two-thirds usually large,

sometimes the eyes are contiguous in the females also (e. g. Leftopeza, etc.) in which case they meet on

the face as well; antenne often elongate due to a tendency toward enlargement of the third joint, the

first joint usually abortive or fused with the second, sometimes (QZdaiea) the third joint is remarkably

lengthened, sometimes (An?halia) this joint is broadly orbicular; the antennz terminate in a long bare

filiform arista, subdorsal in Ocydromia, or in a short, thickened two-jointed style, the latter rarely may

be entirely absent; proboscis usually very short, scarcely protruding, sometimes as long as the head and

more or less porrect; palpi small, single-jointed, usually narrowly cylindrical and with a few setze,

rarely the palpi are dilated; ocellar tubercle prominent in the male and then located on the very summit

of the head, in dichoptic females the ocelli are not raised and are placed in front of the vertex ; ocellar,

vertical and occipital bristles never strongly developed although present. Thorax without discal

bristles, the lateral bristles comprising a few notopleural, humeral, postalar and prescutellar bristles,

several marginal but no discal bristles to the scutellum ; pleure always devoid of bristles, but in Le$-

lopeza, etc., somewhat villose in front of the metathoracic spiracle. Abdomen of the male with loose

long fine hairs, pygidium small to minute, symmetrical, closed, the lateral valves largest, the dorsal valves

reduced; represented by filament-like appéndages, penis short and thick ; an ovipositor usually developed

from the last three or four segments. Legs typically slender and simple, sometimes (Qdalea, Scelolabes)

there is a tendency for the hind legs to become raptorial similar to the parallel development in the

Hybotinz; coxe never lengthened, tibizee without bristles, except in Lejtofeza and Hoflopeza, tarsi

normal, pulvilli small, empodium microscopic. Calypteres very small but with a well developed fringe.

Wings large, anal angle prominent and rectangular, except in Leptometopiella, no alula, costa evanescent

beyond the fourth vein, the hind margin of the wing never thickened, basal bristle of costa usually

present, marginal hairs weak, no setule; auxiliary vein rather weak, straight, parallel with and close to

the first vein, evanescent before its end, first vein ending between three-fifths and three-fourth the

wing-length, pedicel of the second and third vein arising over the basal half of the second basal cell,

except in S/enofroctus, third vein always simple, discal cell large, located near the middle of the wing,

complete or rarely opening into the third posterior cell, intercalary vein present except in S/enoProctus

and Scelolabes, sometimes the fourth vein is lacking beyond the discal cell (Leftopesa, etc.) in which case

the intercalary vein functions as the fourth vein; basal cells subequal in length, of moderate size, never

very short or very long, the second basal sometimes broader than the first; anal cell shorter than the

basals, truncate apically, the anal crossvein reflexed, nearly straight and abruptly meeting the anal vein,

the latter always faint but often attaining the wing-margin.

This group is an offshoot of the Hybotinaz. [tis quite probable that some ancestral form in

the Ocydromiinz was responsible for the Tachydromiinz, and that of the modern genera Trichina,

or better still, A/authalia £allida, is structurally nearest to that form.

Characters. — Small, rather slender, shining black species with yellow legs, the abdomen

sometimes pruinose. Head globular, as broad as the thorax, eyes bare, of the male broadly contiguous

on the front, the upper facets enlarged or not, eyes of the female widely separated ; face short, excised

by the oral opening but the excision not reaching to the antennz, cheeks obliterated or narrow; ocellar

triangle of the male prominent, vertical and ocellar bristles not pronounced ; antenna inserted low down

on the head, lengthened, plainly three-jointed, the last joint large, compressed, conical, with a short

terminal style; proboscis as long as or longer than the head, rigid, projecting obliquely downward, palpi

elongate and setose. Thorax not gibbous, bristles not pronounced, no posthumeral, one strong noto-

pleural, one dorsocentral, several scutellars; pleurz shining. Abdomen of male cylindrical, furnished

with long hairs, pygidium moderate, comprising a tumid basal part and thick lateral valves clasping

the stout penis; of the female the abdomen is tapering. the last segments elongated to form a slender

ovipositor. Legs simple, slender, bristleless, hind femora ciliate above. Wings large, sometimes

clouded, costa vanishing beyond the fourth vein, its basal bristle present, auxiliary vein weak and

evanescent, extending close to the first, the first vein ending at three-fifths the wing-length, discal cell

large, located at the middle of the wing, emitting three posterior veins, sometimes open, in which case

the fourth vein is furcate, basal cells elongate, the second basal broad and shorter than the first since its

crossvein is nearly perpendicular, anal crossvein reflexed, abruptly meeting the nearly complete anal

vein.

Type species : E. myrlilli (PI. 8, Fig. 82), Macquart' s only species. As noted under 4ntAalía,

Coquillett would make Gyllenhalli the type of that genus, thus drawing AnAalia into the synonymy.

Seven specimens, all males, from Valleyford, Wash.,. 19 June 1919.

(1) Euthyneura spinipes, nov. sp. — Male. Length 2.2 mm. Body polished black, its sparse hairs and

bristles yellow, legs including the coxe pale yellow, the distal third of the hind femora, tibiz and tarsi blackened,

the hind femora apically black-setose. Upper facets large ; antennz black and pubescent, the third joint broadly oval,

one-third longer than wide, the underside apically concave, the style one-third as long as the third joint ; proboscis

projecting obliquely forward about as far as the length of the head, palpi shining and furnished with a few long

black hairs ; occiput very lightly dusted, its sparse hairs black. Scutellum with four bristles. Hairs of the abdomen

sparse and pale, pygidium minute. Hairs of the legs pale. extensor cilia of the hind femora equal to the diameter

of the femur, about five black thorn-like sete; before the knee on the anterior side ànd three on the posterior side

beneath. MHalteres blackish. Wings slender, veins narrow and dark, a diffused stigma around the end of the first

vein, discal cell as long às the wide second basal, emitting three complete posterior veins, its basal crossvein nearly

perpendicular, sections of the fourth vein proportioned 1i : 0.2 : 0.9 : 1.2, of the fifth vein, 1 : 0,5 ; 0.9 : 0,8, anal

last segment forming a lenythened ovipositor ; halteres pale yellow.

Numerous specimens, Moscow Mountain and Lookout Mountain, Idaho, June, July; Mount Spokane, Washington ;

one specimen, Kaslo, British Columbia (U. S. N. M.). The species is distinct from bwcinator, with which it cohabits,

by the color and spines of the hind legs. "The latter species is closely related to myrtilli, but has a shorter third antennal

joint, Western specimens of bwcinator have the hairs and bristles of the thorax invariably yellow, in Eastern speci-

mens the bristles are almost always black.

FAM. EMPIDID/E : 55

discal setulee almost wanting ; pleurze usually largely shining. Abdomen cylindrical, loosely hairy, pygid-

ium of moderate size, often spinulose at the apex, no drawn-out ovipositor. Legs rather slender,

simple, thehind tibiae sometimes clavate, no true bristles, the hind femora ciliate with erecthairs. "Wings

large, anal angle prominently projecting, rectangular, costa evanescent beyond the fourth vein, with a

basal bristle and rather weak marginal hairs, auxiliary vein extending close to the first which ends at

three-fifths the wing-length, discal cell large, placed in the middle of the wing, emitting three posterior

veins, basal cells large, subequal, anal crossvein reflexed, abruptly meeting the nearly complete but faint

anal vein.

Tyne species : T. clavifes, Meigen (Pl. I, Fig. 8).

'TThe name Tvichina was used by Owen for the well-known genus of roundworms and as the

Dipterous genus was neglected and of no economic importance the homonym has unfortunately come

into general usage. This has resulted in a score of names connected with the roundworm disease, such

as Trichinosis, Trichinotic, Trichiniferous, Trichinoscope, etc. Loew, in 1864, suggested that Dip-

terists concede Meigen's right of priority and change the Empid name, but Railliet in 1895 adopted

an easier solution of the difficulty by proposing the term Tichinella for the conflicting Nematode.

Characters. — Small, robust species, with large wings and large discal cell. Eyes bare,

contiguous in the male the whole length of the front except for a small triangular space just above the

antenne, the facets of the upper two-thirds large; face very short and broadly excised usually up to the

antenna, cheeks narrow ; basal joint of the antennes» rudimentary, usually not visible, the middle joint

very short, the third joint orbicular, compressed, very wide and short, with a terminal short, two-jointed

arista which varies in length from as long as the third joint to about one-eighth as long; proboscis

lengthened and often horizontally porrect, rarely surpassing the length of the head, rigid, palpi short

and slightly swollen; ocellar triangle prominent, located in the male on the vertex, one pair of ocellar

and one or two of vertical bristles. "Thorax rather or quite prominent, moderately pollinose, more

thickly so on the pleure, several humeral, posthumeral and notopleural bristles present, only the

posterior two dorsocentrals distinct, acrostichals numerous but short, scutellum margined with from

four to ten bristles. Abdomen furnished with loose hairs, longer in the male, pygidium small or

minute, a short ovipositor formed from the shining last four segments, lateral pits visible. Legs short,

simple, front tibize usually slightly swollen, hind femora more or less ciliate above and below. Costa

stopping at the fourth vein, with a strong basal bristle but with short marginal hairs, auxiliary vein weak

and lying close to the first, the latter ending just beyond the middle of the wing, discal cell longer than

the basals, emitting three posterior veins, the intercalary sometimes abbreviated and sometimes joined

to the fourth vein when the discal cell is open outwardly, anal crossvein abruptly. meeting the anal vein

which usually attains the margin although quite faint.

Nomenclature and type species : 4. Schoenherri, Zetterstedt. Zetterstedt had three species

when he proposed the genus Auihalia, — Gyllenhalli, Schoenherri and. $allida. Coquillet (1903) consi-

dered the first of these as the type of Az£Zalia and thus threw the genus into the synonymy with

Euthyneura, since Gyllenhalli is a very close relative of myrtilli, the monotypical species of Euthyneura.

This would necessitate bestowing a new generic name on SchoenAherri and the series of subsequently

discovered species related to it. Since Coquillett did not adopt the wisest course we have an instance

(1) Trichina pullata, nov. sp. — Male. Length 2.25 mm. Black over all. Occiput lightly pollinose, its

hairs fine, abundant, black ; third antennal joint broadly lanceolate, subequal to the style. "Thorax sparsely pollinose,

hairs and bristles blackish, the lateral ones pale, twelve in dorsocentral row, ten pale scutellars, pleurz pollinose.

Abdomen subshining, hairs long and pale, genitalia large, open, extending backward, the lateral valves posteriorly

with a pronounced pecten beyond which they continue as a finger-like process. Legs simple, the hind tibiz slightly

clavate, knees narrowly brown, hairs abundant, pale. Halteres black. Wings normal, somewhat smoky, stigma faint,

not filling end of marginal cell.

Type, Paradise Park, Mt. Rainier, August, 1917. A male from Gold Creek, Montana, July 29, 1918 and a

female from Gardiner, Montana, August 17, 1918, differ in having the mesonotum shining.

where it is just as well not to read the codes too literally, but to utilize Zetterstedt's second species as

the genotype and thus preserve a well-known and time-honored name for this series of species. An

iron-clad rule that permits any reviewer to fix for perpetuity the types of genera without first-hand

knowledge of the species concerned should meet with protest. It were better to modify the rule so

as to exclude from consideration species belonging to recognized genera. Zetterstedt's third species,

fallida, is dichoptic and therefore is not congeneric with either of the others, a fact noted by Zetterstedt.

The next following genus, Allauthalia, is erected for its reception.

The genera Aníhalia, Euthyneura, Trichina, Microphorus and Anmthepiscopus have been much

confused due to a general resemblance between them. The first three have the anal cell of similar

construction, with the anal crossvein bent sharply back and meeting the anal vein in a distinct but

obtuse angle, the characteristic neuration of the Ocydromiine. n this subfamily they form a natural

group distinct in having three posterior veins, a short, two-jointed antennal style with the first joint

thick and the second joint microscopic, and are evidently related to GEdalea, — Those species with short

antenne belong to Amthalia, those with lengthened antennz and short proboscis to Trichina and those

with lengthened antennz and projecting proboscis to Eufhyneura. As longas it was considered that the

genera were defined by single characters there was justification in regarding them synonymous, and

as these characters are all quite variable the genera have been merged by various writers. However,

as indicated in the key to the genera, the species of each of these groups have a distinctive facies,

and undoubtedly the groups as outlined present phyletic lines of descent which may be considered to

have generic rank. The commonest American species differ from the typical forms in having a highly

arched thorax, a more or less protruding proboscis and a lengthened antennal style, and bear a super-

ficial resemblance to An/hefiscopus, with species of which genus they associate at the same flowers.

Type species : 4. Pallida, Zetterstedt. Zetterstedt questioned the propriety of including his

species in AntAalia.

Geographical distribution. ;

The species occurs in North America as well as in Europe, specimens having been studied from

Fall's Church, Va. (Banks); Plummer's Island, Md., from blossoms of wild plum (Shannon); Aylmer

and Hull, Quebec (Curran), and Atherton, Mo (Adams). The following is the only known species.

Characters. — Moderately stout, rather small species with robust hind femora and greatly

elongated antennae. Head globose, eyes bare, of the female well separated, of the male contiguous on

the front, with the antennz inserted below the middle of the head, upper facets scarcely larger than the

lowermost; basal joints of the antennze small but distinct, the third joint greatly lengthened, more or

less cylindrical and from four to eight times as long as broad, tipped with a short two-jointed style, the

apical joint of which is minute and bristle-like, the style variable in length, sometimes almost wanting ;

proboscis short or protruding obliquely forward nearly as far as the head-height, palpi minute; ocellar

triangle not elevated, ocellar and vertical bristles poorly developed. Thorax quadrate, finely pubescent,

only the prescutellar, dorsocentral, two or three notopleural, one postalar, and about six scutellar bristles

present. Abdomen conical, the female with chitinized ensiform ovipositor, the male with a very small

FAM. EMPIDID/E 63

symmetrical pygidium bearing an erect dorsal basal part. Anterior legs normal, bristleless, hind femora

elongate, rather clavate, beneath toward the apex with four rows of thornlike spines, those of the lateral

rows longer, hind tibiz geniculate, compressed to an edge opposite the femoral spines, tarsi not swollen.

Wings broad, anal angle broadly rectangular, auxiliary vein rather weak and close to the long first vein,

costa interrupted at the fourth vein, its basal bristle very weak, basal cells as long as the large discal cell,

third vein simple, posterior veins shortened by the enlargement of the discal cell, anal crossvein truncat-

ing the anal cell, the anal vein weak but usually attaining the margin.

Tyne species : CE. Lybotina, Fallen, by Westwood' s designation. Lundbeck records f/avifes as

having been bred from decaying wood. The species of GZdalea have yellow legs, the hind pair more or

less darkened. The body is usually shining black with yellow pubescence and bristles. They are

sluggish in flight and occur in shady woodlands, but are not commonly met with.

Characters. — Slender elongate black or yellow species, variable in color, but fixed in structure.

Head globose, eyes large, contiguous above and below the antenne in both male and female, the lower

part of the face visible as a linear separation of the eyes, facets uniform or the uppermost large ; antennze

inserted at the middle of the head, extending straight forward, two-jointed, that is, the basal joints are

66 DIPTERA

entirely connate, the last joint elongate conical, with à very slender elongate bare single-jointed terminal

arista; mouthparts very short, haustellate, the palpi scarcely projecting and hairy ; ocellar triangle small,

ocellar bristles reaching halfway to the antennze, two pairs of vertical bristles of similar length. "Thorax

less than half as long as the abdomen and broader than the head, with very fine seriate pubescence,

lateral bristles long but hair-like, an ascending row of three notopleurals, one supraalar, one postalar,

one prescutellar and several scutellars present. Abdomen cylindrical, pygidium small, distorted, asym-

metrical, the valves with slender ribbon-like processes; terminal segments of the female usually prolonged

to an ensiform chitinized ovipositor. Legs slender, hairy, cox short, the front coxe slightly the longest,

femora without bristles, middle tibiae with several sets of long bristles. Wings elongate, anal angle

prominent, rounded rectangular, basal bristle of the costa present, costa stopping beyond the third vein,

pubescence of the wing-membrane coarse, auxiliary vein rudimentary, lying closeto the first vein, which

terminates at the outer fourth of the wing, third vein simple, its pedicel long, discal cell emitting two

unforked veins which are the fifth and sixth longitudinals, only a spur of the fourth vein sometimes

distinguishable beyond the discal cell, basal cells large, the first basal narrower than the second, anal

cell shorter than the second basal, obliquely truncate by its reflexed straight crossvein.

Type species : L. /lavipes, Meigen (Pl. 8, Fig. 19), the only species given in the original

description, and which is synonymous with ruficollis Meigen. The habits of the species of this genus are

unknown, except that the adults occur in open and rather shady spots in woods near streams or lakes.

Most of the species, like ruficollis, borealis, nigripes, disparilis and compta are not clearly limited, and often

specimens can be found on the borderland between species, making identification difficult at times.

This is due to the variable color within the species and the stereotyped habitus of the genus. — SPhenoptera,

however, departs from the others and several times it has been suggested that this species be removed

from Lefíofesa. lt is peculiar in several characters, and in many ways is more closely related to the

South American Hoflofesa than to Leffopesa. This species has here been removed under the generic

name Leftometofiella

auxiliary vein very close to the first vein into which it ends, third vein simple, its pedicel arising before

the middle of the basal cells, basal cells long, coextensive, nearly as long as the discal cell and lon-

ger than the anal cell, the discal cell emitting two veins which are the intercalary and the fifth longitudi-

nal,at most a stump of the fourth vein projecting from the discal cell, anal crossvein reflexed and straight,

Characters. — Rather small, greatly humpbacked, more or less opaque black species with no

discal cell. Head globular, attached low to the thorax ; eyes broadly contiguous above the antennz in

both sexes, bare, the upper facets large and separated from the lower by a horizontal line of demarca-

tion; face long and narrow, no cheeks; occiput hairy but not bristly ; antennze located at the middle of

the head, two-jointed, due to the fusion of the basal joints, the third joint elongate, somewhat com-

pressed, usually somewhat bulbous below near the base, ending in a two-jointed thickened arista which

is more or less shorter than the third joint and consists of a short basal and a lengthened apical

segment; proboscis much shorter than the head, vertical, the labrum slightly incurved and pointed,

palpi short, broad and decumbent. Thorax very large, provided with a greater or less number of fine

bristles, posthumeral and lateral hairs usually quite evident, scutellum with about four bristles, acros-

tichals loosely biseriate; pleure bare. Abdomen slender, tapering, pygidium terminal, small and

closed, the lateral valves oval and directed backward, ventral piece cleft, ending in a symmetrical two-

tined fork. Legs rather long, hairy, often with long fine bristles, often the hind femora ciliate, the hind

legs longest, usually with clavate tibize, hind metatarsi sometimes thickened. Anal angle of the wings

rectangular, a distinct angulation at the axilla, costa stopping at the.end of the third vein, basal bristles

present or absent, auxiliary vein lying close to the first vein, third vein simple, anterior crossvein placed

close to the fork of the second and third veins, no discal cell, the fourth vein interrupted at the anterior

crossvein resuming again toward the tip of the wing as a weakened spur, the intercalary vein likewise

weak and evanescent basally, second basal cell longer than the first, its crossvein very oblique, almost

in line with the last section of the fifth vein, anal cell wider than the first basal, its crossvein reflexed

and broadly angulate with the continuous anual vein.

14. GENUS HOPLOCYRTOMA, NOV. GEN.

Characters. — Similar to Bicellaria in general structure and in neuration but differing in the

possession of stout and spinose hind femora and correspondingly strong hind tibie. The hind femora

are swollen and abundantly armed beneath with a mixture of spines and thorns. The hind tibiz are

much shorter than the femora, not clavate but nearly straight and cylindrical, geniculate at the knee and

carinate along the flexor edge. Apically they are somewhat obliquely truncate and closely fimbriate,

The tines of the ventral piece of the pygidium are thick and bluntly rounded, the one on the right longer

than the one on the left.

Genotype : Bicellaria $rocera, Loew (Pl. 2, Fig. 1l). The two American species, frocera and

femorata, are closely related, differing from the species of Bicellaría in the same leg specialization that has

been repeatedly developed in various groups of the Emfidida.

SusgBFAMILY EMPIDINZE

Characters. — Head globular, occiput little convex, in Xanthempis drawn out to a sort of cone ;

eyes bare except in Parathalassius and Microphorella, males dichoptic or holoptic, in the former case the

facets are uniform or the anterior middle ones slightly enlarged, in the latter case the upper facets are

more or less enlarged, eyes of the females always separated ; face broad, often short and receding and

then with the oral margin arched, in specialized forms of Em?is and Rhamphomyia the face becomes

narrow : front quadrate, often with small orbitals ; antennze three-jointed, the first joint usually as long

as or longer than the globular second joint, in Hormofesa the basal joints fused, in Ragas the basal joints

small, third joint conical and cylindrical, or (Gloma) reniform, or (Hormofesa) orbicular, or (Afalocnemis,

Opeatocerata) oval, tipped with a style of two to four joints, usually the style with a quadrate basal piece

ending in a short bristle, sometimes the end piece of the style is longer and tapers, sometimes (Gloma,

etc.) the antenna is furnished with a long thin arista; proboscis usually fitted for piercing, corneous,

variable in length and direction, sometimes shorter than the head, sometimes in the flower-sucking

species nearly as long as the body, palpi single-jointed. Thorax never greatly convex, usually the

humeral, posthumeral and supra-alar and almost always the notopleural and scutellar bristles present.

the acrostichals and dorsocentrals variable, the former almost never pronounced, the latter usually weak;

FAM. EMPIDID/E 79

metapleural sete absent or present. Pygidium terminal or more or less reflexed, when reflexed usually

somewhat compressed ; no ovipositor. Legs of moderate length, coxe never long, sometimes the hind

femora incrassate, middle tibize usually with apical bristles, and posterior tibize often furnished with sets

ofsetee, Wings more or less oblong, the anal angle usually quite distinct though often broadly rounded,

alula never large, costa continuing around the wing or stopping at the fourth vein, auxiliary vein strong

and always distinctly separated from the first, attaining the costa or distally evanescent, third vein forked

or not, discal cell complete and emitting three veins, but in a few species of RhamfAomyia the posterior

crossvein is absent, anal cell shorter than the second basal, the anal crossvein abruptly reflexed (except

in Parathalassius where it is perpendicular), anal vein almost always separate from the anal cell, reaching

the margin or abbreviated but always weak

This subfamily connects to an astonishing degree with the Clinoceratinaz. In the Microphorus

group the enlarged epipygium and small basal cells are quite suggestive of the Clinocerans. Hilarempis

and the allied genera show so many traits of Proclinopyga and Difsomyia, in the type of genitalia, chaeto-

taxy, neuration and structure of wing, that there is certainly a close relationship between them. On

the other hand Proclinopyga connects still more closely with Climocera, as shown by the V-shaped front,

narrowed face, mouthparts, structure of the thorax and abdomen and of the legs.

thick, not or scarcely projecting; ocelli widely separated, not elevated, ocellar bristles distant and diver-

ging, a pair of strong converging fronto-orbitals ; bristles of the upper occiput moderately strong, below

a mystax of coarse white hairs present. "Thorax stout, not highly arched, five or six strong dorsocentrals,

one posthumeral, several supraalar, two or more scutellars, the middle pair distant; pleurze uniformly

and densely pruinose and devoid of hairs. Abdomen thick and short, densely pruinose, its hairs coarse,

only moderately long; epipygium very large, tumid, globose, twisted to the right, its under parts coarse

and complicated ; fifth segment terminating the abdomen of the female, the apical segments retracted.

Legs simple, pruinose, the femora more or less ciliate, middle tibize with an apical bristle. Wings

narrow, with parallel sides, costa continuing around the entire wing, several basal bristles and costal

setulze present, third vein simple, discal cell narrow and long, its basal crossvein abortive, anal crossvein

straight and perpendicular, anal vein angulate at the crossvein and strong halfway to the margin, anal

angle broadly rounded, no alula, the alular hairs moderately long; calypteres with straight margin.

Type species : P. Blasigii, Mik, the original species. Judged by the course of the anal cross-

vein this genus should be located in the Ocydromiinz, but as all the other characters clearly point to

FAM. EMPIDIDJE 87

the Microphorus group it follows that the perpendicular crossvein has been independently developed in

Parathalassius. "The species of the genus frequent the sands of the seashore, which habit accounts for

their white bristles and silvery gray color.

with the anal angle of the wing reduced, the legs and halteres always black. Front broad in both male

and female, with a pair of converging strong fronto-orbital bristles, ocellar triangle not elevated, the

ocelli widely spaced apart, ocellar bristles strong and distant from each other; face long, with parallel

sides, narrower than the front, no cheeks; eyes with microscopic pubescence, the lower facets of the male

very slightly larger than the upper; antenne inserted above the middle of the head, two-jointed as the

basal joints are fused. the basal joint without bristles, the outer joint conical, pyriform or cylindrical,

pubescent, with a rather thick, two-jointed apical arista, which is geniculate beyond the minute basal

joint; mouthparts very short, not protruding, fleshy, palpi small, elongate oval and tipped with a single

hair; occiput hairy the upper part setose and with stronger vertical bristles. "Thorax large, robust,

longer than the abdomen, with a complete series of about six strong dorsocentrals, acrostichals biseriate

and biseriate setulze present between the dorsocentral and supraalar bristles, one strong posthumeral,

one notopleural, two scutellar bristles; pleure bare, but opaque pollinose. Abdomen thick, its hairs

sparse and very short; pygidium enormously enlarged, sometimes as large as the remainder of the abdo-

men, twisted to the right, globular, completely enclosed above, the fourth ventral more or less excised

medially along its hind margin ; no ovipositor, the last segments of the female abdomen short and broad

and margined with bristles. Legs slender, in the male often deformed, especially the tarsi, middle tibize

with a short apical spur, hind femora more or less ciliate below. — Wings rather pointed, broadest at the

middle, the hind angle greatly reduced and not rectangular, costa encompassing the entire wing, its

basal bristle strong, no stigma, auxiliary vein distinct, usually shortened, first vein ending beyond the

middle of the wing, third vein simple, discal cell narrow, its basal crossvein weakened, the posterior

crossvein very oblique, basal cells minute, anal crossvein round, anal vein present or absent, no alula

and almost no alular hairs; fringe of the calypteres weak.

Type species : M. ?rzcox Loew, apparently a very rare form and the only species known to

Becker. The American species are closely related to each other but are easily recognized by the pecu-

liar secondary sexual characters of the males. "They occur in the grass and bushes along streams.

Becker proposed Microphorella as a subgenus of Microphorus. | As shown in the table of genera the genus

is much more closely related to Parathalassius, but is distinct from both, and is well entitled to generic

rank.

Characters. — Small usually opaque black hunchbacked species, the males with a twisted

epipygium and large contiguous eyes. Head rather globular, the occiput flattened, eyes bare. of the

female widely separated, of the male contiguous along the front, the facets of the upper two-thirds larger

than below; antennz inserted rather below the middle of the head, three-jointed, the middle joint

typically with strong setze above and below, the third joint compressed conical or more or less abruptly

attenuated beyond the base, with a lengthened terminal arista which varies from one-half to three times

as long as the third joint; proboscis usually retracted within the oral cavity, sometimes more or less

protruding when the fleshy labium can be seen surrounding the chitinized piercing parts, palpi minute,

cylindrical; bristles of the occiput not strong. Thorax greatly arched, robust, about as long as the

abdomen, more or less bristly, with two or four rows of acrostichals, a row of dorsocentrals, some post-

humerals and supraalars, as well as the usual humeral, notopleural, postalar and scutellar bristles, the

last mentioned varying from four to eight in number; pleurz bare. Abdomen stout, cylindrical, clothed

with long thin hairs in the male, epipygium twisted to the right, distorted, often very large. sometimes

the last ventral segments of the male are spinose; no distinct ovipositor, but the last segments of the

female abdomen compressed or tubular and shining. Legs short, often the femora and tibiz pectinate

with bristles, and in the male, variously furnished with bristles which are lacking in the female. Fringe

of the calypteres prominent. Wings large, anal angle full, costa encompassing the entire wing, stigma

usually distinct, auxiliary vein distinct from the first and terminating in the costa, basal cells minute,

discal cell large, complete. third vein simple, anal crossvein recurved, forming a jog in the under side — —

of the anal cell, anal vein completely wanting. no alula but the alular cilia long.

Type species : M. velutinus, Meigen (Pl. 7, Fig. 68), by Rondani's designation, 1856.

Westwood indicated Trichina clavipes as the type, but Macquart did not have this species when he

erected the genus Microphorus. The genus is restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. The species are

not rare in shady woods where they are supposed to prey on smaller insects. Beling has described the

earlier stages of M. £usillus. The sort of sexual dimorphism exhibited by this genus is curious. Here

and there on the body, such as on the middle trochanters and femora and on the under side of the

abdomen, the males of some species have developed characteristic blunt spinous bristles. Again in other

species the hind tibize and metatarsi of the males are swollen, but are normal in the females.

SuBGENUS SCHISTOSTOMA, BECKER

Characters. — Proboscis very short, not protruding, vertical, fleshy, palpi short, cylindrical,

furnished with five or six setze; second joint of the antenne not setose, only some short setule present,

third joint conical, longer than its arista; front of female with two fronto-orbitals. Only the posterior

two or three dorso-centrals lengthened, one posthumeral, one notopleural, the setulze weak, two scutel-

lars. Pygidium with several long filamentous appendages, ovipositor short and tubular. Alula some-

what distinct, calypteres large, no basal bristle on the costa,

FAM. EMPIDID/E 91

Type species : S. eremita, Becker (Pl. 7, Fig. 62). This genus was proposed by Becker for

a whitish pruinose Egyptian fly occurring on the sands of the seashore. At first sight its whitish color,

light colored legs and pure white bristles were far from suggesting the black species of Microphorus, but

as recently a white haired Microphorus and a black Schistostoma have been found, Becker (1909) concluded

that ScAistostoma is but a subgenus of the older Microfhorus.

Characters. — Blackish species measuring three or four millimeters in length, not closely

related to any of the other genera. Head almost globular, the occiput rather flattened, eyes bare, of

the male broadly contiguous along the front, the ocellar triangle elevated, the upper facets large, of the

female widely separated, the front quadrate and bearing six minute fronto-orbitals, face broadly receding

but wide, especially in the male ; antennz located below the middle of the head, apparently two-jointed

since the basal joints are completely fused into a small globular nearly bare segment, the last joint

compressed and broadly orbicular, ending in a short two-jointed style, whose basal joint is quadrate and

whose outer joint consists of a short stubby bristle; proboscis short and thick, smaller and retracted in

the male, protruding obliquely forward in the female, palpi short, horizontal and gradually thickened;

occiput not bristly above but seriately hairy, one pair of ocellar bristles. "Thorax markedly bristly,

about four humerals, three posthumerals, five notopleurals and several scutellars, the dorsocentrals

numerous, acrostichals biseriate, quite a number of lateral setula beyond the dorsocentral rows; meta-

pleurz bare, pectus with some bristles at the base of the coxze. Abdomen of the female subequal to the

thorax in length, of the male one-half longer, eighth segment of the female broadly conical, almost wedge-

shaped and strong; pygidium robust, globose, the dorsal valves large and erect, the lateral valves rather

hemispherical and with two blunt posterior prongs, penis hidden. Legs strongly bristly, anterior femora

of the female with two flexor rows of bristles, tibia of both sexes with several sets of bristles, tarsal joints

more or less setose. pulvilli large. Wings not colored, rather pointed, anal angle strongly rectangular,

costa stopping at the tip of the wing, auxiliary vein distinct and extending into the costa, a thickened

stigma between the ends of the auxiliary and first veins, third vein with a long fork, discal cell located

before the middle of the wing, the basal and discal cells not large, the sections of the fifth vein nearly r1:

2, anal crossvein reflexed less abruptly than usual, angulate with the anal vein, the latter confluent with

the under side of the anal cell, second basal and anal cells of equal width, a small alula present; calypteres

with a strong fringe.

Type species : H. obliterata, the only species occurring in Europe. On many occasions I have

taken specimens of Hormofeza on the window-panes in houses. | The affinities of this genus are not clear.

In 1908, when stressing the importance of the form of the anal cell, I located Hormofeza in the Ocydro-

miinz, in which group it would be distinct in having the third vein furcate. It seems more likely that

the genus is a specialized but ancient offshoot of the Oreogeton branch of the Empidinz.

However, the illustration of the head drawn by Mrs. Meunier suggests a dichoptic insect. Loew's

species of Gloma with slender antennz, likewise from the Baltic amber, possibly belong here.

Characters. — Rather large black or yellow more or less pollinose species somewhat resembling

L«ptis in appearance. Head small, eyes of the male contiguous on the front but widely separated below, -

facets nearly uniform, bare; antennze inserted below the middle of the head, the face small and quadrate,

receding below as the pollinose broad epistome; basal joints of the antenne short and setose, third joint

conical, terminated by a thick arista longer than the third joint and tipped with a short hair; proboscis

very short and fleshy, directed forward, palpi long, clavate, hairy, porrect; occipital hairs abundant, not

differentiated into bristles above; ocellar triangle of the male alittle elevated. Thorax bristly, dorso-

centrals numerous, several humerals, posthumerals, notopleurals, supra-alars and scutellars, the acros-

tichals biseriate; pleurze pollinose, metapleurz setose. Abdomen hairy and bristly, twice as long as the

thorax, rather slender and cylindrical, pygidium not large, bilateral, lateral valves oblong, pointed at the

upper apex and bearing a dorsal tooth, dorsal valves small and cerciform; abdomen of the female

somewhat depressed, tapering at the apex. Legs slender, setose, in the male the middle pair sometimes

ornate with bunches of bristles, the tibiz* bearing sets of apical as well as intermediate bristles, pulvilli

large. Wings large, veins strong, the first, second and sometimes the third veins bearing setule on the

upper surface and the second setulose on the lower side, the setule of the first vein dense, costa conti-

nuing around the entire wing but weakened on the hind margin, auxiliary vein distinct, ending in the

costa, third vein forked, the upper branch short and oblique, basal cells shorter than the apically blunt

discal cell, anal crossvein abruptly reflexed, continuous with the underside of the anal cell, anal vein -

obsolete, anal angle of the wing strongly rectangular, alula distinct; calypteres large, margined and

densely fringed.

Type species : O. £asalis, Loew (PI. b, Fig. BO). There is a tendency in the genus for the base

of the abdomen to be pellucid and for the females to be yellowish in color. In neuration and body-color

FAM. EMPIDIDJE 99

the species are quite constant. The following table shows the variations in arrangement of the special

bristles of the males. Females are more difficult to determine specifically than the males. The male

of rufus is not known and the species is therefore omitted from the table. Both sexes of obscurus are

dark, and the species is thus distinct from rufus.

Type species : G. fuscibennis, Meigen (Pl. 6, Fig. 52; PI. 8, Fig. 74). The genus is dis-

tinct in the Empidida in having a truly dorsal arista. Most of the species described as Gloma do not

belong to this genus. Individuals of Gloma are rarely found. They live in ep fione and occur

in Europe and North America.

(1) Gloma luctuosa, nov. sp. (PI. 8, Fig. T3). — Male. Length 3-, mm. Closely related to G. fuscipennis,

Meigen, but entirely black and with different proportions to the parts of the pygidium, The basal dorsal process is rela-

tively robust, more setose and its distal fork shorter than in the European species, "The main end-valve is broad, stout and

roughly triangular, the posterior valve is heavily setose and with crenulate posterior margin. In fuscipennis the main valve

is narrow, inverted bootshaped and the posterior valve has only two apical and about two basal setze, A pair of anteriorly

directed delicate sinuous processes with deflected tip arise from the middle of the pygidium between the dorsal and main

valves, and these are straight in fuscipennis.

Four males and four females, taken by the author in the heavy forest on the Fairfax Trail just Northwest of Indian

Henry's Hunting Ground on Mount Rainier, Washington, August 9, 1922.

Another mountain species of Gloma has been collected on Mount Constitution and along Hoods Canal, Washington,

on Mount Hood, Oregon, and on Lookout Mountain near Priest Lake, Idaho, As all the specimens are female the species

is not described here. This form has the legs, halteres, abdomen and base of wings largely yellowish, as in n— but

it is only two-thirds as large as that species. — '

Tyne species : Brochella monticola, nov. sp. The genus has been placed with the Empidinz

even though it has no near relatives in that subfamily. The habits and habitus of the species are sug-

gestive of the Clinocera group, but there also it would be isolated. The low-placed antennze, lack of style,

long proboscis, reflexed anal vein, and distinct fold under the humeral crossvein at the origin of the

second basal cell do not indicate close kinship to the Clinoceratinz.

Eyes separated, broadly so on the front, and in the male narrowly just beneath the antenne, the sides

of the face diverging below, facets bare, of uniformsize in the female or the anterior slightly larger in the

male; face of the female short and quadrate, the lower part retracted as the pollinose epistome; antennz

inserted above the middle of the head, distinctly three-jointed, the first joint longer than the second, the

Characters. — Medium-sized species, usually black or blackish in color although sometimes

yellowish, distinguished by the anterior bend at the end of the auxiliary vein and by the almost univer-

sally enlarged front metatarsi of the male. 4A genus rich in species and hence presenting a wide range

in the variability of characters, particularly of the chzetotaxy and the secondary sexual devices. Head

globular, eyes separated in both sexes, except in a few species where the males are holoptic and have

the upper facets enlarged, otherwise the facets are uniform ; front and face each quadrate, fronto-orbital

bristles usually prominent, cheeks linear; antenne inserted at the middle of the head, distinctly three-

jointed, as long as the head, the basal joints short and with few setule, the first joint cylindrical, the

second globular, the third compressed, conical, ending in a lengthened three-jointed style, whose basal

segment is minute and quadrate and whose apical part is a short bristle; proboscis as long as the head

or somewhat shorter, vertical, the labrum sharp, chitinized, a little incurved, the labium shorter and

with prominent labellar lobes, palpi porrect, up-curved and hairy ; occiput more or less hairy, ocelli not

elevated, distant, the ocellar bristles separated, thorax rather robust, wider than the head, the meta-

thorax short and declivous, bristles usually reduced, the rows of discal bristles usually replaced by hairs,

pronotum often with a lateral bristle, notopleural bristles evident but variable; pleurz pollinose, meta-

pleurze not setose. Abdomen more or less cylindrical, the seventh and eighth segments of the male

usually small to accomodate the reflexed epipygium; abdomen of the female tapering, ending in two

thin styles; epipygium usually compressed, the ventral keel ending in a curved tapering process, the

lateral valves extending forward, variously fissate and spiny at the anterior end, dorsal valves and penis

hidden. Legs not lengthened, rather hairy, usually with variable bristles on the tibiz, femora rarely

thick, front metatarsi of the male almost always greatly swollen and often cristate with long hairs,

pulvilli of moderate size, empodium distinct. Analangle rather prominent but rounded, costa continu-

ing around the entire margin, stigma formed, auxiliary vein complete and distinct, curving forward

at the end to enter the costa, third vein with a long fork, basal cells coextensive, discal cell as long as

Characters. — Opaque blackish species. Head globose, eyes of both male and female widely

separated, face quadrate, hairy or bare, lower occiput hairy, upper occiput more bristly ; antennz shorter

than the head, located near the middle, distinctly three-jointed, the basal joints not setose, the third

joint conical with a short terminal style which is tipped by a small bristle; proboscis not longer than

upward, setose beneath. — Discal bristles of the thorax small, one humeral, three prominent notopleurals,

the acrostichals minute, arranged in two approximate or several rows, dorsocentrals small, scutellum

margined with a variable number of bristles ranging from six to fourteen; pleurz bare. Abdomen with

Amictoides, Bezzi, Nova Acta Akad. Naturf. Halle, Vol. 9r, p. 3o2, 380 (1910).

Characters. — Short robust reddish species, measuring about five millimeters in length,

resembling the bombyliid genus Amicíus in appearance. Eyes of the male contiguous half-way

between the antennz and the ocelli, ocellar triangle large; basal joints of the antennz nearly bare, the

third joint long and conical, about three times as long as broad, the apical style half the length of the

third joint, distinctly two-segmented and with short end-bristle, the basal segment about one-fourth as

long as the apical; proboscis vertical, as long as the head, palpi curved and with a few fine hairs.

Thoracic bristles black, no strong humeral, acrostichals short and arranged in several rows, anterior

dorsocentrals short, hair-like and scattered, the middle ones longer and seriate, the posterior three long

and bristle-like, notopleural bristles strong, two long and two short scutellars; pleurze bare. Abdomen

short, pygidium small, erect and closed, middle valve large, central piece compressed below. Legs

simple, hairs short and fine, tibiz with rather distinct extensor bristles, front metatarsi of the male

somewhat thickened. Costa greatly thinned beyond the third vein, basal bristle present, auxiliary vein

stopping before the costa, no stigma, fork of third vein moderately short, discal cell not large, as long

as first basal cell, anal vein obsolete, anal angle well developed, axillary incision distinct, no alula.

Type species: D. bicolor, Philippi. This genus was located near TAereva by Philippi. Bezzi

erected the genus Amictoides on Hilara (?) breviventris Philippi, stating in a footnote that it differed only

in the structure of the antennal style. Dr. Bezzi has loaned his single specimen of breviventris, which

has furnished the basis for the preceding description and the accompanying illustration. This specimen

has the style exactly as described by Philippi for Deuteragonista, and agrees in all points with the rest of

Philippi's description of the genus. Philippi separated widely the species /icolor and breviventris in his

paper on Chilean diptera, and it may be that the two forms are entirely distinct. In the menn.

as we have no specimens of bicolor for comparison, we have no basis for segregating the two.

into a narrow point, from which springs a long aristiform style which is about twice as long as the three

antennal joints together. "Thorax considerably arched, devoid of pubescence, two rows of fairly long

dorsocentrals, lateral bristles long, four scutellars. Abdomen with a few short lateral bristles on. hind

margins; genitalia of male narrow but lengthened. Legs long, particularly the hind pair, and very

slender, all joints simple and practically bare. Wings of medium size, auxiliary vein straight and

apparently becoming coalescent with the first vein ; third vein with perpendicular fork which closes the

first submarginal cell before the apex of the marginal cell, discal cell somewhat triangular, with three

complete posterior veins, stigma weak.

Genotype : T. gracilijes, White, the only known species. This is a brownish insect 5.5 mm. in

length that has been taken a number of times in Tasmania. White described the third vein as simple,

designating the anterior fork as a crossvein. The conformation suggests Blepharoprocta or Emfis clausa,

where the submarginal cell is closed by what is unquestionably the anterior fork of the third vein.

22. GENUS ATRICHOPLEURA, BEZZI

Atrichopleura, Bezzi, Nova Acta Akad. Naturf. Halle, Vol. 9r, p. 302, 357 (1910).

Characters. — Slender or robust blackish species, two to four millimeters in length. Head

globular, the antennz inserted near the middle of the head, eyes of both sexes widely separated, bare,

the facets not enlarged, marginal incision at the antennz deep, ocellar triangle not elevated, ocellar

bristles long and divergent, several diverging fronto-orbitals, face quadrate, sometimes bearing hairs ;

antennze rather shorter than the head, basal joints subequal, more or less globular, not setose, the third

joint narrowly conical, with a thickened terminal style shorter than the third joint and not geniculate at

the short basal section; proboscis about as long as the head, projecting obliquely forward, labrum

shorter than the labium, the labellar flaps broad, palpi long, cylindrical, up-turned, with a few long

hairs. Thorax small, bristles weak or strong, one humeral and one posthumeral, the anterior

dorsocentrals weak and numerous, several scutellars, the acrostichals weak and biseriate ; pleure

entirely bare, Abdomen typically slender, twice as long as the thorax, with weak hairs; pygidium

typically rather small, closed, no projecting valves, penis filiform; abdomen of the female tapering.

Legs simple, of the female without bristles, of the male the anterior tibize sometimes densely pubescent.

Wings long and narrow or short and broad, the costa encompassing the entire margin, auxiliary veiri

straight, distinct, not meeting the costa, third vein simple, anal vein obsolescent, no alula, typically the

anal angle broadly rounded and the anal crossvein abruptly and greatly reflexed, parallel with the axis

of the wing.

Type species : A. Scineusei (Pl. 6, Fig. 60), by Bezzi's designation. The genus Arichopleura

is a composite which ultimately will probably be subdivided. The species mitida has the habitus of

Hilara, crassa resembles Schistostoma, while Schmeusei and hirtipes are slender insects with long narrow

wings and more or less hairy face. The genus appears to be restricted to South America.

23. GENUS OPEATOCERATA, NOV. GEN.

Characters. — Small, polished yellow species suggestive of Lepfopeza, measuring about three

millimeters in length. Antenne inserted below the middle of the head, joints small, slightly pubescent,

the third joint short-ovate, tipped with a lengthened two-pieced arista three times the length of the

third joint, of which the basal part is two-thirds the length of the third antennal joint and appears like

a prong-like extension of that joint; proboscis inflexed, slender, slightly longer than the head-height.

Thorax strongly convex, bristles very delicate and yellow, no pubescence, dorsocentrals uniseriate, no

acrostichals, humeral, posthumeral, notopleural or presutural sete, two supra-alars, two parallel

scutellars; propleurz bare, a row of long delicate metapleural hairs, prothoracic spiracle concolorous,

FAM. EMPIDID/E 135

metathoracic spiracle brown. Abdomen (Q) with nine segments, the eighth lengthened and compressed,

styles long and narrow, abdominal hairs very sparse. Legs long, slender, hairy, hind tibiz& and

metatarsi with long delicate extensor setze. Wings more or less cuneiform in outline, costa stopping

at apex, first vein ending near basal two-fifths of wing, auxiliary vein straight, evanescent apically,

stigma strong, third vein ending at wing-tip, its anterior branch erect, submarginal cells wide, basal

cells much shorter than the discal, fourth and intercalary veins evanescent apically, anal crossvein

abruptly reflexed, in line with the outward continuation of the cubitus, only the base of the anal vein

indicated, axillary incision weak, shallow; calypteres with a few long hairs.

Genotype : Emfis rubida, Wheeler & Melander. This species was originally described from

Mexico. Bezzi has recorded it from Bolivia. Pablo Schild has taken it in Costa Rica. The

peculiar antenne can well remove this form from the complex genus Emfis. "The genus isa likely

ancestor to Lamfprempfis.

terminal pecten. Wings with strong anal angle, no costal bristle, costa abruptly interrupted beyond

third vein, a crease in the membrane beneath the humeral crossvein, auxiliary vein almost contiguous

with first vein, evanescent at middle of costal cell, anal crossvein recurved, forming an angle of

140 degrees with anal vein which passes into a fold beyond anal cell, marginal cilia of two lengths, some

shorter and some longer than the anterior crossvein which is located well toward the base of the complete

discal cell, three complete veins issuing from the discal cell of which the anterior two are weak;

calypteres with long cilia. 3

Tyne species : P. jalliata, Coquillett. This was originally described as belonging to Sciodromia.

Later Coquillett referred the species to Microphorus. The genus is much more closely related to

Rhamfphomyia than to either of these, but differs in the high-placed antenne with lengthened first joint

and arista. Other tropical species of Rham?Aomyia resemble falliata in possessing metallic coloration.

The description and the figure of the genus were obtained from the type specimen in the U. S. National

Museum.

Vol. 3, p. 85 (1910).

Characters. — A dominant and variable genus whose species range from three to ten milli-

meters in length. More or less slender, sometimes abundantly hairy, sometimes nearly bare, usually

black though often cinereous or yellow, pollinose or shining. Head narrower than the thorax, globular,

or in Xanihempis pear-shaped, due to a conical development of the occiput; eyes contiguous on the front,

or subcontiguous or fully separated, when contiguous the upper facets usually larger than those below,

when separated the facets uniform, eyes of female always separated and with uniform facets; face usually

broad, the lower edge somewhat ridged at the epistome, in .Lissempis the face is narrow; antennz

generally longer than the head, ihserted at or a little above the middle, distinctly three-jointed, the first

joint usually longer than the second and both more or less cylindrical, the third joint lengthened,

compressed conical, with a terminal two-jointed style whose apical part is longer than the basal segment

and tapers; proboscis at least as long as the head, usually much longer, strong, vertical or slightly

infléxed, in Acallomyia slender and obliquely projecting, labium of variable length, palpi cylindrical. one-

jointed, short, extending rather upward; occipital hairs biseriate or abundant. Thorax rather large, not

greatly convex, generally vittate to mark the acrostichal and dorsocentral spaces, prothorax of

Xanthempis lobosely broadened, chaetotaxy very variable, sometimes the thorax is abundantly furnished

with fine hairs, sometimes the dorsocentrals and acrostichals form definite single rows, sometimes the

acrostichals are entirely absent, humeral, posthumeral, notopleural and supraalar bristles variable but

usually present; metapleuree always with some hairs or bristles, pectus with or without hairs. Abdomen

rather slender and long, tapering in the female but in the male generally with quite prominent pygidium,

which comprises two pairs of lateral valves a ventral piece and a long and slender or short and thick

penis; in some species the last ventral segment of the male is pronged. Legs of the female often ornate

with scales, sometimes the males have apophyses about the hind knees or on the hind trochanters,

otherwise the legs are more or less hairy and bristly. "Wings generally narrow but in some females

(e. g. E. borealis) unusually broad, costa stopping at the end of the wing, basal bristle present or absent,

auxiliary vein straight and incomplete, not reaching the costa, third vein forked, discal cell usually

rather small, emitting three veins, of which the first may be shortened (CoftofAlebia), anal cell short and

narrow, the anal crossvein abruptly reflexed, the anal vein separate from the anal cell, anal angle of the

wing usually more or less rectangular, sometimes obtuse, sometimes strong, auxillary incision distinct,

alula small or absent, fringe of the calypteres variable.

Type species : E. jennipes, Linneus (Pl. 5, Fig. 48, 49), so designated by Latreille, 1810.

Curtis, Westwood and Rondani selected E. /essellata, Fabricius, 1794, as the type, and this course

unfortunately has been usually followed by European dipterists. Bezzi has erected the subgenus

140 DIPTERA

Plerempis for the species about fennipes, but for this restricted group the name Emfis should be restored.

Bezzi's subgenus Emfis should be called Piatyftera, Meigen, since the species borealis, the type of

Platyftera, occurs there.

Emfis is the dominant genus of the family, particularly in the Old World with nearly five

hundred species described it has become very complex. Loew and Kuntze, in a series of papers, have

subdivided the genus into groups of species centering about a few typical forms. Bezzi, 1909, effected

a different separation based mainly on chztotaxy, and designated his groups as subgenera. These

subgenera are differentiated in the previous table of genera. Their limits are far from definite but in

the main they appear to be natural groupings. Holopticism appears to have developed in several lines

of Empis and does not seem to be as ancient a character as Bezzi's definitions would indicate. That is

to say, the presence of holopticism in Emfis does not of itself bespeak relationship. ;

The mating habits of several species of EmPis have been studied, particularly by Aldrich and by

Hamm. Quite often the males have the habit of presenting a small insect to the female who sucks its

juices during copulation. In the American species aerobatíca the male elaborates a large frothy balloon

around his prey and flies with this to induce the female to mate. Species of the subgenus Xanthempis

do not mate in the air. The species of Emfis, s. sir. swarm in shady woods. It is particularly in this

group that the legs of the females are pennate with scale-like hairs.

The earliest stages of several species of Em?is are known. Beling has described the larvae of esíiva,

decora, nodosa, tessellata, and irigramma and Kieffer of meridionalis. The larvze live in rich moist earth, in

which they pupate following hibernation. They are cylindrical, tapering anteriorly and consist of twelve

segments, Ventrally they show transverse swellings. The pupa possess bands of abdominal spines.

Emfis minuta, Fabr. Described in 1787, belongs to PAera, as discussed by Lundbeck, Dipt.

Pygidium large or rather small. Legs setose, metatarsi not swollen, female legs rarely pennate.

Wings of female of E. borealis remarkably broad, but in the other species normal, neuration usually

complete, discal cell more or less pointed, anal lobe full, axillary incision deep and sharp.

This genus originally included two species, Em5is borealis, Linn., and &latybtera, Panz. Curtis in

1824 designated borealis as type, unmindful of the rule in present-day nomenclatorial proceedure that

gives preference to a tautonymic species. Accepting Curtis' selection safeguards much confusion for

otherwise the host of species described as RAam?Aomyia would require a change of name to the earlier

described Platybtera. H endel would recognize in Dionnaea the genus Platyftera, and acceptance of this

conclusion would still further imperil the nomenclatorial stability of the dominant genus Rhamfhomyia.

Eriogaster, Macquart founded on Emfis laniventris, Eschscholz is subgenerically equivalent to the species

grouped about E. borealis. Platypterygia, Stephens was erected for E. borealis. This is the group for

which most European dipterists reserve the name Empfis, s. str., based on E. tessellata,

The following species belong to the subgenus P/atyPtera: E. alampra, Lw., Aldrichii, Mel., borealis,

Linn., brachysoma, Coq., brevicornis, Lw., celigena, Mel., calcarata, Bez., cognata, Egg., cothurnata, Brullé,

Type species : Empis albicaus, Meigen, by Bezzi'sdesignation. The other recorded species are

curvibes, Lw., eumera, Lw., and fAenomeris, Lw., all restricted to Southeastern Europe and Asia Minor.

The American species frontalis, Coq., and sfectabilis, Lw., may be assigned here, althouph probably they

are phylogenetically distinct.

SuBGENUS PYRREMPIS, Nov. SUBGEN.

Characters. — Full-sized, yellow, setose species. Head globular, occipital setze biseriate and

strong; eyes of male narrowly separated above the middle of the front, facets uniform ; antennze setulose

at base, the second joint much shorter than the first; proboscis twice the head-height, palpi with few

hairs. Prothorax not lobate, but margined with stiff setze; dorsocentrals uniseriate, acrostichals wanting

or the anterior ones weakly indicated, humeral, posthumeral, presutural, two notopleural, and one or

two supra-alar bristles present; propleural setze present, metapleural setzte bunched. Abdomen shining,

FAM. EMPIDID/E 145

with long thin sete before the incisures, pygidium large or small. Legs setose, normal. Wings

normal, anal angle full, axillar incision deep and acute, costa with basal spine.

Tyne species : Empis rufescens, Loew. | E. tridentata, Coq. also belongs here. Both species

inhabit North America. ;

SuBGENUS XANTHEMPIS, BEZZzI

Characters. — Yellowish, bare, middle-sized species not showing sexual dimorphism. Eyes

of both sexes separated, facets uniform, front of male parallel-sided; head piriform, the occiput

projecting, its bristles in two regular series; first antennal joint usually lengthened, third narrow and

long. Prothorax neck-like, bilobed and setigerous above; notal bristles small, no pubescence, dorso-

centrals uniseriate, no acrostichals, typically one humeral, no notopleural, one posthumeral, one

supra-alar and two or four scutellar bristles, the inner ones cruciate; metapleural setule fine and

moderately few. Abdomen sparingly hairy and not bristly, pygidium large, with large free penis, styles

of ovipositor rather long. | Legs not stout, simple, slightly hairy. "Wings with strong veins, third vein

curving back and ending at wing-tip, discal cell blunt, anal angle obtuse.

Xanthempis is regarded as ancestral to the other divisions of Empis, as is shown by the yellow,

bare body with reduced bristles, the dichoptic males and lack of sexual dimorphism. The species

inhabit shady places in woods and thickets during early summer and do not hover in the aerial dance

characteristic of other species. Nearly all the known species are European, although two of the

following list are American.

Characters. — Robust species, differing from Empfis, s. str., only in the greater development

of the hairs which occur in conspicuous amount even on the face. Style of the antennze much shorter

than the third joint, basal joints of the antennz hirsute; eyes of the male contiguous along the front, the

upper facets larger than the lower but still small; proboscis twice as long as the head, vertical, palpi

rather cylindrical, porrect, hairy. Disk of the thorax very hairy, not setose, about six notopleurals no

FAM. EMPIDIDZE 179

humeral or posthumeral; metapleurz and pectus abundantly hairy. Abdomen with more or less hairs,

stout, sometimes asymmetrical toward the end in the male, in which case the fifth ventral is large and

posteriorly tuberculate. Legs strong but not deformed, hairy and bristly. "Wings narrow, costa stop-

ping at the tip of the wing, basal bristle present, auxiliary vein straight, ending before the costa, third

vein with a short fork, discal cell complete, shorter than the basals, anal cell small, anal vein attaining

the margin, axillar excision deep, alula small, with a short close fringe of fine hairs; calypteres nearly

bare, their fringe almost nricroscopic.

Type species : E. comantis, Coquillett. This group was supposed by Coquillett to bear the same

relation to Empis that Neocota did to Rhamphomyia. | In both cases the distinguishing characters are con-

fined to the hairy face and nearly bare calypteres. Species of Emfis of the obesa group are very similar

to Empimorpha, even to the reduction of the fringe of the calypteres. It seems more likely that JNeocota

has developed from Empimorpha by a loss of the fork ot the third vein than that both of these genera are

parallel outgrowths of RAamphomyia and Emfis. Such an evolution opens the interesting question as to

whether Rhamphomyia is not a polyphyletic group, developing from several of the subgenera of Empfis

through a simplification of the third vein. |

Characters. — Usually rather slender insects measuring from three to nine millimeters,

of dark often shining coloration, though sometimes yellow. | Head globular, occiput hairy; eyes

of the male usually contiguous or subcontiguous, if separated the front of the male is narrower

than that of the female, when dichoptic the facets are uniform, when holoptic the upper facets

are somewhat larger, eyes of the female always separated and with uniform facets ; face quadrate or

narrow, cheeks linear; antenna inserted near the middle of the head, projecting horizontally about as

much as the head-height, distinctly three-jointed, the first joint usually cylindrical and a little longer

than the globose second joint, both more or less hairy, the third joint elongate conical, tipped by a two-

segmented style, whose distal part is longer than the basal and tapers; proboscis ranging from as long

as the head to twice as long, depending vertically or folded somewhat backward, palpi cylindrical

upturned, hairy. "Thorax often a little arched, metathorax small, notal bristles very variable, as in Emfis,

metapleure always more or less setose. Abdomen usually compressed, pygidium often large and

elaborate, generally compressed and erect with slender central filament and broad lateral and dorsal

valves, sometimes the pygidium is closed. Legs provided with hairs and bristles, sometimes the femora

and tibiae of the female pennate, sometimes the knees of the male armed. — Wings of the female often

darker and sometimes broader than of the male, costa stopping at the tip of the wing, auxiliary vein

straight and interrupted at the end, third vein always simple, discal cell complete, except that rarely the

posterior crossvein is lacking, in some species the discal cell varies with the sex, being extraordinarily

large in the female, anal cell short, the crossvein strongly reflexed, anal vein discontinuous with the anal

cell, analangle of the wing large, but variable in size. axillar incision distinct, alula small or wanting,

calypteres with a dense fringe.

Rhamfhomyia is probably one of the most recent of the genera of Empididae, just as it is the

most plastic and in alpine regions the dominant genus. With four hundred species described it has

become one of the largest of genera and thus it is desirable that the well known and universally

accepted name be maintained and that attempts to seek out and establish prior names be discouraged.

In the interest of continuity I have accepted as the type species of Rhamfhomyia, sulcata Meigen, the

species selected by Curtis in 1834.

When Coquillett attempted to fix the nomenclature of the Empidida in 1903 he resurrected Wie-

demann's name Macrostomus for this genus. Seven years later, in his type species paper of 1910, he made

platyptera the tautonymic type of Platyptera Meigen. 1803, and since this is supposed to be the same as

Dionnea Meigen, 1800, he would change the host of species known as Rhamphomyia from Macrostomus to

Dionunea, spp. I have here, following Curtis, adopted borealis as the type of Platyptera, thus placing it

and the questionable Dionnuea in the synonymy under Emfis. Until the Fabrician species Hybos ferrugineus,

on which Wiedemann founded his genus Macrostomus, is rediscovered the name Macrostomus may well

be kept in abeyance.

'The species of Rhamphomyia are essentially boreal and seem to be unlimited in their number.

Often a species is unusually common for a few days to disappear until the next year. Some species

swarm in the open in an aerial dance; these are usually the species of summer or autumn, Others,

especially the vernal forms, frequent the deep shade of woods, and may be found about herbage or

lazily flying here and there. The genus is unusually plastic in characters, and hence a vast number

182 DIPTERA

of species results. A day's collecting in the haunts of these insects has rarely failed to produce a new

form. I have before me several hundred undescribed species of RhamfAomyia, and as the number of -

combinations of possible characters is far from being exhausted, it can be stated that we are just beginning

our acquaintance with these interesting species.

Whether RAamfhomyia is a monophyletic or a polyphyletic group is unsettled. The trend of

evolution in the genus is paralleled to a great degree by species of Em?is. The pennate structure of the

legs of the females, the development of ventral prongs on the abdomen of the male, the structure of his

pygidium and of the knee armature, the tendency to holopticism and the reduction or amplification of

the bristles may be the result of convergent evolution or may indicate that the various groups of species

we call RAamfhomyia are offshoots of the subgenera of Emfis, specialized by a simplification of the

third vein. Richard Frey of Helsingfors has recently published a segregation of this complex group

into subgenera. His study was based mainly on palzarctic species and accordingly his groups do not

adapt themselves as readily to the tropical forms as they do to the nearctic species. The divisions

proposed by Dr. Frey are based mainly on the arrangement of the notal bristles, character of axillar

incision of the wing. form of pygidium and contiguity of the male eyes. The subgenera are diagnosed

below and a list of species assignable to each is given. The list is obviously incomplete, being made

up from Frey's paper and such additional species as are before me. Some species, like R. cyanogaster,

Wh. & M., Pulchriventris, Bez., Sauferi, Bez., and tolteca, Wh. & M., do not agree well with the

subgenera as defined

SusBFAMILY CLINOCERATINZE

Characters. — Head globose, the eyes separated, their facets small; antenna short, located

above the middle of the head, three-jointed, the third joint oval, conical or onion-shaped, rarely

lengthened, the arista almost always much longer than the third joint; proboscis shorter than the head,

extending down from the lowest part of the head, usually fleshy and thick, but sometimes sharp and

chitinized, palpi small and incumbent on the proboscis, except in Synamphotera. Thorax narrow and

elongate, the mesonotum flattened in front of scutellum, almost always with macrochete on the

disk, never pilose, metapleurz often bearing a cluster of fine hairs. Genitalia of the male of the form

of either a pygidium or an epipygium, bilateral; no ovipositor. Legs slender, nowhere thickened,

unarmed, but rarely the front femora may bear flexor setulz,, which however are never arranged as

definite rows of denticles. In Cerafomerus, whose position is questionable, the middle femora of the

male bear apophyses. Wings cuneiform, no anal angle developed, costa encompassing the entire

wing, neuration complete, basal cells small, third vein forked or not, petiole of the second and third

veins arising nearer the humeral crossvein than to the anterior, anal vein reduced or absent, anal

crossvein variable, sometimes perpendicular, sometimes rounding into the underside of the anal cell,

stigma absent or very weak, but in W'iedemannia distinct.

Tyne species : the South American C. faradoxus, Philippi, which has not been found since its

original discovery in 1865. This fly is well named for it is impossible to assign its systematic position

with satisfaction. I take it that the slender legs and shortened front coxa bespeak a relationship with

the Clinoceratinz, and that the Hemerodromia-like neuration is the result of parallel evolution.

Abdomen nearly bare; epipygium reflexed and large, penis very thick, two pairs of erect side valves;

ovipositor conical, erect. Legs rather slender, without bristles, spurs or setze, front coxa one-half as

long as the femora and slightly longer than the posterior coxze, pulvilli moderate, empodium bristle-like,

minute. Wings with narrowed base, axillary angle very blunt, costa continuing around the wing, no

basal bristle, no costal setule, stigma very faint, auxiliary vein attaining the costa, first vein ending

beyond the middle of the wing, third vein forked and normally the upper branch angulate and connected

wing-margin, the anal cell a little shorter than the second basal, fourth vein arising near the base of the

anal cell, a fold present beneath the humeral crossvein, marginal cilia and costal hairs very short. The

crossveins at the end of the wing are quite unstable, additional ones may be present or the normal one

absent.

Taxonomy : In the analytical key to the genera of Empidina of his Prodromus of the Italian

Diptera, Rondani established the genus Dryodromia, citing but not describing the species /es/acea.

Coquillett was of the opinion that Rondani's species was Hilara tenella Fallen, with a supernumerary

FAM. EMPIDID/E 217

crossvein. Although such aberrant specimens may be rare in the genus Hilava, so as to make it doubtful

if Coquillett's conclusion is correct, yet his supposition is plausible enough to warrant the retention of

the better-known name Synamphotera for this genus. Anyway, Rondani's species feslacea was tabulated

sine descriptione and would give way to Loew's well described ?a/lida. | Mik referred Dryodromiato Tachyfeza

in the reference above given.

Tyne species : S. ?alliia, is the only known form. | It occurs in Europe and is considered rare.

Its earlier stages are not known.

Taxonomy. — Haliday erected the genus H eleodvomia for four species, immaculata, bipunctata,

stagnalis and fontinalis. Curtis (Brit. Ent. 1834) designated zmmaculata as the type for Heleodromia, and

Macquart (Hist. Nat. Dipt. Vol. 2, p. 658, 1835) repeated this. Macquart removed s/agnalis and

bipunclata to a new genus Hydrodromia, to which also belongs fontinalis,. M ik (Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges.

Wien, Vol. 31, p. 325, 1881) placed £ipunctata in his new genus Kowarzia. "Thus by elimination, stagnalis

is left as the type of the group Hydrodromia. Haliday, in a manuscript note, published in Westwood's

Intrbduction, Generic Synopsis, p. 132 (1840), proposed to substitute Sciodromia as the generic name for

immaculata, but did not give a valid reason for the change. Microcera was erected by Zetterstedt for

rostrata, which is a synonym of zmmaculata : his manuscript name for this insect was Macroura.

'The species of Heleodromia occur in Europe and in Western North America.

Characters. — Medium sized, slender, olive-gray tomentose, long-legged flies that occur along

water courses and in damp woods. . Head globular, slightly wider than high in those species with small

cheeks, sometimes the mouth is prolonged far downward and the head is then much higher than wide,

eyes widely separated, the face relatively broad. —Occiput rather flat, the neck located above the center

but not far from the center, bristles and setule prominent, usually three pairs of proclinate vertical

bristles; front broad, much shorter than the face, the ocelli on a prominent tubercle, the ocellar bristles

divergent and proclinate, inserted closer together than the posterior ocelli; face broad, the lower edge

transverse or peculiarly emarginate at the middle, cheeks variable, a more or less distinct suture between

the gena and the bucce, which sometimes occurs as a deep notch. Eyes round or oval, densely

pubescent, the facets uniform, the emargination at the antennze small. Antennz short, three-jointed,

located high on the head and almost touching, but the sockets distinctly separated, the second joint

globular, the third joint oval or onion-shaped, sometimes drawn out as a short process, with a thickened,

two-jointed bare arista, whose basal joint is minute and whose apex is either blunt or pointed.

overlapping the proboscis; palpi short, somewhat clavate, projecting, and usually but little hairy.

Thorax long and narrow, with a flattened area in front of the scutellum, thickly coated with olivaceous

228 DIPTERA

tomentum, prothorax visible from above, the prosternum long, but a little shorter than the mesosternum,

flared out around the base of the cox: and sometimes medially sulcate; bristles strong, one or more

humeral, one posthumeral, five or more dorsocentral one or two notopleural, one or no supra-

alar, one postalar, two scutellar bristles, acrostichals biseriate or wanting, sometimes the disk or the -

margin of the scutellum setulose and sometimes there are alternating setulz in the dorsocentral TOWs;

metapleurz with a group of upturned hairs, prosternum more or less hairy. Abdomen tomentose or -

pruinose, of the male the last two segments are small and support the forward-directed epipygium, which - E |

comprises a hood-shaped ventral piece terminated by the geniculate slender penis and bearing the

circular convex lateral valves, to which are articulated the various-shaped and complicated upper ;

valves. Legs slender and elongate, front coxa about one-half their femora in length, more orless -

setose or hairy along their front surface, the front femora sometimes a little thicker basally and variously -

provided with setulz, preapical femoral bristles or setulz» sometimes developed, sometimes a character- -

istic oblique comb of setulz on inner side of front femora just before the knee, tibi without apical

spurs, the hind tibiz sometimes bearing setze, pulvilli small, empodium narrow and about as long as

the claws except in Bergensíammia where it is practically absent. Wings cuneiform, no anal angle, the

costa strong around the entire margin, costal hairs long, costal setulze more or less developed, in Eucelidia

the setulz are prominent, humeral crossvein distinct, auxiliary vein entire, gently curving into the costa,

first vein terminating near the middle of the wing, stigma prominent or poorly developed, marginal -

cell elongate, third vein forked, the upper branch sometimes connected with the second vein byan

adventitious crossvein, in which case there are three submarginal cells, discal cell complete, pointed or

blunt at its apex, emitting three posterior veins, the second posterior cell sessile or acute at its base, —

second basal cell small the fourth vein starting beyond the base of the anal cell with an abrupt bend, -

anal and second basal cells coextensive, the anal crossvein recurved or reflexed and continuing uninter-

ruptedly under the anal cell, anal vein distinct from the anal cell, or wanting, marginal cilia usually

short.

This group of the EmPidide was subdivided by Mik in 1881 into ten genera. In doing this Mik

was ahead of his time, for even yet many of his characterizations are not considered to have generic

value. Two of his groups, based on the structure of the face and cheeks, are here preserved as of

generic rank, the remainder being considered as subgenera of the primary two. — Mik's distinctions have

not always been correlated in the North Americal species, nor in the subsequently discovered European

ones, but in the main his selection of such characters as the structure of the cheeks and of the epistome,

the formation of the empodium and the variations in chzetotaxy, showed a keen appreciation of characters

hitherto neglected. In 1918 Engel published an extended critical review of the subgenera and species

of Clinocera under the name Af/alanta.

The species of C/inocera are very distinctive in appearance. The elongate thorax with olive-brown

back and pruinose sides, the long slender black legs, short thick proboscis and cuneate wings, which are

often spotted, are characteristic of the Clinocerans. Further distinctions exist in the furcate third vein,

the small second basal cell and the rounded anal cell. The species are all found about damp woods,

flying along water-courses or sometimes about ponds. They are boreal, occurring mainly in the North,

in mountainous regions, some even appearing with the melting of the snow. They rarely occur in

swarms, but while they are not rare insects, they are not easily captured, for they remain close to the

water, fearlessly frequenting waterfalls, or running over the wet stones or even on the surface of the

water, and thus they can be taken in the net only with difficulty. As adaptations to this life there have

been developed the peculiar tomentose body covering, the dense pubescence of the eyes, the long

legs and wings and the strange sensitive hairs and empodium at the apex of the tarsi.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 229

GENUS CLINOCERA, MEIGEN

Characters. — To this division of the group C/znocera belong those species in which the lower

part of the head is not produced downward beneath the eyes. The cheeks are thus narrow, and are

deeply incised, even to the margin of the eye, and thus the sides of the face are entirely separated

from the lower occiput or cheeks. The pulvilli and empodium are developed except in the subgenus

Bergenstammia. None of the species has acrostichal or interstitial dorsocentral setule, and except in

Bergenstammia there are no setulz on the disk of the scutellum.

The following subgenera are recognized :

Clinocera, in the strict sense. Lower edge of the face transverse and not excised; discal cell

rather sharp apically, wings not or scarcely spotted, costal setulz usually minute, stigma wanting or

faint.

Tyne species : nigra, Meigen (Pl. 2, Fig. 18). The only species mentioned in the original

description. Some recent papers, unfortunately including Kertész' Catalogue of the Diptera of the

world, have adopted Meigen's 1800 name Af/alanía in place ofthe universally known Clinocera, and

would call the subfamily the A/alantineg. As Meigen mentions no species in this early paper the type

dates from H endel's interpretation in 1908, reason enough for disregarding the name Atalanta.

SuBcGENUS HYDRODROMI!A, MACQUART

Characters. — Lower edge of the face entire and transverse, not notched ; discal cell blunt

apically, wings more or less obviously spotted on the crossveins and on the forks of the veins but

without a distinct stigma, costal setulae variable, sometimes an extra crossvein connecting the upper fork

of the third vein with the second vein and thus producing three submarginal cells.

Tyne species : H. s/agnalis. Haliday. Macquart included two species in Hydrodromia, stagualis

and óifunctata, the latter being removed by Mik to his genus Kowarzia. .By elimination, as Coquillett

noted in 1903, s/agnalis becomes the type of Hydrodromia. | Heleodromia of various authors, based on

stagnalis, is not the same as Genus 10, Heleodromia, based on immaculata. | Paramesia W esmelii, Macquart,

which was designated by Coquillett in 1903 as the type of Paramesia, is congeneric with H. stagualis.

SuBGENUS PHZEOBALIA, Mik

Characters. — Lower edge of the face with a median excision, the membrane filling the notch

depressed and more or less carinate; discal cell blunt at the tip, wings spotted as in Hydrodromia, but

the stigma is more distinct.

Type species : P. lrinolata, Mik, by Coquillett's designation, 1903. Engel has unnecessarily

specified P. dimidiata, Loew as the genotype.

SuBGENUS KOWARZIA, Mik

Characters. — Face with several scattered hairs, its lower edge incised in the middle, the notch

filled by a depressed membrane which is more or less carinate; discal cell blunt at the tip, wings not

spotted, the stigma poorly developed.

Type species : K. barbatula, Mik, by Coquillett's designation, 1903.

Type, Moscow Mountain, Idaho, July 6, 1912; paratype, same locality, Sept. 16, 1917 (Melander). .

A female from Mount Rainier, Washington, August 3, 1905, submitted by Professor Aldrich, differs in that the front

femora lack the flexor bristling, and the darkening of the wings is more extended, the wings being somewhat infumated but

with subhyaline spaces near the centers of the short cells and near the base and apex of the longer cells.

(2) Clinocera trunca, nov. sp. — Female. Length 3.5 mm, Black, coated above with greenish and on the sides

and below with slate-colored pollen; legs black; wings brownish, veins strong. Occiput and vertex greenish, upper part

of the face concave, dusky, lower part convex, white, separated from the very short dusky cheeks; eyes large; occipital -

bristles not numerous ; palpi small, black, proboscis very short; antenne black, the third joint short, arista longer than

the antennz. — Mesonotum completely greenish pollinose, with faint indications of two dark vittze, no acrostichals, six

uniform dorso-centrals, scutellum with two apical bristles; metapleurze with a few fine white hairs; metanotum slaty blue.

Legs entirely black, front femora with a few inconspicuous setulae beneath; claws, pulvilli and empodium uniformly small.

Wings unspotted but lightly infumated, the centers of the cells a little paler, veins strong, nearly black, costa] setulz very

minute, two submarginal cells, the second somewhat broader at the end than the first, the anterior branch of the third vein -

imperfect at its origin in the type specimen, gently and evenly sinuous, first and second posterior cells nearly alike at their

base, the last section of the fourth vein but slightly longer than the front edge of the discal cell, anterior crossvein placed

at two-fifths the length of the discal cell, the externo-anterior edge of the second basal cell two-thirds the length of the first

section of the front border of the discal, posterior crossvein elbowed at its posterior third, making nearly a right angle

with the fifth vein, last two sections of the fifth vein equal, anal crossvein round, separately closing the anal cell, anal vein

replaced by a fold : halteres black.

Type specimen collected by Professor J. M. Aldrich at Dewatto, Washington, June 7, 1906. Four paratypes from

Olga and Friday Harbor, Washington, May and June, differ in having three submarginal cells. However, in two of these

specimens there are three submarginals in one wing and two in the other, A poorly preserved specimen in the National

Museum, from Ungava Bay, Hudson Strait, having three submarginal cells, differs in that the legs are brownish instead of

fully black.

"This species agrees fairly well with Walker's brief description of longifes, except for the decidedly brown and not gray

color of the wings and the lack of gray pollinosity of the legs. Osten Sacken suggested that Walker's species is the same

as Loew's simplex, but the latter has the mesonotum evittate,

Characters. — Lower part of the head more or less produced beneath the eyes, cheeks not

deeply divided by a suture, so that the face is never wholly constricted from the lower occiput; lower

edge of the face deeply and broadly excised, the notch filled by a depressed membrane which may be

more or less carinate; pulvilli and empodium developed; acrostichals usually present; discal cell usually

quite sharp apically, the stigma more or less developed.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 241

The following subgenera are closely related and are not sharply differentiated. — W iedemannia of

Zetterstedt is not the same genus as W iedemannia of Meigen, 1838 : the latter is Mint4o Desvoidy.

Subgenus Wiedemannia in the strict sense. Stigma large and circular, commencing much beyond

the end of the first vein and. projecting into the wing so that it touches or passes the second vein, this

vein being bent down around the stigma, five or six dorsocentrals alternating with rather long bristles,

the anterior acrostichals reclinate unlike those of the prescutellar area, which are proclinate, scutellum

with discal setulz; head prolonged below eyes about the eye-height; terminal lamellz of epipygium

usually tipped with tuft of hairs.

Type species : W. bistigma, Curtis. Zetterstedt described two species, borealis and appendiculata.

The former is synonymous with 5is/igma and becomes the type since the latter belongs to the earlier

genus Clinocera.

SuBGENUS PSEUDOWIEDEMANNIA, ENGEL

Stigma more or less rounded, located much beyond end of first vein, smaller than in W'ede-

mannia and not passing below second vein; at most five dorsocentrals with very weak alternating setula ;

acrostichals biseriate onto the scutellum but either weak or strong ; cheeks about half the eye-height.

Tyne species : P. lamellata, Loew, by Engel's designation.

SuBGENUS EUCELIDIA, Mik

Stigma elongate, beginning at the tip of the first vein and not touching the straightened second

vein, costal spines strongly projecting; all the femora bearing preapical bristles on the front and hind

sides; acrostichals if present all proclinate; scutellum with setule in addition to the apical pair of

bristles ; alternate dorsocentrals small.

Tyne species : E. Zetlerstedti, Fallen, by Coquillett's designation, 1903. Mik founded his genus

Roederia upon C. longipenuis, Mik. Engel finds that this species in the same as Eucelidia Escheri, Zetter-

stedt. "Therefore Roederia falls a synonym of Eucelidia.

SuBGENUS CLINOCERELLA, ENGEL

Stigma elongate as in Eucelidia; legs without distinctive bristles; five or six dorsocentrals with or

without alternating sete; acrostichals more or less developed, scutellum with or without setulze; head

projecting downward half the eye-height and tapering to the proboscis.

Type species : C. sorex, Engel, by Engel's designation. Mik used an unpublished name,

Orthorhynchium, for this group.

SuBGENUS CAMELOPIS, ENGEL

Stigma elongate as in Eucelidia; five dorsocentrals with intermediate setze, acrostichals reaching

over scutellum, the anterior ones reclinate, the posterior ones proclinate, rarely the intermediate dorso-

centrals weak or wanting; scutellum setulose; humeral bristle long and weak; head strongly projecting

downward below the eys nearly or quite the eye height, in profile rectangular.

Type species : C. ?Aantasma, Mik, by Engel's designation.

SuBGENUS PHILOLUTRA, Mik

Stigma elongate, as in the preceding, costal spines smaller; preapical femoral bristles not strong;

anterior acrostichals reclinate, the posterior ones proclinate, scutellum with setule, five dorsocentrals

often with intermixed setulaze, head sometimes greatly drawn out beneath the eyes.

242 DIPTERA

Type species : P. PAanlasma, Mik, Coquillett's designation in 1903. Coquillett made this purely

a synonym of Roedería, since its main characteristic, the presence of the acrostichal setulz is inconstant.

I retain the name here, like the two following groups, as a matter of convenience. The species are not

phyletically distinct, and since the characters chosen are artificial combinations, species occur which do

not conform in all respects to the definitions given.

SuscENUS CHAMZEDIPSIA, Mik

Stigma elongate, as in Eucelidia, costal spines not projecting; preapical bristles of the femora with

setze ; rows of acrostichals incomplete, at most some reclinate setulze present on the anterior part of the

notum, scutellum typically without setulz, alternate smaller setulz usually present in the dorsocentral

rows;arista usually blunt at the end.

Type species : C. Aasíala, Mik, the only species originally mentioned.

SuscENUS RCEDERELLA, ENGEL

Stigma elongate, oval, costal spines rather prominent; preapical bristles of the femora absent, front

femora with a comb of three or four bristles near tip; only short anterior acrostichals present, scutellum

with marginal setulz, five dorsocentral bristles present and no intermediate ones, :

Type species : R. Csernyi, Bezzi, by original designation.

Characters. — Small, slender, delicate, dark colored, rather shining species with brown wings

marked with hyaline spots, with strong bristles and with simple legs. Head produced downward, the

neck attachment located high up on the occiput so that the head is borne projecting obliquely forward,

the mouth-opening at the end of the head and not on the lower side as in Hemerodromia, | Occiput with

radiating bristles, those above long, one pair of proclinate frontoorbitals, ocellar bristles strong, curving

upward and spaced apart as much as the posterior ocelli, no lesser or postvertical bristles; front very

short and broad, the ocelli on a large prominent tubercle, face tapering beneath, cheeks narrow ; eyes

large and ovate, the emargination at the antennz small, facets uniform, densely short-hairy ; antennze

not quite touching, short and three-jointed, the second and third joints globular, the thickened arista

not hairy, bending downward, two-jointed but the basal segment minute; proboscis very short, thick,

palpi minute, curving forward. Thorax elongate, the prothorax visible from above, the prosternum

rather long but not flared out around the base of the coxe and not sulcate medially; bristles long,

comprising one humeral, one posthumeral, no notopleural, one supraalar, one small postalar, five

dorsocentral and two scutellar; metapleurz with a group of upturned hairs, sparse in irrorata. Abdomen

depressed, shining, more or less hairy, pygidium rather small but robust, turned back over the small

last two segments, comprising a ventral hood-shaped piece, two lateral valves and two chitinized

superior forcipate valves, the penis with thickened base and circularly curved end; no ovipositor, the

end of the female abdomen blunt. Legs unarmed, the front coxze half as long as their femora, no

bristles or tibial spurs but the front and hind tibiz tipped with a pecten of close fitting setule, pulvilli

small, empodium linear. Wings cuneate, no anal angle, costa encompassing the entire margin, a

strong basal costal bristle, costal setulaee minute, fringe of the hind margin longer than the anterior

crossvein; auxiliary vein complete, ending by a gentle curve in the costa, first vein ending before the

middle of the wing, no stigma, longitudinal veins more or less undulating, three submarginal cells,

the fork of the third vein angulate and there connected with the second vein by an adventitious

crossvein, second basal cell small, the fourth vein originating near the middle of the anal cell, discal

cell long, complete, emitting three separate posterior veins, anal cell a little shorter than the second

basal, apically round, no anal vein.

Type species : D. irrorata, Fallen (Pl. 3, Fig. 24). Macquart gave a very clear description of

Dolichocephala with its single species, maculata, which in the same paper he determined as a synonym of

irrorata, Later he redescribed the genus as Ardoftera. The species of this genus are delicate little flies

that frequent damp shady woods near water. They are not common, never occurring in swarms.

Characters. — Slender, elongate, frail, nearly bare, little flies with elongate raptorial front legs

and forked third vein, usually of reddish coloration, but sometimes the body is blackened. Head

produced obliquely downward, somewhat flattened, nearly as broad as the thorax, ocelli placed rather

far forward, eyes obliquely oval, bare, with a rather deep notch at the antenne, facets more or less

enlarged below, lower orbits usually with a conspicuous white pruinose spot, which is broader below,

vertex large and broad, front varying from short to long, but broader than the short face, which is

sometimes quite narrowed by the subcontiguous eyes, cheeks linear, oral opening and epistome with

dense silky pubescence, vertex rarely with setule and with no or one bristle. Antenne inserted low

on the head, contiguous, three-jointed, the basal joints not setose, the third joint compressed ovate,

with apical unjointed style which varies from one-twentieth to two-thirds the length of the third joint

and is either bare or hairy. Proboscis about as long as the head, slender, incurved, the densely hairy,

small, slender, one-jointed palpi more or less retracted, vertical or directed somewhat backward. Thorax

conspicuously longer than wide, quadrate or tapering forward when viewed from above when the

prothorax and metathorax are quite visible, humeral grooves more or less distinct, pollinose but not

pubescent, with very sparse biseriate acrostichal and uniseriate dorsocentral setule, no prescutellar

bristles, no humeral, one supraalar, one or no postalar bristles, several notopleural setulz,, sometimes

two fine scutellar bristles, sometimes no, two or four scutellar hairs, setulz in front of the scutellum

proclinate; mesopleurz very long between the front and middle coxal attachments, metapleure bare.

Abdomen slender and cylindrical, comprising eight segments, the first very small and in the male the

last also, ovipositor more or less conical, variable in length, pygidium globose or with a hood-shaped

lower piece surmounted by a pair each of broad, usually forcipate lateral and dorsal valves, penis clavate

or capitate, sometimes hidden. Legs slender, the posterior pairs simple but the front pair remarkably

modified, front coxe very long, usually extremely slender, the prosternum flared at the coxal cavities,

front femora and front tibiz raptorial, the former swollen and with biseriate flexor setule and usually

with prominent lateral stiff setze, the front tibiz shorter than the femora, produced within as a sharp

spur and with flexor setulee which engage between the femoral setulz when the leg is folded, otherwise

no bristles or apical spines, tarsi simple and slender, the posterior metatarsi long, pulvilli minute.

Wings slender, oval, the anal angle wanting, costa continuing around the entire wing, but in Hemerodro-

mia s. str. very much attenuated beyond the fourth vein, no costal bristle or setulz, the costal hairs short,

but the hairs of the hind margin rather long, especially toward the base, auxiliary vein present but its

course variable, third vein forked, the upper branch rather erect, stigma present or absent, pedicel of

the second and third veins very short; otherwise the neuration varies greatly as outlined below.

Ethology : These odd little flies with their semi-translucent legs and bodies, are the most delicate

of the Empididz. They occur, never in large numbers, in shady sheltered spots in the woods, usually

near water, running over herbage and low shrubbery. Sometimes the species occur in houses, where,

as Mrs. Slosson has said: «as they run upon a window-pane with the light behind them they seem mere

shadows, little ghosts, frail, elf-like things». Some species are nocturnal, and are attracted to lights. -

Brocher, who has recently studied the life-history of C. £recatoria, found the larva in the mud of

streams. The larva is slender, but tapers in front, its posterior end is furnished with five or six diverging

hairs, and ventrally it has seven pairs of retractile propodia. The pupa has paired tracheal filaments,

each two-thirds as long as the body, attached at the spiracles, and including one prothoracic and seven

abdominal pairs; it has no dorsal spines but merely girdles of setulze on the abdomen. — The pupal period -

lasted thirteen days.

Taxonomy : The old genus Hemerodromia has had a host of synonyms. While many of the

names were bestowed as subgenera on certain permutations of three neurational characters, — namely,

the presence or absence of the discal cell, the presence or absence of the anal cell and the shape of the

second posterior cell, whether sessile or petiolate, — others are pure homonyms. The usual custom

has been to consider these groups as subgenera, since they were based on but slight variations of the

venation. These so-called subgenera have been characterized as follows : $

Discal cell Anal cell Second posterior cell

Hemerodromia, Meigen, s. str. imperfect absent ; petiolate

Metachela, Coquillett imperfect present petiolate |

Neoplasta, Coquillett : imperfect present sessile

Chelifera, Macquart present present petiolate

Cladodromia, Bezzi present present sessile

If such variations in wing venation were not correlated with other characters the groups would

be artificial and could have at most but subgeneric rank, for the second posterior cell, e. g. in

Cladodromia, varies from sessile to V-shaped, and even to Y-shaped with a short petiole, and MetacAela

as defined included two species, one with the discal cell fused with the second basal and the other with

it fused with the third posterior cell. However, a closer inspection shows that the trivial differences in

neuration are associated with more fundamental characters in the structure of the wing and correlated

at the same time with differences in the form of the body. Accordingly, the old genus Hemerodromia

has been segregated into two distinct groups, Hemerodromia, s. str. (i. e. Microdromia) and Chelifera.

The remaining groups are less important subdivisions of the latter genus, although Chelifera, s. str.,

with its thorax tapering anteriorly, may ultimately be removed from the broad-shouldered others, and

Neoplasta with its narrow face and slender front legs may likewise be segregated from the rest. In

addition, another genus has been erected for two Central American species whose neuration superficially

resembles that of N'eoplasta.

Concerning which of the restricted groups should bear the name Hemerodromia there has been

much discussion. As this can be settled only by ascertaining the type species, various writers have

argued as variouely for this or that genotype. The following statement shows the nomenclatural status

of Hemerodromia and its allies.

Hemerodromia, Meigen. Meigen originally described nine species under this name; the ffth,

mantisba, Panzer, was selected as the type by Westwood, in 1840. However, in 1823 Macquart had

FAM. EMPIDID/E 253

designated mantisba, Panz. as the type of his genus Chelipoda, thus removing this species from

consideration as the type of Hemerodromia. In 1856 Rondani then assigned oratoria Fallen, Meigen's

third species, as the type of Hemerodromia, but subsequent writers have generally accepted Meigen's

first species, monosiigma Meigen, as the type, following the « first species » principle.

However, this is not the whole story and the status of the names is far from being as clear as

might be. Mantisba, Panzer proves to be melanocephala Fabricius : Macquart's mantispa is vocatoria,

Fallen, and monostigma, Meigen is frecatoria Fallen. The following arguments can be made :

r. Macquart's genus Chelipoda, with mantisba Panzer (— melanocephala, Fabricius) specified as

its type, may be considered as a complete synonym of Hemerodromia, thus using the name in a different

sense than agreed on by general usage. Recent codes sanction this procedure, as they make no

allowance for mistakes in identification.

2. Or, if weallow for Macquart's misidentification, since he states that his mantisha has a discal

cell whereas Panzer's species had the discal cell open, and make mantisba Macquart (— vocatoria, Fallen)

the type of CAelipoda, we reserve the two oldest names, Hemerodromia and Chelipoda for two valid genera.

This seems certainly the logical proceding, even though it is forbidden by certain codes of nomenclature.

3. Since Macquart's mantisba was erroneously identifed, Coquillett in 1903, selected

Macquart's second species, minor as the type for CLelipoda, and as this proved later to be the true

mantispa of Panzer (— melanocephala, Fabricius), in 1910 he placed this genus as a synonym of

Hemerodromia, both having the same type by late designation. However, in doing this he overlooked

Macquart's definite words : « celle nommée »aztisba, que je considére sous le nom de Célifode,

comme le type d'un genre distinct ». While the codes of nomenclature permit the abandonment of a

genus if its type should prove to be the same as the previously selected type of an older genus, yet when

an author selects the genotype when publishing his genus, that species is no longer available as the type

for a polytypical genus. Applying this principle in the present case, Westwood should not have

designated mantisba, Panzer as type for Hemerodromia, as it had already been specified as the type of

Chelipoda.

4. Many writers (e. g. Bigot, Loew, Williston, Lundbeck, Bezzi, Kertész) have accepted

Meigen's first species, monostigma, which is either frecaforia, Fallen or sZgmatica Schiner, as the

genotype; although their reason for doing so is apparently that it was Meigen's first species. This

principle is not tenable in any of the present day codes of nomenclature.

5. Therefore Rondani's selection of oratoria, Fallen is apparently the earliest indication of a

type species for Hemerodromia.

Characters. — Apart from the general characters possessed by all the Hemerodromias as given

previously, the following structures especially pertain to this genus. i

Eyes large, the lower facets conspicuously enlarged so as to bring the eyes very close together

on the middle of the face, the front short; style one-half to two-thirds as long as the third joint of the

antennz and hairy. Thorax quadrate, when viewed from above, without distinct prescutellar depres-

sion, the humeral grooves distinct; scutellum usually rather flat, as large as or larger than the

metanotum, with a pair of well-separated setze; ovipositor usually short and conical. Front coxze thin,

front femora setose. Costa greatly thinned beyond the fourth vein but the hind margin thickened at the

very base, humeral crossvein wanting, the auxiliary vein bending forward and fusing with the costa

close to thé base of the wing and later separating from it, the first vein ending before the middle of the

wíng, second vein long and straight, pedicel of the second and third veins very short and completely

atrophied, discal cell open outwardly, second posterior cell with a long petiole, anal cell wanting, the

anal vein passing into the hind margin at its very root.

(1) Colabris rufescens, nov. sp. — Length 2 2 mm. Reddish yellow, the head, metanotum and genitalia black,

à diffused prescutellar spot dark brown, the lower mesopleurze, scutellum and haltereslightbrown. Lower occiput bearing

the usual densely white pruinose orbital mark, front no longer than the distance between the posterior ocelli, eyes very

narrowly separated on the face, mouthparts yellow, palpi short; antennze yellow, the third joint ovate, one-half longer than

broad, with a microscopic style. Thoracic setulz microscopic, the two rows of acrostichals almost contiguous, notum and

pleurse not pollinose, rather shining. Front coxe but slightly shorter than their femora, of the male inflated, nearly as

thick as their femora, of the female slender, Abdomen more or less fuscous, ovipositor nearly as long as the abdomen.

Veins strong, brown, the second third and fourth sections of the costa proportioned 2 : 4 : 3.5, sections of the fifth vein

proportioned 1:2: 1.

Three specimens; Alhajuelo, Canal Zone, Panama, collected by August Busck. Type inthe U. S. National Museum.

(2) Colabris coxalis, nov. sp. (PI. 3, Fig. 27). — Length 22 mm. Same as rufescens, but the front coxze are

blackish and their hairs are black. Second, third and fourth sections of the costa proportioned 2 : 3 5 : 4.

Two specimens; Alhajuelo, Panama, March. Type in the U, S. National Museum.

Characters. — Eyes rather large, the lower facets larger than the upper but not expanding the

eyes so as to bring them almost together on the face, as in Hemerodromia, front relatively longer, the

sides of the face parallel; style one-third to one-twentieth as long as the third antennal joint, bare.

Thorax typically gradually narrowed anteriorly, but often the thorax is quadrate, the humeri marked

off by distinct grooves, a flattened or depressed space before the scutellum, the scutellum narrower than

the metanotum, with two apical setze placed close together. Front coxa thin, front femora usually

strongly raptorial and setose in front and back. Costa continuing around entire wing-margin, auxiliary

vein straight, well-separated from the costa, the humeral crossvein distinct, first vein ending at or beyond

the middle of the wing, pedicel of the second and third veins distinct though rather short, anal cell

complete, the anal vein separated from the hind margin. -

(The subgenera of CAelifera are characterized as follows :

Chelifera, Macquart, s. str. Discal cell complete, emitting two veins, the anterior of which is

forked, thus the second posterior cell has a long petiole; second vein curving around a more or less

visible stigma ; thorax distinctly tapering anteriorly in surface view ; no ovipositor; front femora strongly

setose; antennalstyle very short and bare, one-tenth to one-fourth as long as the third joint of the

antenng.

Tyne species : C. frecatoria, Fallen (Pl. 4, Fig. 28).

Cladodromia, Bezzi. ^ Discal cell complete, emitting three veins, the second posterior cell sessile

or pointed at its base, rarely with a short petiole; thorax opaque, apparently quadrate; ovipositor rather

thick and long ; front legs strongly setose; antennal style very short.

Type species : C. znca, Bezzi.

Metachela, Coquillett. Discal cell fused with the second basal, the anterior crossvein far before

the posterior, second posterior cell with a long petiole; thorax not tapering in front; ovipositor ensiform;

front femora setose; style one-third as long as the third antennal joint and thick; pygidium erect.

260 DIPTERA

Type species : Hemerodromia collusor, Melander.

Thanategía, nov. subgen. Discal cell open outwardly, the anterior crossvein, much beyond -

the apparent posterior crossvein, second posterior cell with a very long pedicel; thorax not tapering

anteriorly ; ovipositor blunt not protracted; front femora strongly setose; antennal style microscopic and

bare, pygidium large, terminal, the upper valves long, recurved and forcipate.

Characters. — Slender, reddish yellow species with strongly raptorial front legs — Head

globular, but a little longer in an obliquely downward direction, the upper occiput small, the front.

broad ; eyes bare, large, with their lower forward facets somewhat enlarged, thus making the face and

cheeks narrow. | Occiput hairy below but with a single row of setze above, the uppermost three pairs of

which form the vertical bristles; ocelli large, one pair of strong ocellar bristles and usually behind them

a pair of lesser ocellars; mouth-opening small and circular, proboscis much shorter than the height of

the head, slender and slightly incurved, palpi very small, cylindrical and tipped with several fine hairs :

antenne plainly three-jointed, inserted close together and below the middle of the head, the last joint

compressed conical. with a rather thick, long, two-jointed arista, the basal joint of which is minute.

Thorax elongate, quadrate, narrower in front than the head, scarcely convex and in front of the small

scutéllum even flattened, coated with more or less evident gray pollen, humeri small, prothorax visible

from above; macrochztze well developed, one strong posthumeral (possibly to be considered as the

foremost dorsocentral), no humeral, two widely separated pairs of dorsocentrals. the anterior of which

is sometimes reduced, two scutellars, one supraalar, no postalar, no notopleural, but sometimes some

notopleural setulze, only a single prescutellar pair of the acrostichal setulze present : metapleure with

two or three upward-directed setulz,, the mesosternum in profile angulate in the middle, prosternum

ridged between the coxee. Abdomen more or less cylindrical, consisting of seven segments and the

genitalia, male with a large to very large epipygium which comprises a strongly compressed, carinate

lower part bearing a pair of forcipate valves directed forward over the abdomen; ovipositor very short,

fleshy, with two styles. Front coxa slender and long, over twice as long as the posterior pairs, usually

(Chelipoda, s. str.) with a basal spine directed forward, front femora incrassate, biseriately spinulose

beneath, and in front and back seriately setose, front tibize fitted to close against their femora, no

terminal spine or tibial spurs, posterior legs simple, pulvilli minute. Wings margined behind by the

prolongation of the costa, in front with a basal costal bristle and with costal hairs, no stigma, auxiliary

vein straight, parallel with the costa and vanishing apically, first vein short, second vein long, third

FAM. EMPIDID/E 265

vein not forked, pedicel ot the second and third veins arising at the middle of the first basal cell, discal

cell complete and with three posterior veins (CAelipoda) or open apically and the fourth vein forked

( PAyllodromia), anal cell subequal to the second basal cell or somewhat shorter, the anal crossvein curved

outwardly, anal vein separate from the hind margin of the wing : calypteres with a few cilia.

Nomenclature. Type species : by Macquart's original designation, mazftisba, Macquart

(not Panzer') — vocatoría, Fallen (Pl. 8, Fig. 25). Coquillett (1903), would make minor,

Macquart — melanocephala, Fabricius, the type, and in 1910 considered CAelifoda a synonym of Hemero-

dromia, Rondani in 1856 designated melanocephala, Fabricius, as the type of PAyllodromia and vocatoria,

Fallen as the type of Chiromantis. The next year Bigot founded Lefidomyia (not Lepidomyia, Loew (1864),

a Syrphid, changed by Mik (1886), to Lepidostola), on the same melanocephala, as mantisba, Meigen.

Thamnodromia, Mik, was a change of name for PAyllodromia, Zetterstedt (1837, not 1842), which was

thought preoccupied by PAyllodromia, Serville (1839), The type of PAyllodromia thus becomes the type

of Thamnodromia. | Litanomyia, Melander, with type mexicana, Wheeler and Melander, by Coquillett's

designation, is not generically distinct from C/eelipoda.

'The synonymy of these genera may be thus shown :

Subgenus CAelipoda, Macquart, s. str. Type : vocatoria, Fallen.

Chiromantis, Rondani. Type : vocatoria, Fallen.

Litanomyia, Melander. Type : mexicana, Wheeler and Melander.

Phyllodromia of the catalogues.

Subgenus PAyllodromia, Zetterstedt. "Type: melanocephala, Fabricius.

Chelipoda of the catalogues.

Hemerodromia, Westwood and Coquillett, 1910. Type : melanocephala, Fabricius.

Lepidomyia, Bigot. Type : melanocephala, Fabricius.

Thamnodromia, Mik. Type : melanocephala, Fabricius.

Vocatoria possesses a complete discal cell, while in melanocephala the discal cell is outwardly open;

otherwise these species are structurally very much alike, certainly belonging to the same genus. Bezzi

has recently described a curious form from Formosa, which in its reduced chatotaxy and enlarged anal

cell departs markedly from the other species of Caelifoda. This species, jiclipenmis, has here been

removed to the recently erected genus, CepAalodromia, Becker.

Geographical distribution. — Both of the subgenera occur in Europe and North America

and CAelifoda occurs also in South America and Oceania.

as the proboscis, tipped with several strong bristles. Thorax oblong, tapering in front of the wings,

flattened, the humeri large and marked off by coarse grooves; no humeral bristle, one or two short

stiff notopleural, two rows of microscopic acrostichal setulze, dorsocentrals uniseriate, microscopic except

the prescutellar one which is usually stiff and large, postalar callus strong but without bristle, two straight

stiff scutellar bristles; pleurze shining or pollinose, without bristles; abdomen comprising eight segments, :

the first ventral not chitinized, in the female tipped with two slender styles, in the male the pygidium is

terminal, globular below. Front legs with rather large coxe& and swollen femora, hind legs long and

Tyne species : T. »ubila, Meigen, by designation of Rondani in 1856. Meigen in 1822 separated

his species of Tachydromia into two groups, calling them A and B. In 1827 Macquart gave the name

Platypalpus to group B, and in 183o Meigen called his group A Tachyfeza. It is from group A that Loew

in 1863 separated his genus TacAista, which, containing the genotype of Tachydromia has become a

synonym of that genus. ;

The species of Tachypesa are often found running up and down the trunks of trees, especially such

as have smooth bark. They carry their wings held against the abdomen and are loathe to take to flight.

They can easily be collected by blowing them with a puff into the insect net. "The earlier stages are

not known with certainty.

yellowish; calypteres with five white hairs. Wings subhyaline, a little dusky in the middle where the veins are blackish, the

fifth vein dark even at its base, the fourth vein parallel with the third except toward its end where it gently curves forward,

the third section of the costa three times the length of the fourth section, posterior crossvein shorter than the anterior, the

distance between them longer than either, outer sections of the fifth vein subequal.

femora marked beneath with two round black spots. Occiput lightly cinereous, except a denser orbital line, occipital hairs

sparse, antennze reddish, the terminal brown arista quite four times the length of the antenne, palpi whitish, proboscis

reddish brown. Mesonotum lightly dusted, subshining, pleurz polished. Pygidium moderately large, shining black, its

' Characters, — Minute, slender flies of shining jet-black color and almost devoid of hairs and

bristles. | Head globular, the occiput hemispherical or conical, its hairs sparse; eyes large, with large

facets, those on the upper part a little smaller, broadly contiguous on the face in both sexes; front narrow,

its sides straight and nearly parallel, slightly broadening above; three large ocelli, ocellar and vertical

bristles minute; cheeks wanting ; proboscis shorter than the head, rigid, vertical, not broadened at the

base, palpi slender, ribbon-like, in the male sometimes remarkably broadened apically, vertical and

applied against the proboscis, whose length they equal or exceed, tipped with one or several bristles;

antenne short. two-jointed, the basal joint without setze, the outer joint rounded oval, with long, slender,

nearly bare, terminal or subterminal arista.

Thorax longer than broad, not greatly convex, considerably narrowed from the wings forward;

humeri greatly enlarged and constricted by a furrow from the disk of the mesonotum; sometimes a

minute humeral bristle present, one notopleural, one postalar on a prominent callus, two or four

scutellars, the lateral pair normally small, acrostichal setulze microscopic, practically absent, dorsocentral

setule uniseriate, minute, the hindmost longest but not as strong as in Tachyfeza; no pleural bristles.

Pygidium small, more or less globular, or triangular in outline; abdominal segments not pitted

laterally. Legs slender, cursorial, the front femora strongest, devoid of bristles but with microscopic

hairs, those of underside of front tibiz serrately arranged, no spurs or spines present: the male of Tacoma

with the middle legs deformed, but in the other species the males have at most small flexor spines on

280 DIPTERA

the middle femora or tibie. Wings narrow, anal angle much reduced, costa a little thicker beyond the

ending of the first vein, marginal cell usually long, the second vein ending at the outer fifth of the wing,

but sometimes (P/oneulisca) recurved, the second basal cell surpassing the first usually by two or more

times the length of the crossveins, both crossveins small, the posterior transverse, no trace of an anal

cell, hind margin rather short-ciliate but sometimes fringed; the wings. are usually marked with two dark

crossbands leaving a central more or less complete hyaline fascia between them, the base and apex

hyaline.

Type species : T. conexa, Meigen (Pl. 4, Fig. 29). Theapplication of the name Tachydromia

has been the subject of considerable dispute, the history of which I have given in Psyche (Vol. 17,

p. 41-48 [1910]). When Meigen erected the genus Tachydromia in 1803 he assigned to it two species,

cursitans and. címicoides, one or the other of which must be selected as its type. In 1827 Macquart .

formed the genus PlatypalPus for those species grouped about cursifams, and thus, by elimination,

cimicoides became the type of Tachydromia. But Meigen's identification of the Fabrician cimicoides was

erroneous, and later he described this species as comsexa. This species was definitely assigned as the

type of Tachydromia by Coquillett in 1903. According to the established laws of priority there is no

reason for rejecting the name Platyfalpus, although this has been done by the majority of dipterists,

apparently on the principle of « follow the leader ». The recently resuscitated name Coryneta, Meigen,

1800, has been used by Kertész to replace Tachydromia (— Platypalpus) in his Catalogus.

Loew's genus Phoneutisca was established on bimaculata, an Alaskan species with recurved second

vein and subterminalarista. I have this species now from British Columbia and Alaska. The male

has curiously formed palpi, which slightly surpass the proboscis, the basal half slender and white, the

apical half wide and black, deeply and broadly emarginate on the outside. This sex also has the

second section of the costa thickened and there is a brown spot somewhat smaller than the stigmal spot

beneath where the first vein attains the costa. In as much as other species of Tachydromía have the

arista subterminal and the second vein recurved (e. g. enecator, Melander, incompleta, Becker) and the male

of Tacoma, which isa true Tachydromia, has similarly formed palpi, it is evident that the name Poneu-

tisca can not have even subgeneric standing. It may interest those entomologists who insist on using

the name Tachista for this group that Loew erected the genus PAoneutisca a year before he published

Tachista.

The species of Tachydromia are extremely agile, running about with quick TEES DUO, on

the ground, over stones, boards, grass, etc. They carry the wings flat over the back and rarely make

use of them in fiight. They are predatory and nimbly chase microdiptera for prey.

one specimen from Moscow Mountain, Idaho. The flies are to found running over the large boulders in the rivulets and

on the rocky cliffs close to the timber-line and have been taken on tents in camp at Paradise Park. The specific name is

suggested by the Indian name for the large snow-capped mountain which is the home of these flies.

front dull black, narrow, sides bulging around the ocelli, the eyes closer together on vertex than above antenne,

upper facets enlarged, face obliterated; occipital setae flat, scale-like, white; basal antennal joint whitish yellow, outer

joint short oval, dusky, arista nearly four times the antennal length; proboscis yellow, tipped with brown, palpi small,

circular, brown, bearing an extraordinary black seta which is nearly twice as long as the proboscis. "Thorax dull in color,

humeri very large and yellowish, remainder of thorax piceous, pleure lightly cinereous, propleurz shining, one strong

pair each of notopleurz, dorsocentral and scutellar bristles. Abdomen dull piceous, a little paler at base and apex, its

sparse short hairs black. Coxze and most of anterior legs yellow, last two joints of anterior tarsi black, hind femora yellow

on basal third, remainder black, hind tibie white, the distal third black, first two joints of hind tarsi white, the last three

black, hind metatarsus as long as remaining joints together. Wings narrow, infumated, the base, apex and a central spot

included between the third and fifth veins hyaline, crossveins meeting, third and fourth veins nearly parallel, sections of

fifth vein subequal ; halteres pale yellow.

A single specimen of this remarkable fly received from Pablo Schild, Turrialba, Costa Rica, November, 1922. The

species departs from the others in Tachydromia in having the thorax dull and the crossveins attingent.

(2 Tachydromia monacha, nov.sp. — Female. Length2 mm. Related to maculipennis, Walker, but entirely

black, including the root of the wings, the pedicel of the halteres and the base of the legs. Wings broader, the blackish

anterior cloud which stops along the middle of the first posterior cell coming exactly to the middle of the wing, — in

maculibennis the middle of the wing is a little closer to the third vein; the white pruinose spot above the front coxa

extending on the propleurze, — in maculipenuis it fills the pectus only. "The wings, aside from the blackish cloud, are

decidedly smoky, and not subhyaline as in maculifennis.

3. GENUS PIELTAINIA, ARIAS

Pieltainia, Arias, Bol. Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat. Vol. 19, p. 479 (1919).

Characters. — Entirely dull black, measuring less than three millimeters, the tarsi and

sometimes the knees alone paler. Proboscis vertical, palpi narrow; antennz porrect, the apical joint

acuminate and with terminal arista; eyes large, occupying the whole side of the head. Legs simple in

both sexes, slender, cursorial, the front femora slightly thelargest. Maleabdomen with blunttermination,

female abdomen pointed. Wings and halteres entirely wanting.

Genotype : P. iberia, Arias. This is the only Empid known that is entirely wingless In

several of the genera of this subfamily there is a tendency toward rudimentary wings, in some cases a

concomitant or possibly the reaction of the specialized cursorial habit, in other cases, e. g. the maritime

species, the result of persistent winds making flying dangerous. Even the coastal and cascadal species

with functional wings are loathe to fly. The present species was found in early spring actively running

about in pursuit of Sciaras and other microscopic Diptera on which it preyed.

5. GENUS TACHYEMPIS, NOV. GEN.

Characters. — Very small species, less than two millimeters in size, usually cinereous pollinose

on the pleurz as well as on the notum. Occiput flattened, without bristles; front broadly V-shaped,

its sides outwardly bowed ; ocelli variable in size, one pair of diverging ocellar bristles and usually in

front of them a pair of minute convergent setulz; one pair of vertical bristles, all the bristles small.

Eyes contiguous below the antennz obliterating the face and cheeks, bare, the lower facets large, the

emargination at the antennz: deep. Antenna short, two-jointed, without a seta beneath, the last joint

oval, with subterminal arista. Proboscis very short, vertical, the palpi variable in width, but typically

oval, densely hairy and white. Thoracic bristles variable, a double row of acrostichals may be present

or absent, one humeral, two notopleural, two or four scutellar bristles, Abdomen comprising seven

segments and the rather large pygidium, the segments usually with evident lateral pits. Legs simple,

not enlarged, short-pubescent, no spines, spurs or bristles on the tibiz, last tarsal joint and the pulvilli

small; the front femora are a little the stoutest. Wings hyaline or nearly so, the costa not fringed; basal

cells short, the posterior crossvein near the basal third of the wing but beyond the anterior crossvein,

second and third sections of the costa nearly equal.

Type species : T. agens, Melander.

The following North American species make a natural group with the exception of calva and

simplicior, which are aberrant in any of the genera. These species all possess pittings at the lateral

margins of the tergites of the abdomen and are more or less pollinose. Two African species with clear

wings, described by Dr. Bezzi as Tachista, appear to belong here.

Genotype : C. microphona, nov. sp.

'This genus in venation and general appearance suggests Chersodromia, but the legs lack the

characteristic bristles of that group. The specialized humeri suggest Tachyempis, but the approximation

of the crossveins preclude kinship to Tachyempis and its nearrelatives. t is regrettable that the male

has not been discovered. Two species are here recorded.

Coloboneura as verified by an examination of thetype. The species frequent the dry sands of the seashore,

over which they run with great agility but do not take readily to the wing although they are able to fly

well.

Characters. — Rather robust, opaque pollinose species, measuring from one to three milli-

meters. Head narrower than the thorax, globular, the occiput flattened hemispherical and rather finely

and sparsely setulose; eyes well separated on the front and face, the facets uniform, microscopically

hairy, cheeks about one-sixth the eye-height, but somewhat variable in width, clypeus quadrate,

pollinose; two pairs of verticals, one of diverging ocellar and one of converging preocellar bristles.

Proboscis conical, inflexed, one-half the head-height; palpi broadly oval, sparsely pubescent and with

an apical bristle. Antenna contiguous, apparently two-jointed as the first joint is rudimentary and

fused with the second, the third joint short oval, more or less pubescent, with a subdorsal process

forming a pedicel to the geniculate pubescent arista. Thorax opaque pollinose, setulose rather than

pubescent, usually with the following bristles prominent : one humeral, one posthumeral, three

notopleural, four dorsocentral, three supraalar, one postalar, two or four scutellar, but any of these may

be absent; pleurz largely pollinose, usually with a shining area on the lower part of the sternopleurz,

neither bristly nor hairy. Abdomen pollinose, consisting of seven segments plus the hypopygium,

which is large, deformed, twisted to the right and formed of various forcipate valves over a triangular

under-piece; the individual segments with lateral pittings. — Legs rather stout, setulose, the front femora

a little thickened, all the femora with a preapical bristle, hind tibiz with several series of bristles beyond

the middle, pulvilli large. Wings translucent and never hyaline, costa extending to the fourth vein,

first vein ending at the middle of the wing, the first section of the costa usually loosely ciliate and with

a strong basal bristle, second basal cell a little shorter than the first, no anal cell.

Type species : CA. arenaríia, Haliday, has smaller wings than usual, the wings scarcely

exceeding the abdomen. The species of Chersodromia frequent mainly the sandy seashore, but some

may occur on the shores of fresh water. The darker species seem to prefer the wet sand near the water's

edge; the gray species occur higher up on the dry sand and even run up and down the beach grass.

The developmental stages are unknown.

the eyes densely short-pubescent, enlarged below, obliterating the face, the lower facets large in both

sexes, hind margin of the eye curving forward below, front narrow, its sides parallel, ocellar bristles

small, two small vertical bristles present, cheeks narrow. ^ Antennz short, the first joint vestigial, the

second joint swollen, with setze beneath, the third joint very short and round, with a dorsal geniculate

arista, or rather, there is a short dorsal process arising from the third joint which bears the single-jointed

arista. Proboscis short, vertical, palpi slender, with a strong apical bristle. Thorax broadly round,

the dorsum moderately convex, shining or slightly pollinose in front, no discal bristles, but the hairs

seriately arranged to form two acrostichal and one dorsocentral rows, one humeral bristle present, two

notopleurals, no prescutellar, two scutellars; pleurze bare and shining, the metapleurz velvety. Abdomen

without pits, comprising eight segments; the pygidium large and forcipate. Legs short, the front pair

robust, in the males of come species the middle legs are ornamented and the hind legs are ciliate with

long bristles, middle femora with a preapical bristle, no tibial apical spines. Wings narrow, first and

second veins very short, third and fourth veins diverging, anal cell entirely wanting, costal bristle small.

Nomenclature. — Concluding his description of Tachydromia celeripes, Meigen stated that he

had received « mehrere Exemplare von Herrn von Winthem, unter dem Namen Agafachys flavipes.» This -

induced Coquillett to adopt the name Agafachys for this genus. The catalogues have considered

Agatachys as a manuscript name and as a synonym of Stilpon. While it is unfortunate that Loew

overlooked Meigen's celeripes and Winthem's generic name when he formed the genus S/ilfon, yet his.

name is so well known that is seems an unnecessary perversion of the rules to make Meigen the

unwitting sponsor of Agafachys in order to have it established.

The genus Tetrameurella of Dahl represents a curious form with reduced venation. Dahl now

believes that his specimens lacking the second vein are dimorphic individuals of graminum. The

American species, &l«urifica, here described, also lacks the second vein, but is certainly specifically

different from any of the other known species of Stifos. The short V-shaped front suggests Drafetis,

but the antennze are two-jointed and bear a dorsal arista, as in Stilpon. !

spines of the middle femora silky yellow and those of the middle tibize forming a uniform row along the distal three-fourths.

(2) Stilpon curvipes, nov.sp. — Male. Length 1i mm. Head, thorax and pygidium shining black; abdomen

testaceous ; legs including the coxe light yellow, the hind metatarsi and last tarsal joint darkened. Basal joint of the anten-

nz yellow, outer joint broken, mouthparts yellow, front cinereous almost to the ocelli. Hairs of the thorax coarse, pleurze

mostly shining; the inflated sides of the first abdominal segment black and pollinose. Pygidium rather large, pollinose

below, with a long slender apical process bearing four long hairs, the last abdominal segment fringed with long loose black

hairs. Middle femora with an interrupted flexor row of black thorn-like setule along the basal three-fifths and with a long

preapical bristle, middle tibize with a similar but double row along the outer half, hind femora with a strong lateral bend just

beyond the middle, before the bend with a row of extensor bristles, beyond it the extensor bristles are irregular, underneath

with a row of fourteen coarse bristles, of which eight are before the bend, hind tibia ciliate with twelve hairs along the

antero-extensor edge. Halteres black. "Wings narrowly oval, veins brown, very slightly bordered with brown, the second,

third and fourth sections of the costa proportioned 1 : o.8 : 0.6, fourth vein with a very slight anterior curvature, almost

straight, posterior crossvein oblique, forming an angle of fifty degrees with the fifth vein, sections of the fifth vein propor-

tioned o.8 : 1, marginal cilia two-thirds às long as the posterior crossvein.

306 DIPTERA

Characters. — Head globular, sometimes slightly longer than high, the occiput more or less

hemispherical; eyes large, bare, at most with scattered microscopic hairs, the facets of uniform size,

beneath the antennz the eyes of both sexes nearly touching, leaving the face linear or very narrow,

above the eyes the front is V-shaped, always broader than the face, sometimes the front is quite narrow;

three small ocelli present. Excision ofthe eyes at the level of the antenne very large; cheeks sometimes

entirely obliterated, usually about one-eighth the height of the eye, with the oral margin obliquely

descending posteriorly. Proboscis thick, rather sharply pointed, perpendicular or directed backward,

averaging one-half the height of the head, its labrum with prominent base and as long as the labium ;

palpi broadly oval, one-jointed, applied to the proboscis, the inside glabrous and shining, the outside

pollinose and with more or less evident recumbent pubescence, generally tipped with a longer seta.

Antennz inserted close together a little above the middle of the head, three-jointed, very rarely the basal

joint is wanting, the second joint with a circle of small setulz, the bottom hair of which is sometimes

long, the third joint compressed, varying from short oval, not longer than deep and with subterminal

arista, to lanceolate or conical, nearly twice as long as deep and with terminal arista; the arista usually

slender, nearly bare, two-jointed, its basal joint small, its outer joint two or three times as long as the

antennes, rarely the hairy coating is dense and longer so as to give a thickened appearance to the arista.

Occiput often with a pollinose band on the lower orbits including the cheeks excepting their lower

margin, usually with sparse short hairs, typically a pair of ocellar and one of vertical bristles present,

rarely two or three pairs of vertical and an additional pair of post-vertical bristles present, sometimes an

oral bristle on the back part of the cheeks. E

Thorax robust, polished, nearly bare to pubescent, dorsocentral bristles usually limited to a pair

of prescutellars, humeral and posthumeral bristles present or absent, notopleural bristles present but

variable, scutellum with two or four marginal bristles, the lateral ones always shorter; pleurz bare,

rarely with pollinose streaks following the sutures. Abdomen with eight segments, the first segment

laterally inflated, the fourth segment usually large and more heavily chitinized than the others, its sides

often pollinose and bearing scimiter-shaped, glistening setulze, the fifth segment short: pygidium varying

from small to large, closed to widely open, asymmetrical, the right side usually with a broad, curved,

furcate valve. Legs rather stout, the front femora a little the strongest, usually the anterior femora

with a basal flexor hair and with a preapical bristle on the outer side, the hind femora with one to three

preapical bristles on the anterior face, hind tibize with extensor bristles and more or less produced as an

apical tooth-like spur, the anterior tibize with a pair of apical bristles ; sometimes the legs are devoid

of all bristles; pulvilli broad; in those species with broad tibial spur the inside of the hind metatarsi

and of the end of the hind tibiz spongy pubescent.

Wings with anal angle more or less developed, except very rarely the first basal cell shorter than

the second which is always fused with the discal cell, ive simple longitudinal veins, anal cell completely

wanting, at most a short trace of the anal vein present toward the hind margin but the anal crossvein

always lacking, usually the entire margin of the wing uniformly short-ciliate, sometimes the hairs of the

first section of the costa ate longer, no stigma and no definite color pattern.

The species of Drafetis are included in the following subgenera :

I. SuBGENUS DRAPETIS, MEIGEN, S. STR.

Type species : Dr. exilis, Meigen. Rather small, bristleless, black species, with short antennce

directed somewhat upward, the second joint without a conspicuous seta beneath, the third joint oval,

with long, subterminal arista; legs without strong bristles, the hind tibiz without the terminal spur;

notum densely short-pubescent, the hairs appressed, no humeral or discal bristles; wings broad, costa

short-pubescent, third vein sometimes curved forward ; halteres usually black.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 307

'The genus Crossopalpus, Bigot, was founded on Platypalpus ambiguus, Macquart, which is regarded

as the same species as Drafetis flavipes, Macquart, and therefore it is synonymous with this subgenus.

2. SUBGENUS EUDRAPETIS, MELANDER

Type species : E. spectabilis, Melander (Pl. 4, Fig. 34). Robust, larger species, more or less

bristly and black; antenne longer, directed obliquely upward, the second joint with a pronounced seta

beneath, the third joint ovate to lanceolate, with a long terminal arista; femora with preapical bristles,

anterior tibiae with apical bristles and the hind ones with a more or less evident terminal spur and

usually with extensor or apical bristles; humeral, and sometimes discal bristles (e. g. posthumeral,

supraalar and anterior dorsocentrals) present ; wings broad, costa short-pubescent, third vein straight or

recurved ; halteres yellow.

3. SUBGcENUS ELAPHROPEZA, MACQUART

Type species : E. ephippiata, Fallen. Usually yellow, sometimes black species; antennae

elongate, horizontal, the second joint without seta beneath, the third joint lanceolate, two or more times

the length of the first two joints together, the terminal arista relatively short, sometimes no longer than

the antennze; abdomen broad, the middle segment with flattened setula; legs slender, the hind tibize

with extensor bristles and with a more or less evident terminal spur; wings narrower, the hairs of the

base of the costa longer than elsewhere.

4. SUBGENUS CTENODRAPETIS, BEzzi

Tyne species : C./. ciliatocosta, Bezzi. Body slender, elongate, usually yellow, the abdomen

longer than the thorax; antenne elongate, horizontal, the second joint without seta, the third joint

lanceolate with relatively coarsely pubescent terminal arista ; legs slender, with bristles and a long

terminal spur on the hind tibiz;; wings long, narrow, cuneate, the costal margin with long cilia.

* *

'The species of Drafetis are &stival and occur in meadowlands and among shrubbery. The

developmental stages are unknown. In the tropics yellow-colored species predominate, but in the

'Temperate Zone the general species are black and more robust. Here the species are found during the

spring and summer, sometimes swarming about flowers like wild cherry and plum, and sometimes

running about singly over grass and low shrubbery. A synopsis of the American species of Drafetis was

given by the writer in the June, 1918, issue of the « Annals of the Entomological Society of America ».

The preceding generic characterization is taken from this account.

Characters. — Usually robust, and with sturdy legs, the middle femora more or less incrassa-

ted and biseriately setulose or spinose beneath, the middle tibize shorter than their femora, raptorial,

uniseriately setulose beneath and terminating within in a more or less developed spur : in color usually

black though some species are testaceous. — Head globular, sometimes a little higher than broad, the

front broader than the face, but of variable breadth, sometimes with parallel sides sometimes diverging

above, cheeks linear; eyes reniform, facets uniform; palpi flat and broadly oval, appressed to the

proboscis, usually with one or two apical setze, the front side with short incumbent hairs, the inner side

glabrous; proboscis vertical, shorter than the head. — Antennz close together, located near the middle -

of the head, two- or three-jointed, the second joint globose, with a whorl of minute hairs, the third joint

compressed, varying from short ovate to subulate, slightly pubescent, and always with a terminal arista

which is closely but briefly pubescent. Ocelli three in number, placed on a low tubercle, one pair of

proclinate ocellar bristles, in back of which are sometimes a pair of minor setule; one or two pairs of

vertical bristles differentiated, the upper occipital setulze usually dark, the lower more abundant and

white, Thorax quadrate, the dorsum slightly convex, humeri rather distinct, thorax usually dusted,

typically with a shining glabrous space on the sterno-pleurz, sometimes the disk of the mesonotum

devoid of pollen and highly polished, rarely densely pubescent, usually with biseriate acrostichal setulge

and uniseriate dorsocentral and sparse lateral setulze, the hindmost dorsocentral setiform, chatotaxy

including one or two humeral bristles, one or several notopleural, one supraalar, one postalar, two or

four scutellar bristles, the lateral scutellars small. Abdomen with eight segments, shining, rarely with

pollinose fasciz or lateral markings, the subdorsal and lateral pittings sometimes evident though usually

not noticeable on the shining integument, hairs sparse but moderately long; ovipositor short, shining

or pollinose; pygidium more or less globular, asymmetrical, closed, comprising a spherical lower piece,

covered by a dorsal usually fringed valve. Legs without true bristles, but the middle femora sometimes

seriately setose along the postero-flexor face and less evidently so along the anterior surface, the front

femora with more or less developed biseriate flexor cilia, tibize without apical setze, last tarsal joint a

little flattened, tarsi unusually long in Cleftedromia. | Calypteres fringed with a few cilia; halteres never

black. Wings hyaline or nearly so, not pictured but sometimes clouded, tip of first vein and costa

between the first and third veins sometimes thickened, first vein ends beyond the middle of the wing,

third vein straight or recurved toward the fourth, crossveins approximate, usually when the crossveins

meet on the fourth vein the posterior crossvein is nearly transverse but when the posterior crossvein is

located beyond the anterior it is distinctly oblique, anal crossvein angularly projecting from the fifth

vein, the anal vein always faint but visible for more or less of its course, axillary lobe somewhat

developed but obtusely rounded.

FAM. EMPIDID/E : 317

Tyne species : P. cursilans, Fabricius (Pl. 4, Fig. 30), by designation of Westwood, Intro-

duction, Vol. 2, Synopsis, p. 132 (1840).

The species of this dominant genus are able to run and to fly well. —'T'he more pruinose species

are campestral and are found through the warmer summer months, the testaceous and the shining black

species are more fond of shady woods. The species are predatory, using their curiously formed middle

legs for holding their prey. "The larva of P. major, has been found in the ground under moss (Beling).

'The genus P/atypalbus, includes so many species that it has become unwieldy from a practical

viewpoint. Furthermore, in this assemblage there are species so diverse that if contrasting forms were

selected they would present differences striking enough to warrant a division of the genus. The pale

yellow species scarcely resemble the black ones; those with stout legs and strong tibial spur are unlike

the delicate forms with slender legs and no tibial spur. X Rondani attempted a segregation on the basis

of antennal structure, forming his genus P/Aoroxypha for those few species which have a short dark arista,

centering about /ougicornis. Bezzi, in 1899, formed two groups, one where the antennz are longer than

the head, the other where they are shorter. Frey,in 1907, based his primary divisions on the length

of the tibial spur. All of these characters, however, present too many gradations to have even subge-

neric value. Even Corti's recent subgenus, Cleptodromia, founded on an abnormal tarsal structure, is

scarcely more secure, although so far its solitary species presents a unique characterization.

In rg13, Brunetti described two related Indian genera of Empididz, Brevios and Howlettia,

locating them near Bicellaria, Later he supressed Brevios as a synonym of Platypalpus, but retained Ho-

leiiia as a genus of anomalous position, placing it provisionally in the Empidinz. In its description

Howlettia agrees with Platypalbus so completely that in view of the complexity of this dominant genus it is

here included asa synonym. The only distinctive character specified by Brunetti is the complete anal

cell and anal vein, and it may be that in the strength of the anal vein Howleftia presents a more archaic

condition than found in the other forms of P/atypalfus.

A discussion of the usage of the terms Platypalpus, Tachydromia and Coryneta has previously been

given by the writer in Psyche, Vol. 17, p. 41-48 (1910) and need not be repeated here. Briefly the case

isthis : Meigen described Tachydromia in 1803, citing cursitans and cimicoides. 1n 1827 Macquart segre-

gated the genus Platypalfus for cursitans and itsallies. Thus cimicoides becomes the only available type of

Tachydromia. | Coryneta is one of the aggravating genera of Meigen's 1800 paper. [t was erected, like

the others in this paper, without designation of type and, in our opinion, its genotype and its validity date

from H endel's interpretation in 1908.

subequal to the arista instead of about one-third as long. The anal crossvein is also more nearly perpendicular,

forming an angle of about 70 degrees with the fifth vein. The anal crossvein of imos is more reflexed, making

an angle of about 5o degrees.

(1) Platypalpus oriens, nov. sp. — Length 2.6 mm. "Very close to albíseta Panz. Body black, mesonotum

polished except narrowly along the sides; pleure uniformly pollinose except largely on the sternopleurz. Palpi yellow,

base of the proboscis reddish. Antenna elongate, the white arista longer than the antennz. Pygidium globular, more

rotund than in albíseta but terminating in a sharp claw, the dorsal valve hairy and with a blunt backward prolongation,

Legs yellow, the front femora with nearly uniform outstanding yellow hairs, front tibig without basal thickening.

Wings nearly hyaline, neuration as in albiseta,

Several specimens, Tjibodas, Mt. Gede, 4,500 to 9,000 feet altitude, Java, from the Bryant and Palmer

collection in the U. S. National Museum, The entirely pruinose mesopleurz, lack of prominent central bristles of the

front femora, the yellow palpi and blunt process of the dorsal valve are distinguishing characters, which differ from

those of albíseta. In that species the dorsal valve is not hairy and is projected backward as along acuminate process,

P. subulifer Meijere is also closely related but has the arista equal to the antenna, the base of the front tibia swollen,

spindle-like, the proboscis black and the legs brown.

EXTINCT EMPIDIDZE :

FOSSIL SPECIES AND GENERA

All the described fossil Empidida come from the Tertiary. Some more recent species

of Empis and Rhamphomyia are known from copal, but have not been described. Two pre-Tertiary

species have beeri assigned to the Empididz, namely Empidia Wulpii and Hasmona Leo, but itis not

at all certain that they belong to this family. The Baltic amber has produced a great number of

specimens of Empididz; Meunier called attention to fifteen hundred inclusions that he had studied ;

but the descriptions and figures too often miss the salient characters to be of much value in deciphering

phylogeny.

produce living species without causing astonishment. The following notes show the status of the

It may be stated that the Tertiary Empididz almost all belong to genera of the present

extinct genera, which have been assigned to this family.

yellowish. Abdomen shining, the last two small segments opaque yellow, styles of the ovipositor long and narrow.

Legs robust, front femora thickened, with two flexor rows of pale short, sparse hairs, front tibiae outwardly ciliate on

the apical half with black setze and closely biseriately black-setulose beneath, patella and tibial spur black, middle

tibia two-thirds as long as their femora, tarsi uniformly blackish apically. Halteres yellow. Wings hyaline, veins

firm and black, first vein ending at the middle of the wing, second, third and fourth sections of the costa proportioned

I. GeNus BURMITEMPIS, COCKERELL

Burmitempis, Cockerell, Amer. Journ. Sc. Vol. 44. p 367 (1917).

Characters. — Head broad, dichoptic, third antennal joint very large, oblong-oval, hairy;

with very long simple arista; wings large and broad, first basal cell long, emitting three veins from apex,

and one from lower side, second posterior cell somewhat contracted apically, no discal cell, second

basal small, narrow and nearly vertical, anal cell large and apically truncate, anal angle of wing

rectangular; halteres enormous, with long thick knob; legs long, ordinary; genitalia small and simple.

Dr. Cockerell located this genus in the Empididz, apparently nearest to Microsamia, but

suggestive of the Tachydromiinz in some of its characters, — The removal of Microsania to the

Platypezidae may carry with it this genus. If the vein arising from the lower side of the first basal cell

is the anterior branch of the media and the lower outer side of the basal the long and longitudinally

placed anterior crossvein then the homologies of the neuration are clear though strangely aberrent. 1f,

however, the small vein at the apex of the first basal cell is the anterior crossvein then the radius has

two branches and the media three, a condition not in conformity with expectations among the Diptera.

From the data at hand the systematic position of this fossil can not be definitely stated,

Drapetiella, Meunier, Ann. Sc. Nat. (Zool.) 9 ser. Vol. 7, p. 86, note 3, p. 97 (1908).

Characters. — This genus was located with Drafetis, differing by the ovate style-bearing third

joint of the antennze and the greatly inclined second basal cell. Asa short style is anomalous in the

entire subfamily Tachydromiinz and as the figure shows an impossible veination this genus is far from

being certain. 1t possibly is an Ocydromiinz, with open discal cell, such as is shown by Eufhyneura

aferta to-day.

Characters. — Resembling Bicellaría, but with lengthened arista, slender tibie and tarsi, no

intercalary vein, and with the fork of second and third veins much before anterior crossvein. — Thorax

gibbous, finely hairy; discal cell open but with a slight bend in fourth vein at two-fifths of its last

6. GENUS HASMONA, GIEBEL

Hasmona, Giebel. Ins. Vorwelt, p. 209 (1856).

Characters. — This species is apparently Nematocerous, according to Handlirsch. The

distinctive feature of the genus is the neuration which Giebel states is unlike that of living Empids.

There is a strong simple vein extending parallel to the costa to the wing-tip, followed by three simple

veins united before the middle by an oblique crossvein. The insect measures two millimeters.

Meghyperella, Meunier, Ann. Sc. Nat. (Zool.) 9 ser. Vol. 7. p. 112 (1908).

Characters. — Antennz three-jointed, the last joint conical, a little longer than its distinct

arista. Wings rather broad and pointed, the discal cell emitting two posterior veins, the intercalary

absent. The genus is apparently related to Leftofesa, differing in the possession of a more generalized

arista. It may bea predecessor of Stenofroctus.

9. GENUS MESOMYITES, COCKERELL

Mesomyites, Cockerell, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. Vol. 52, p. 377 (1917).

Characters. — Mesomyites was originally described as a new genus of the Empididz, and the

small size, slender wing and general features of the neuration are suggestive of the Clinoceratinz.

However, the second basal cell emits a vein parallel with the discal cell, the second branch of the cubitus.

Thus the anal cell is widely open, an impossible condition among the Brachycera. Dr. Cockerell,

in Nature, Vol. 103, p. 44 (1919), has referred his genus to the anomalous tipulid genus Síyriugomyia.

The species on which Mesomyites was based is the following.

Ast der schulterader sich gabelt; beide Aeste sind dann spáüter durch eine Querader verbunden, von

welcher der gewóhnliche Zwischenlüngsast ausgeht. Auch die innere Mittelader entspringt nicht

unmittelbar am Grunde, sondern von einer feinen Querader neben diesem. Sie biegt sich vor der

Mitte zum Innenrande und sendet an der Biegungsstelle die kleine Querader zum innersten Ast der

GENERA REMOVED FROM THE EMPIDID.E (1).

The following genera have been held by various authors as belonging to the Empididz. The

resemblances to members of this family have proved to be superficial and the genera have one by one

been removed to other families. The forms here placed in the Bombyliidz are highly specialized in that

family, with neuration reduced in accompaniment with their small size. "They can hardly be regarded

as annectent forms, linking the Bombyliide with the Empidide. because they are more highly

specialized in other respects than the Hybotinz with which they connect. "Their resemblances therefore

are to be regarded as parallel developments. The status of the genera in question is given herewith.

Characters. — The species of Mícrosanía look much like Bicellaría with which genus a Mh

inflexed hypopygium and a single median row of acrostichal hairs. The costa is setulose and is inter- -

middle tibiz: possess apical bristles. |

'T'he genus belongs to the Platypezid:e, as discussed by the writer in Psyche jor April Todo. :

being closely related to Ofetia and Platycenema, Loew recognized the Platypezid relationships when he

described one of the American species as Plalycuema imperfecla, — The other European writers have all |

located Microsania with the Empidid:z. | Almost none of the Empidid:e are common to both Europe -

and North America, but two of the three species of Microsazia occur on both continents.

Characters. — Becker, in 1907, described Malthacotricha glauca as a new genus of Empidide,

locating it in the Hybotinz because of the lengthened anal cell and the horizontal proboscis, even though

the insect has the third vein forked and the discal cell emitting three posterior veins. Later, in 1913,

Becker assigned his genus to the Bombyliidze as synonymous with the older Heterotropus Loew. The

genus occurs in Central and Western Asia, with two known species. Apparently it is closely related to

the American Prorates Melander, which see on the following page.

Characters. — Coquillett erected the genus My/Ahicomyia in 1893, placing it in the Empididz.

Since that time the group has been shifted here and there by various writers. Aldrich and Kertész,

in their respective catalogs. placed it in the Leptidz, the writer in 1902, then unacquainted with

specimens, left it in the Empididz but segregated it in a subfamily, the M ythicomyiinz, Cresson

located it in the Empididz, and Williston and Greene probably in the Bombyliidz.

Mythicomyia is represented by eight described species, restricted to the Western United States,

where the minute flies are found hovering over bush-flowers, such as ocean spray. In addition,

Heterhybos hyalinibennis Brethes was described as a new genus of Empididz from Rio Blanco. South

America. This genus is completely synonymous with Mythicomyia. These species are closely related

to the European Glabellula Bezzi, 1902, redescribed by Greene, 1924, as Pachyneres, and. belong to the

subfamily Cyrtosiinze of the Bombyliidz, as defined by Becker, Ann. Mus. Zool. Acad. Sc. St. Pétersb.

Vol. 17, p. 472 (1913). Glabellula has the second basal cell fused with the discal cell and the femora more

or less enlarged. In MytAicomyia the discal cell is complete, the two basals weakly separated and the

femora. are slender.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 377

Type species ; P. claripennis, Melander, the only species known. Many specimens of this

Insect were taken by Mr. H. L. Viereck in r9o2 at Alamogordo, New Mexico, at which time and

place he took also the two species of the recently described genus Cenoetus Cole. Cenotus, which is

strikingly like Prorates, although generically quite distinct, was assigned by Cole to the Therevidz,

in which family it is aberrant in lacking the « small crossvein » at the apex of the second basal cell and

in being bristleless.

Prorates has been regarded asa primitive but anomalous Empid. . Judging by the structure of its

proboscis it probably is anthophilous. In appearance it suggests a minute Therevid or Bombyliid with

reduced neuration, or a Scenopinid. According to existing tabulations to the families of Diptera the

species would be located in the Empididz in the subfamily Hybotina. From all the members of

this group, however, it departs in having the costa stopping at the third vein, the auxiliary vein distinct

and ending in the costa, the antennal style microscopic, and the mesopleure furnished with some

pubescence.

Meghyperus, which is more clearly Hybotine than Prorates is, shows many parallel characters,

such as the distinct though evanescent auxiliary vein, presence of alula, dichopticism of female, and

bristleless legs. These important characters, all at variance with other Hybotinz, perhaps indicate

primitive traits retained from a common ancestor, but more likely are the result of a parallel evolution

among insects having similar flower-frequenting habits.

It is not yet time to remove MegAyferus from the Hybotinz, but Prorates may properly be

placed in the Bombyliide, where with Ma//Zacotricha (— Heterotropus) and also with Cemotus it will

comprise the subfamily Heterotropine. The three genera may be separated as follows :

Oldenberg, 1924, published the results of an examination of von Roser's collection, which alters

the nomenclature of various species, as follows :

Hilara albiveniris Roser is not /Aeferogasira Nowicki, but is the species later described by Wood as

albocingulata.

Hilara ferruginea Roser (nom. nudum) is £Aoracica Macquart, which is stated to be the same as /fava

Schiner.

Hilara geniculata Roser becomes litorea Fallen.

Hilara albitarsis Roser is the same as Braueri Strobl.

Hilara albipennis Roser is the same as niveipbennis Zetterstedt, which it antedates.

Empis sallens Roser is not equalis Loew, but is farvula Egger, which it antedates.

384 DIPTERA

Bicellaria aterrima Roser in part is probably sPuria Fallen, and in part is Aelestus julicarius Fallen, of

the Platypezidz.

Bicellaria tibialis Roser is Atelestus Pulicarius Fallen.

Drapetis bygmza Roser is not assimilis Fallen, but is probably pusilla Loew.

Tachydromia nigromaculata Roser becomes Drapetis (Elaphropeza) ephippiata Fallen.

Tachypesa costalis Roser belongs to the genus Tachydromia (Tachista).

Tachyfesa brevipennis Roser belongs to Tachydromia, and is the same as the later-described microptera Loew.

Tachypeza obscura Roser is not W'inthemi Zetterstedt, but belongs to PlatyalPus, being synonymous with

leucocheta Becker.

Platypalpus ruficornis Roser is the same as (Aoracicus Lundbeck.

Collin, in the Entomologists' Monthly Magazine, 1926-1927. is issuing a cursory review of British —

Empididz, which contains many changes in nomenclature, largely the result of examinations of the type 3

collections of Fallen, Meigen, Zetterstedt, Curtis, Walkerand Lundbeck. Collin's review is presumably

not completed at the time the final proofs of this fascicle are being returned, so the student of this family

is referred to forthcoming issues of the magazine for notes on the subfamilies Clinoceratinae and

Hybotinze. A summary of Collin's findings so far as published is presented herewith :

Platypalpus ambiguus Macquart, on which Bigot founded the genus Crossojalfus, is the same species as ^

Drapetis flexuosa Loew, instead of being Drajetis flavipes Macquart, as generally supposed. The

subgenus Eudrafetis, Melander, therefore, falls into synonymy with CrossoPalPus as a subgenus

- of Drafetis.

Drafetis (Crossopalpus) curvibes Meigen is not assimilis Fallen, but includes aterrima Curtis, nigra Fallen and

Zetterstedt, but not Meigen, moriella Zetterstedt, Picibes Zetterstedt and setigera Lundbeck, but —

not Loew. E

Drajetis (Crossopalbus) nigritella Zetterstedt is not aterríma Curtis, but includes aferrima Lundbeck and

nervosa Loew.

Drafetis (Crossopalbus) minima Meigen is a valid species, not the same as assimilis Fallen, but minima

Zetterstedt is assimilis Fallen, as is also exilis Zetterstedt of the Insecta Lapponica.

Drafetis exilis Meigen includes fusilla Loew and the female of migrifes Zetterstedt.

Platypalpus minutus Meigen is the same as exiguus Meigen, but the exiguus of the British lists is miger

Meigen.

Platyfalpus fasciatss Lundbeck, not Meigen, is cursitans Fabricius, and cursitans Lundbeck is /aticinctus

Walker.

Platypalpus glaber Meigen is the same as /uteus Meigen.

Platypalpus infuscatus Meigen becomes annulipes Meigen.

Platypalpus ecalceatus Zetterstedt is a valid species, larger than calceatus Meigen.

Bicellaria melena Haliday is synonymous with spuria Fallen, but sulcata Zetterstedt is distinct from spuria

Fallen.

CEdalea pallipes Zetterstedt is transferred to the genus T»richina.

Euthyneura Myrtilli Macquart includes consobriua Zetterstedt and rostrata Zetterstedt, which were placed

in Anthepiscopus, antea, p. 107.

Microphorus crassibes Macquart is distinct from anomaius Meigen.

Rhamphomyia sulcata Meigen, rugicollis Meigen, and fropinqua Meijere are the same.

Empis barbata Macquart is a. Rhamphomyia, and is the same as bicolor Macquart 1823, not 1827, and

pennata Macquart.

Rhamphomyia plumifes Frey, Zetterstedt, Lundbeck, etc., is geniculata Meigen.

FAM. EMPIDID/E 385

Rhamphomyia ethiobs Zetterstedt is distinct from caudata Zetterstedt, but longestylata Frey is the same as

caudata Zetterstedt.

Rhamphomyia attenuata Frey is ignobilis Zetterstedt.

Rhamfhomyia villosa Zetterstedt, morio Zetterstedt, and fumipennis Zetterstedt are one species.

Empis vernalis of Meigen, Zetterstedt, etc. is Pennaría Fallen, but the feunaria of the British lists is suntía

Meigen.

Empis (Pachymeria) $icipes Meigen includes brevicornis Loew and maculifes Zetterstedt.

Empis (Pachymeria) scotica Curtis (1824) is the same as falparis Egger (1860).

Empis (Pachymeria) Erberi Nowicki becomes tumida Meigen.

Emfis lamellicornis cy described by Lundbeck is gymnopoda Bezzi.

Emfis dasythrix Meijere is jlumipes Zetterstedt, as is also decora of Lundbeck.

Emfis confluens Becker is albipennis Meigen.

Hilara lasiopyga Lundbeck is manicata Meigen.

Hilara carinthiaca Becker is fuscipes Fabricius.

Hilara intermedia Fallen is not the same as /uscifes Fabricius, but is the species generally known as

Bubipes Loew.

Hüilara pinetorum Zetterstedt is clypeata Meigen.

Hilara bivittata Strobl becomes /longevittata Zetterstedt.

Hilara galactopiera Strobl is a distinct species from fseudosaririx Strobl.

Chelifera melanocephala Haliday (1833) and Mik is the same as frafezina Zetterstedt (1838), but Lundbeck's

melanocephala is flavella Zetterstedt.

Hemerodromia albicornis of Gercke, and possibly of Walker, is raptoria Meigen.
