Brues, C. T.: Some new exotic Phoridae
some new exotic phorid.e. 401 bristles closer to the median ones than to the eye-margin ; two upper rows of four equidistant ones each. Space about ocelli blackened. Antennae small, rounded, arista nearly bare, black except at base. Palpi small, bristly only at the tips, the bristles rather weak. Proboscis stout, porrect and very heavily chitinized, but slender and not enlarged at the tip. Cheeks bare except for two strong macrochaetae. Postocular cilia strong except near the ocelli. Dorsum of thorax sub-shining, yellowisli-brown anteriorly, shading to piceous behind and on the scutellum which is about four times as wide as long. A single pair of dorsocentral bristles and two marginal scutellar bristles. Abdomen opaque, without bristles or hairs. Pleurae pale yellow, without spots and entirely bare. Legs moderately slender, front tibiae with a series of four nearly equidistant small bristles along the outer edge, middle ones with a pair at the basal third on the outer side and a single one just before the tip; posterior pair with a series of five or six bristles on the posterior edge; posterior metatarsus two-thirds as long as the tibia and bristly below, not broadened. Wings hyaline, with a slight yellowish tinge, veins testaceous except the costal which is piceous. Costa extending far beyond the middle of the wing, its bristles extremely line and short but thickly placed. Mediastinal vein entirely wanting, and humeral cross-vein very weak. First vein ending two-thirds of the way from the humeral cross-vein to the tip of the third vein, the furcation of the third vein very oblique, the branches nearly parallel and meeting the costa very close together; fourth vein weakly and evenly curved, fifth almost straight, ending nearer to the wing tip than the fourth; sixth nearly straight; seventh weak but distinct, much curved and close to the wing margin. Halteres pale clear yellow. Two females, Paraguay: Asuncion ( V EZÉNYI 1905, and ANISITS 1904, 1X-X.). On account of its elongated proboscis, the series of four bristles on the fore tibiae, and the similar series of six on the hind tibiae, this species comes in the group Dorniphora D AHL , which also includes Ph. papuano BRUES, Ph. incisuralis LOEW, Ph. Dohniii D AHL, Ph. ilivaricata ALDRICH and Ph. perplexa BRUES. From the first it may be distinguished by the series of five bristles on the hind tibiae, from the second by the fact that these bristles are placed along the outer edge. In Ph. ineisuralis they are on the side near the inner edge; in the other three species the tibiae are bare, Annates Mnsei Xationalis Hunqarici 26 \
