Characters. — Small to minute insects, infesting plants, the immature stages scale like, the adults of both sexes winged, active, powdered with white. In adults. head small, convex above, rounded anteriorly; e5'es reniform, « dumb-bell » shape, or completely divided; a single ocellus above each eye. Antennae 7-jointed, basal joint short and cup-shaped; second larger, globose or subpyriform ; joints 3 to 7 slender and numerously ringed, joint 3 longest. Rostrum of a single segment. Mentum long, free, 3-jointed. inclosing the rostral setae. Thoracic segments aboLit equally distinet, the prothorax smallest. Each sex with two pairs of wings, rounded distally, and serrate or « beaded « all around, each serrulation with a few minute hairs. Whngs with but a single median vein; a single basal branch in fore wing in Aleyrodes, a basal and distal branch in fore and hind wings in Aleitrodicus, and in Aleiirochiion there is a basal and a distal branch in fore wings, the vein of the hind wing being unbranched. Legs long, slender, with dimerous tarsi, ending in 2 claws, and a Central process. Abdomen somewhat pedunculate, especially in males, roundly tapering or ovoid, in females ending in conical ovipositor. In male abdomen more slender, ending in forcipate genitalia, composed of two valves, and the Central, curved, penis. On dorsum of last abdominal segment of each sex, is the so-called « vasiform orifice, » comprising the orifice, the operculum, and the lingiTla. General color of body yellow, often with dusk)^ markings, but all more or less obscured with the powdery dusting of white wax. Immature stages elliptical, oval or rounded in shape, quiescent except in first larval, occurring mostly on lower, less usualh^ on upper surface of leaves, to which they are attached by sucking mouth- (1) Archief Java Suikerindustrie. 14, p. 939 (1896); Vol. 7, p. 44.S and 459.

In earlier stages, mostly flat, in pupating becoming more convex or in some species raised on a beautiful palisade ali around of white wax. Pupa case usually with spines or hairs though some of these are often obscure. There is usually more or less of wax}' secretion from a marginal rim ofwax tubes and often also from dorsum of case, in the shape of rods, or asbestiform, powdeiy, wooly or flocculent wax, usually of characteristic pattern. and sometimes so copious as to cover the insect. A distinctly Ale3 rodid character in the larval and pupal stages is the presence on the dorsum of last abdominal segrnent of a rounded, ovoid or semielliptical opening. the « vasiform orifice », consisting, as stated for the adult, of the orifice, operculum, and lingula. This is the excretory opening, and from the lingula a sweetish fluid is voided. These structures vary much with difieient species and consequently furnish valuable diagnostic characters. Eggs are ellipsoidal. often curved, or flatteneil on one side,attached firmly to leaf with a short stalk; surface either smooth, or showing minute polygonal markings.

Pupa case without compound pores, and lingula usually not prominently protruding from vasiform vein orifice as in Aleurodicus. Geographical distributior of species. — The genus Aleyrodes is cosmopolitan, and a few species are becoming widely distributed. transported no doubt from one country to another on their food plants, as in the case of species of Coccidce. Conditions are much less lavorable for their dissemina- tion, however, since Aleyrodids infest exclusively the leaves of plants which in most cases are largely, if not entirely, removed before shipment. Aleyrodes vaporariorum , Westwood occurs rather generally over Europe and America, and is recorded from Hawaii; A. citri, abundant in the Southern United States, occurs also in California, Cuba, Mexico. Brazil, China and possibly Chile. Careful investigation would probably show that some of the species infesting economic plants are much more widely distributed than is at present known to be the case. rhe great majority of species are yet known only from the country from whence described, though in some instances they have evidently been there introduced, their nativity, however, being at (i) Greek, aleuron, floury or mealy. The name of tl.e genus, originally spelled by Latreille Aleyrodes, was later spelled Aleurodes, following apparently a note by Burmeister iHandb. Fnt. Vol. 2, p. 82, i835, « Latreille's Orthographie Aleyrodes muss in Aletirodes verwandelt werden ». who, however, presented no reason for this change, and which seems to have been unwarranted. Also, writers on this genus have not been agreed as to the gender of Aleyrodes and there is consequently lack of uniformity in case ending of specific names. In this list, the original orthography is preserved. FAM. ALEYRODIDAi 5 present unknown. Including native and introduced species, the number recorded from the several regions is as follows : Australasian region, 21; Aethiopian region, 2; Oriental region, i5; Palaeartic region, 32; Neartic region, 53; Neotropical region. i3; Unattached region. 5.

Zahlreiche Einzelbeschreibungen von Gestro. \V a t e r li o u se , etc. Geographische Verbreitung. — Die geographische Verbreitung der Subfamilie ist leicht aus den Tabellen zn ersehen, die jedem Tribus beigefiigt sind. Den Hauptreichtum und Entwicklung in Grosse und Farbenzeichnung entfaltet sie im tropischen Amerika (fast das doppelte der ganzen ribrigen Erde), dann folgt Indien mit den Inseln, gleich ein Drittel von tropisch Amerika, die Palaarctische Zone (Euro})a bis Japan), die Flalfte der Indischen Zone, Afrika nur ein Zehntel von tropisch Amerika, zuletzt Australien und Nord-Amerika. Der Catal. Coi. Enrop. et Cauc. ftihrt nur 35 Arten an, die sicli liber 9 Genera verteilen. Der 'Fribus der echten Erotylini bewohnt nur tropisch Amerika (exci. Aulalochilus und Satelia). die Triplacini liber die Halfte der Arten tropisch Amerika, wiihrend von den Dacnini noch nicht ein Flinfundzwanzigstel in tropisch Amerika vorkommen. Die Encaustini sind reine tropisch Asiaten (nebst Inseln). Nur Dacnini und Triplacini haben Afrikaner. Biologie. — Die Kafer leben in Pilzen, besonders Baumschwammen, und von Pflanzenabiallen, haben auch den Geruch, der flir andere Pilzbewohner so charakteristisch ist. Die Larven derbisherbekanntenvvenigen Arten sind langgestreckt mit giosstenteils weichhautigem Korper. Die Flihler sind dreigliedrig mit kleinem Anhangsgliede unter der Wurzel des Endgliedes. Die Kiefertaster sind dreigliedrig, Lippentaster zweigliedrig. Das Analsegment dient ais Nachschieber. Die Beine sind ziemlich kurz, deutlich flinfgliedrig. Die Verpuppung erfolgt in der Erde. SUBFAM. EROTYLIN^ Allgemeine Charaktere. — Der Korper ist in Form und Grosse sehr variabel. von gestreckter Gestalt bis kreisrund, plattgedriickt bis hockerig, von i bis iiber 3o mm. Lange. Meist ist die Form oval und convex. Die meisten Arten sind durch Binden oder Fleckenzeichnung, manche auch durch metal- lischen Glanz ausgezeichnet. Die Oberseite ist mit wenigen Ausnahmen kahl. Die Augen sind rundlich oder oblong, inanchmal sehr gros i^Ischyrus), bei einigen auch sehr klein (Homoiotelus). Die Facettirung der Augen ist entvveder fein oder grob und bildet ein Unterschei- dungsmerkmal der Genera, jedoch finden sich nicht selten Uebergange, dass es schwer wird die Art der Facettirung festzustellen. Die unteren Wangenecken springen oft zahnartig vor. Im allgemeinen ist der Kopf klein bis massig gross, oval oder quer, meist oben convex und ohne Eindriicke, nur bei einigen kleinen Arten ausgehohlt [Brackyspkaeiiiis) oder sogar mit einem Scheitelhorne bewaffnet (Typocephahts). Vor den Augen is der Kopf in das sogenannte Rostrum ausgezogen, das teils nach vorn verschmalert (keilformig) oder viereckig mit parallelen Seiten ist; im letzterem Falle entsteht oft durch das engere Zusammenriicken der Fiihlergruben eine Einschniirung an der Basis, die fiir viele Genera ausserst charakteristisch ist (Homoiotelus, Zonarius, etc.). Der Clypeus ist fast immer vorn rechtwinklig oder nur leicht bogig, nur bei Pselapharus ist er tief viereckig ausgeschnitten, nach Art mancher Cetoniden. Die Oberlippe tritt fast immer etwas hervor, sie ist quer und ihre Rander sind mehr oder weniger hautig und bewimpert. Die Oberkiefer sind sehr einformig gebildet, stets sind sie kurz und kraftig und ganz oder doch giosstenteils durch die Oberlippe verdeckt; die Spitze hat zwei Zahne, von denen der obere fast immer kleiner ais der untere ist; an der Basis nach innen sind die Oberkiefer in eine quergeriefte Mahlflache erweitert. vor welcher sich ein meist bewimperter Hautsaum befindet. Die Unterkiefer haben stets zwei Laden. Die Aussenlade ist fast immer dreieckig, nur bei einigen Gattungen, z. B. Dacne, Tnplax, Encaustes, ist dieselbe schlank, an der Basis eingeschnurt und keulen- formig. Die Innenlade, welche bei den einen gerade, bei anderen etwas nach innen gebogen oder am Ende aufgeblasen ist, tragt an der Spitze entweder einen einfachen oder doppelten Hornhaken oder ist ganz ohne einen solchen; dies gewahrt ein vortreffliches Mittel zur generischen- und Gruppen-Eintei- lung Die grosse Alasse (besonders Amerikaner) hat ein oder meist zwei Haken (Encaustini, Erotylini), welche sehr lang und spitz (Erotylus, Aiilacochilus') oder sehr kurz und stumpf i^Aegithus) sein konnen. Die Kiefertaster sind kurz and bestehen aus vier Gliedern. Das erste Glied ist langlich, etwas gekrummt mit verdickter Spitze; die beiden nachsten Glieder sind sehr kurz, grosser ais das erste; das vierte Glied ist sehr gross, von ausserst variabeler Form, bald beilformig oder quer dreieckig. bald halbmondtormig und so quer, dass die Breite uin das vier- bis frinffache die Lange iibertrifft {Psela- FAM. EROTYLID^ 5 phacus)-, sehr selten ist das Endglied nur eiformig, z. B. Combocerus, Coptengis, Triplatoma. Nach Lacor- daire soli die Grosse des Endgliedes der Kiefertaster im umgekehrten Verhaltnisse zur Grosse des vierten Tarsengliedes stehen {Mon. Erotyl. p. ii [1842]). Das Kinn, das immer hornartig und vom Basisstiick durch eine Naht getrennt ist, bei Cyrtomorphus sogar auf einem Stiele sitzt, ist im allgemeinen schmal und zeigt zahlreiche Formenverschiedenheiten, die fiir viele Gattungen sehr bemerkenswert sind. Sehr oft sind die Vorderecken tiefer eingesenkt, oder das Kinn besteht aus einem freiliegendem Mittelfelde und zwei eingesenkten Seitenpartien. Oft springt das Mittelfeld mit die Seitenteilen zahnartig vor auch kann das Mittelfeld mit den Seitenteilen eine dreieckige Pyramide bilden {Encaustes). Die Zunge ist kurz und sehr variabel, Nebenzungen sind sehr oft vorhanden {Triplax). Die Eippentaster, die immer kleiner (exci. Oocyajius) ais die Kiefertaster sind, sind an der Basis der Zunge auf einer kleinen Erhohung eingefiigt, dreigliedrig, mit ebenso variabelem Endgliede wie die Kiefertaster; beide stimmen in der Form nicht immer iiberein, z B. ist das Kiefertasterendglied oval, das Lippentasterendglied beilformig bei Triplatoma, Episcapha und umgekehrt bei Pselaphacus, Tritoma, Mycotretiis. Bei beiden eiformig ist es nur bei Dacne, Thallis und Verwandte. Sonst ist das Lippentasterendglied noch eiformig bei Amblyopiis, Cyrtomorphus, Trichulus (und Verwandte). Die Ftihler sind elfgliedrig (bei Brachylon sollen sie zehngliedrig sein ) und stehen meist unmittelbar vor den Augen, mit manchmal kleiner Ftihlergrube zum Einlegen der ersten Fiihlerglieder [Episcapha, Encaustes), oder an den Stirnseiten ein wenig vor den Augen [Honioioiehts) eingefiigt. Die Fiihlerkeule ist meist dreigliedrig und scharf abgesetzt [Dacne) oder weniger scharf abgesetzt und dann meist vierglie- drig [Scaphidomorphiis, Priotehis), sehr selten nur zweigliedrig [Pseiidodacne, Diphyllus). Die Lange des dritten Gliedes ist oft ein gutes Art- oder selbst Gattungsmerkmal [Episcapha und Episcaphula). Die Fiihlerlange ist sehr verschieden, von kurz und dick [Dacne) bis schlank und halber Korperlange [Homoio- ielus, Priotehis). Der Prothorax ist von verschiedener Form und schliesst sich eng den Flxigeldecken an. Meist ist er breiter ais lang, nach vorn mehr oder weniger verschmalert (sehr stark bei PLomoioteliis, Dichoniorpha), selten gleichmassig viereckig mit geraden Seiten [Triplatoma, etc.). Das Schildchen ist immer deutlich, bei einigen Lyhas wird es durch den Halsschildbasislappen verdeckt, meist ist es klein, dreieckig, selten grosser und langlich [Zonarius). Das Prosternum ist gekielt oder nicht und vor den Vorderhtiften bald langer, bald kiirzer, von den umgeschlagenen Seiten stets durch deutliche Nahte gesondert. Der Prosternalfortsatz ist bald breiter, bald schmaler. Die vorderen Hiifthbhlen sind stets geschlossen (bei den Languriinae hinten offen). Die Epimeren der Mittelbrust sind stets von der Begrenzung der mittleren Htifthohlen ausgeschlossen (Unterschied des Erotyliden von den Silvaninen). Das Metasternum ist der Lange nach sehr variabel. Die Episternen der Hinterbrust sind vorn schrag abgestutzt. Die Epimeren der Hinterbrust sind durch eine Naht deutlich von der Spitze der Episternen gesondert, nur bei den Diphyllini und Xenoscelini nicht. Das Abdomen, aus fiinf Ventralsegmenten bestehend, wird stets von den Fliigeldecken bedeckt. Das erste Segment ist etwas grosser ais die iibrigen, das letzte ist gerundet. Die Fliigeldecken bilden an den Seiten einen horizontalen Rand. Die grosse Mehrzahl der xA.rten hat punktstreifige Fliigeldecken, deren Reihen oft paarig stehen. Auch unregelmassige Punktirung mit schwarzen Punkten kommt vor [Cypherotylus) und runzlige Punktirung [Homoiotelus-Kxten). Die Epipleuren der Fliigeldeken sind oft sehr entwickelt [Aegithus), flach, convex oder concav. Die hautigen Fliigel unter den Fliigeldecken sind kurz, mit starker Aderung. Die Faltung befindet sich im letzten Viertel der Lange. Das Geader zeigt betrachtliche Verschiedenheiten. 6 COLEOPTERA Die Vorder- und jMittelhiiften sind meist kugelig, die Hinterhiiften quer. Der Trochantinus ist nie frei. Die Huften stehen meist gleichweit von einander entfernt. Die Beine sind bei beiden Geschlechtern fiinfgliedrig, jedoch ist das vierte Glied meist sehr klein, mit dem Klauengliede fest verbunden und wird von einer Aushohlung des dritten Gliedes an der Oberseite aufgenommen; selten sind die vier ei'sten Glieder gleichlang [Dacne), oder das vierte klein und freiliegend {Diphyllini) . Die Lange der Beine und ihre Starke ist sehr verschieden ; bei manchen sind sie sehr lang und schlank (Homoiotelus, Eroiylus). Die Schenkel sind an der Innenseite meist nur gegen die Spitze, seltener fast der ganzen Lange nach gefurcht. Die Endsporne der Schienen sind meist klein oder fehlen ganz. Die Tarsen, von verschiedener Breite und Lange, sind unten fast immer mit einer Haarbiirste versehen, sehr selten fehlt dieselbe {Hypodacne). Das erste Ventralsegment ist wenig langer ais das zweite und bildet zwdschen den Hinterhiiften einen mehr oder weniger breiten Intercoxalfortsatz, der vorn meist abgestutzt ist; nur bei Xenoscelis und Diphylliis ist deselbe dreieckig zugespitzt. Aeussere sexuelle Unterschiede sind oft bemerkbar z. B. durch verschiedene Grosse, schmale oder breitere Gestalt. verschiedene Fiihlerlangen, punktiertes Abdomen oder glattes, cf erstes V' entralsegment mit Eindriick [Erotylus-Axien), cf erstes Ventralsegment mit kleinem Haarfleck, cf Kopf vorn tief grubig {Byachysphaenus-Arien). cf Scheitel mit einem Horne (Typocephalus), cf Vorderschenkel in der Mitte verdickt {Eroiylus gibbosus, sphacelaius), cf bogige Hinterschienen {M egalodacne- Arier\) u. s. w.

Das Endglied der Kiefertaster ist erweitert, beilfbrmig oder dreieckig. Das Kinn hat tiefer eingesenkte Seitenecken. Die Epimeren der Hinterbrust sind gesondert. Die Tarsen haben ein kleines mit dem langen Klauengliede verbundenes viertes Glied, das in der Oberseite des dritten Gliedes versteckt liegt. Die Hinterhiiften sind breit von einander getrennt. Die Korperform ist im allgemeinen oval bis nicht selten halbkugelig, seltener oblong-oval. Die Anzahl der Gattungen, die bei Chapuis nur 16 betrug, ist jetzt auf 28 angewachsen, von denen nur zwei {Aulacochiliis und Satelia) in Europa, Asien, Nord-Afrika vertreten sind; alie anderen Gattungen bewohnen nur Amerika, die grosse Masse der bisher beschriebenen 61 5 Arten Tropisch Sud-Amerika, ungefahr ein Sechstel Central-Amerika, nur eine Art Nord-Amerika.

Charaktere. — Der Kopf endigt in ein keilfbrmiges Rostrum, ist klein und oben leicht abge- plattet. Das letzte Glied der Kiefertaster ist ziemlich stark beilformig; das Kinn ist langlich, vorn sehr leicht dreispitzig, das Unterkinn ist mehr entwickelt ais bei den anderen Genera. Die runden, massig grossen Augen sind fein facettirt. Die Fiihler iiberragen ein wenig die Halsschildbasis, sind massig robust, allmahlich zur Spitze starker werdend; die ziemlich grosse, gesagte Keule ist viergliedrig. Der Prothorax ist sehr kurz, klein. vorn stark ausgeschweift, an der Basis mit abgestutzten Ecken, nach vorn stark verschmalert. Kopf und Prothorax sind nicht punktiert. Die Beine sind sehr verschieden lang, von kurz bis ziemlich lang, nur wenig robust; das erste Tarsenglied, besonders an den Hinterbeinen, ist langer ais das zvveite; das dritte Glied ist herzformig. Das Prosternum ist in der Mitte stumpf gekielt, nach hinten etwas erweitert; das Mesosternum ist convex, nach vorn erweitert. Der Korper ist breit oval, fast oder ganz halbkugelig, von roter oder gelber Farbe, seltener kommen gezeichnete Fliigeldecken vor; oft sind Kopf und Halsschild schwarz oder die Unterseite; einige Arten stechen von allen iibrigen durch ihre blauen Fliigeldecken ab.

Charaktere. — Der massig grosse Kopf ist eben oder leicht convex. Die Innenlade der Untcr- kiefer hat zwei Hornhaken; das Endglied der Kiefertaster ist erweitert, beilformig. Das Rostrum ist keilformig, an der Basis nicht eingeschntirt. Das viereckige, oblonge Kinn sitzt auf einem ziemlich langen Unterkinn, ist vorn dreispitzig und hat drei fast gleich grosse Flachen. Die sehr kleine Zunge ist etwas ausgerandet und hat deutliche Nebenzungen; das Endglied der Lippentaster ist erweitert, quer, doppelt so breit ais lang. Die massig grossen Augen sind fein facettirt. Die Fiihler erreichen die Halsschildbasis, sind auch oft ktirzer, das dritte Glied ist langlich, das vierte bis siebente meistens oblong, die drei oder viergliedrige Keule ist schlank und lose. Der Prothorax ist quer, wenig convex, mehr oder weniger lang und nach vorn verengt, vorn nicht ausgeschweift wie JEgithus, Hinterecken sind mehr oder weniger vorspringend. Die Basis ist stets rechtwinklig abgeschnitten. Die Fliigeldecken sind oval oder oblong, nicht halbkreisrund. Die Epipleuren nur sehr massig gross, vorn am breitesten. Das Prosternum bald massig convex, bald gekielt in der Mitte, nach hinten erweitert, vorn mit hockerartigem Vorsprunge. Das IMesosternum ist quer, etwas convex, vorn rechtwinklig abgestutzt oder etwas gerundet. Die kurzen Beine haben die schlanken Schenkel unten gerinnt, und mehr oder weniger gebogene .Schienen. Die Tarsen sind etwas erweitert mit sehr variabelem ersten Gliede, Die Korperform ist sehr variabel, doch nie halbkugelig oder fast kreisformig wie Cy domor phiis oder .-Egithus, ebenso ist das Balbschild nie V-formig wie Aigithtis. Die zahlreichen Arten bilden zwar in Form und Zeichnung grossere Gruppen, die sich aber nicht scharf dehnieren lassen, Vielleicht gewahrt die Bildung des Prosternum und Mesosternum die Moglich- keit mehrere gute Genera zu schaffen. Die Gruppen von Crotch (Revis. Fam. Erotyl. p. 120-146), die sich im grossen und ganzen der Lacordaire ’ schen anschliessen, habe ich beibehalten, jedoch Bradiymerus wieder abgesondert. Gorham schreibt Bradiysphenics [BioX. Centr, Amer. Ins. Coi. Vol. 7, p. 92). FAM. EROTYLIDiE 21 Charaktere der Subgenera ; Subgenus Megaprotus. — Korper kurz, oval, mehr oder weniger convex. Das Halsschild ist quer, nach vorn sehr verengt und vorn tief halbkreisformig ausgeschnitten. Die Arten mit vorn tief gefurchtem Kopfe beim cf , erweiterten Vordertarsen bilden ein neues Subgenus. Das Prosternum ist gekielt oder nicht. Die kurzen Beine haben schlanke Tarsen und langeres erstes Hintertarsenglied. Kleine Arten. Subgenus Habrodactylus. — Korper im Allgeineinen oval, ziemlich bis massig convex. Flals- schild stark quer, mehr oder weniger nach vorn verengt, ohne vorderen Kreisausschnitt wie Megaprotus. Beine kurz, meist ziemlich kraftig. Tarsen meist schlank mit sehr langem ersten Gliede. Kleine Arten meist unter lo mm. Subgenus Acronotus. — Korper oval, gleichmassig beiderseits verschmalert, convex. Hals- schild ziemlich lang, etwas nach vorn verengt. Basis breit gelappt in der Mitte, Oberseite fast flach. Prosternum auf der Mitte nach vorn gekielt. Beine sind kurz, Tarsen kraftig, langlich, erstes Hinter- tarsenglied sehr lang. Subgenus Stennolobus. — Prosternum stark gekielt. besonders vorn. Subgenus Iphiclus. — Korper meist langlich. Halsschild quer. kurz. Erstes Hintertarsenglied selten so lang ais die zwei folgenden zusammen genommen. Helle Tropfenzeichnung auf den Fltigeldec- ken, die aber auch bei einigen Br achy merus Kvien vorkommt. Subgenus Monphoides. — Halsschild gewohnlich quadratisch, flach oder sehr wenig convex. Tarsen ziemlich kraftig mit langem ersten Hintertarsengliede. Meist schwarze Farbung mit roten Flii- geldecken und Abdomen. Fliigeldecken teils ohne Makel, teils je einen grossen oder zwei kleine Mittel- makel, oder gelbrote Eliigeldecken mit je ein bis zwei Langsflecken, oder ganzer Korper rot exci. Beine und Ftihler. Man kann zwei Gruppen scharf trennen : i) Langliche Arten mit nicht gekieltem Prosternum; 2) Ovale Arten mit gekieltem Prosternum. Subgenus Aegithomorphus. — Korper breit oval, convex. Halsschild trapezformig, vorn ziem- lich stark ausgeschweift. Basis breit gelappt in der Mitte, oben fast flach. Tarsen kraftig, erstes Hinter- tarsenglied kiirzer ais die zwei folgenden zusammengenommen. Korper schwarz mit rotem Abdomen, Fliigeldecken schwarz mit grossem gemeinsamen rostfarbenem Fleck. Das Prosternum nur vorn wie zusammengekniffen gekielt. Subgenus Oogaster. — Korper oval, ziemlich convex. Halsschild kurz, nach vorn stark verengt, vorn halbrund ausgeschweift, oben fast flach. Beine ziemlich kraftig. erstes Hintertarsenglied kiirzer ais die zwei folgenden zusammengenommen. Prosternum in der Mitte convex. Fliigeldecken doppelpunkt- reihig. Subgenus Barytopus. — Oval oder fast parallelseitig. Halsschild im allgeineinen lang, massig nach vorn verengt, Basismitte ziemlich schmal und stark gelappt. Die meist iiber 10 Mm. grosen Arten haben lebhafte Zeichnung, meist mit Querbinden, teils ganz, teils aufgelbst. Prosternum sehr oft in der Mitte gekielt. Die xArten mit doppelpunktreihigen Fliigeldecken wurden ais neues Subgenus abgetrennt. Das Halsschild ist meist schwarz ohne Basisgrube. Subgenus Brachymcrus wurde von Crotch teils zu Habrodactylus, teils zu Barytopus, teils zur Gattung Typocephalus zerteilt. Tarsen kurz wie bei Barytopus, jedoch andere Zeichnung. 22 COLEOPTERA TABELLE DER SUBGENERA 1. Breit ovale Gestalt, Fliigeldecken glatt . . — Ovale bis liingliche Gestalt 2.

Das Endglied der Kiefertaster ist stark quer, napffbrmig, das der Lippentaster meist dreieckig oder etwas cylindrisch. Die an der Spitze zweispaltige Zunge hat zwei pinselformige Nebenzungen. Die Innenlade der Unterkiefer ist an der Spitze schrag abgestutzt und dort mit einer Reihe Wimperhaaren besetzt und mit einem oder zwei kraftigen, spitzen, kurzen Hornzahnen bewaffnet. Die Aussenlade iststumpfer, von gleicher Lange und dicht bewimpert. Die grossen, langlichen Augen sind stark facettirt. Die kraftigen Fiihler, rvelche mindestens die Halsschildbasis erreichen, haben das erste Glied gross, fast cylindrisch. das zweite sehr kurz, das dritte Glied so lang ais die zwei folgenden Glieder zusammengenommen, das vierte bis achte Glied sind fast rund, das neunte bis elfte Glied bilden eine scharf abgesetzte, ovale, gesagte Keule. Der Prothorax ist viereckig, mehr oder weniger quer; die Seiten sind gerade, die Basis ist schwach zweibuchtig und jederseits leicht grubig. Das Schildchen ist dreieckig. Die Fliigeldecken sind breiter ais die Halsschildbasis, meist gegen die Spitze zu sparsam behaart. Der Korper ist langlich, etwas parallel. Alie Arten sind von ansehnlicher Grosse. Das Prosternum ist etwas zwischen den Hiiften vorgezogen, gerandet, verkehrt dreieckig mit flacher V^orderseite. Der Kiel ist breit, nur zwischen den Hiiften sichtbar. Das Mesosternum ist viereckig, quer. Die ziemlich langen, kraftigen Beine haben die Schenkel in der Mitte etwas verdickt, die Schienen gerade, gegen die Spitze pubescent; das erste Taisenglied ist langer ais das zweite, das vierte Glied knotenformig, das fiinfte mindestens so lang ais die vier ersten Glieder zusammengenommen.

Charaktere. — Der grosse Kopf ist kurz; das nicht von der Stirn getrennte Epistom hat einen tiefen Einschnitt, der teils dreieckig, teils fast viereckig ist. Das Endglied der Kiefertaster ist napfformig erweitert, stark quer, das der Lippentaster nur massig erweitert, in Arteines Dreieckes. Die Hornzunge hat grosse dreieckige Nebenzungen. Das Kinn ist viereckig oder wenigstens quer. oft an den Seiten ein wenig gerundet, plotzlich nach vorn verschmalert, rechtwinklig an der Spitze abgeschnitten, die Vorderecken des nicht eingeschnurtes Teiles sind vorspringend. Die Innenlade der Unterkiefer ist ein wenig an der Spitze angeschwollen, die Aussenlade ist dreieckig, an der Basis sehr schlank. Die grossen Augen sind rund, vorstehend und stark facettirt. Die ziemlich kraftigen Fithler, die wenigstens die Halsschildbasis erreichen, haben das dritte Glied mindestens so lang ais das vierte und ftinfte Glied zusammengenommen, das vierte bis achte Glied sind kurz, gleich, das neunte bis elfte Glied bilden eine scharf abgesetzt, ovale, ziemlich grosse Keule aus spitzeckigen Gliedern. Der Prothorax ist gross und quer und hat oft zwei Langsreihen tiefer, nach vorn zusammen- gehender Punkte. Die langlichen Fliigeldecken sind nach hinten leicht verschmalert, seltener parallel. Die ziemlich langen und kraftigen Beine haben die Schenkel ein w^enig zusammengedruckt, unten gerinnt. die Schienen glatt oder nur die Spitze leicht pubescent. Au den Vorderbeinen sind die Schenkel oft an der Basis bogig und in der Mitte verdickt. Die Tarsen sind subpentamer, und bildet dieses Genus gleichsam den Uebergang zu den deutlich fiinftarsigen Gattungen. Die drei ersten Tarsenglieder sind einander gleich, das vierte ist sehr kurz, nur knotenformig, das ftinfte Glied fast so lang ais alie vorhergehenden Glieder zusammengenommen. Die Arten sind von ansehnlicher Grosse, meist i5-2o mm. lang. Geographische Verbneitung der Arten. — Tropisch Stid-Amerika bis Mitte-Mexico. I.

Das Endglied der Kiefer- taster ist sehr regelmassig. napformig erweitert, das Endglied der Lippentaster ist kleiner und dreieckig. Die Hornzunge hat kleine, linienfbrmige Nebenzungen. Das fast viereckige oder oblonge Kinn ist vorn dreispitzig, die mittlere Spitze ist dreieckig. Die Innenlade der Unterkiefer ist sehr kurz, ein wenig an der Spitze verdickt. unbervaffnet, die Aussenlade ist ziemlich gross, dreieckig. Die schlanken Fiihler iiberragen die Halsschildbasis, das dritte Glied ist mindestens von der Lange der beiden folgenden Glieder zusammen, das vierte bis achte Glied sind fast rund. Die Keule ist kurz mit zwei Gliedern. die dreieckig quer stehen, wahrend das dritte Glied langlich quer ist. Die Augen sind gross und grob facettirt. Die Beiire sind nur massig lang oder kurz. Die erweiterten Schenkel sind zusammengedriickt, unten gerinnt, die Schienen gerade, die drei ersten Tarsenglieder sind fast gleich, unten pubescent. Das Prosternum ist bei den meisten Arten gekielt. Die jetzige Gattung umfast nur den zweiten Teii der Gattung Lacordaire’s ; es sind alles kleinere 62 COLEOPTERA Arten von 5-io mm. Liinge, langlicher Gestalt mit meist roten bis gelben Binden. Die Kopftaibung der einzelnen Arten ist sehr constant. Von Triplax, der gleich gefonnte Endglieder der Kiefer- und Lippentaster besitzt, durch dessen fein facettirte Augen verschieden.

Charactere. — Der ziemlich breite Kopf ist kurz; das Epistom ist nicht von der Stirn getrennt, 82 COLEOPTERA undeutlich ausgerandet. Die Mandibeln sind sehr breit' und haben eine kraftige, zweizahnige Spitze. Die Innenlade der Unterkiefer ist ziemlich schmal, die Aussenlade nach aussen sehr stark gerundet erweitert, beide am Spitzenteile mit gekrummten Haaren besetzt. Das erste Glied der Kiefertaster ist lang, gleich den zvvei folgenden Gliedern zusammen, das zvveite und dritte von gleicher Liinge, das Endglied sehr gross, quer, hinten gerundet, vorn abgestutzt, zusanimengedruckt; das Endglied der Lippentaster ist viel kleiner, leicht beilformig. Das Kinn ist so lang oder langer ais breit mit parallelen Seiten und vorn dreispitzig, in der Mittellinie hoch gekielt; dieser Kiel ist hinten in zwei Aeste, gegen die Basisecken laufend, gespalten. Die ziemlich grossen, rundlichen Augen sind fein lacettirt. Die Fiihler sind im allgemeinen ziemlich kriiftig; das erste Glied ist nur massig dick, das zvveite Glied an Dicke gleich dem dritten, letzteres etvvas langer, die folgenden Glieder bis zum achten Gliede nehmen meist allmahlich an Lange ab; die dreigliedrige Keule ist scharf abgesetzt, breit, zuzammen- gedruckt. Der llalsschild ist quer, hat fast gerade Seiten. Die Fltigeldecken sind oblong, massig convex, punktiert gestreift. Das Prosternum ist massig kurz (bei Tritoma kurz), die Seitenrandleisten des Fortzatzes sind nur kurz oder gar nicht tiber die\’'orderhuften verlangert (bei Tritoma weit iiber die Vorderhtiften verlangert). Der Mesosternalfortsatz ist quer, trapezformig. Das Metasternum ist viel langer ais das erste \'entralsegment, zvvischen den Hinterhiiften sehr flach ausgeschnitten. Die Beine sind kurz, kraftig, die Schienen gegen die Spitze erweitert, die Tarsen ziemlich kiaftig, die drei ersten Glieder sind einander gleich. Der Korper ist oblong oder oval, meist massig convex. Die Larve und Nymphe von Triplax riissica wurde vmn Leon Dufour {Anu. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 191 I1842]) ausfiihrlich beschrieben und abgebildet. Nach Perris {Larves de Coleoptere. p. 572 [^1877;) ist der Unterschied der Triplax- von der T ritoma-L-axx & folgender : Das neunte Abdominalsegment ist bei Triplax hinten deutlich ausgerandet, und tragt zvvei kurze Hornhaken, bei Tritoma hinten mit zvvei kurzen, dicken, nach vorn neigenden, schvvarzen (exci, rotliche Basis) Hornhaken besetzt und nicht ausgerandet. Die braunen Ouerbinden der ersten acht Abdominalsegmente von Triplax haben zwei parallele Ouerreichen, schvvarzer Hockerchen, das neunte Segment hat auch eine solche Ouerreihe und einen Haarvvirtel an der Basis der Hakenfortsatze, bei Tritoma tragen die acht ersten Abdominal- ringe auf dem Kiicken je ein rotlichbraunes. fein gekorntes Querband, das neunte Segment ist nur schwach gebraunt. Die meisten Arten leben in Anzahl in Baumschvvammen, wie ihre Larven. Die Verpuppung erfolgt in der Erde.

Die kraftigen Kiefertaster haben das erste Glied klein, das zweite und dritte dick und quer, das Endglied lang und zugespitzt. Das Endglied der Lippentaster ist langlich eiformig. Die hornartige Zunge ist an der Spitze ausgeschweift, seitwarts nur mit wenigen Wimper- haaren bekleidet. Das Kinn hat eingesenkte, zahnformig vorspringende Seitenecken. Die nicht einge- senkte Partie ist quer, vor der Basis ein wenig erweitert, dann quer dreieckig verengt und in einen ■scharfen Mittelzahn vorgezogen, soweit wie die Seitenzahne. Die Augen sind rund, ziemlich gross und massig fein facettirt. Die kraftigen Frihler haben eine scharf abgesetzte dreigliedrige Keule; das dritte Ftihlerglied ist so lang ais die beiden folgenden zusammen, das vierte bis achte Glied ist kurz, die drei letzten Glieder sind sehr breit, dicht zusammengedrangt. Der Halsschild hat fast Fliigeldeckenbreite und ist nach vorn in leichter Rundung verengt; Seiten und Basis sind gerandet. Die Flugeldecken sind langlich-eiforinig und tragen deutliche Punktreihen. Die kraftigen, ziemlich langen Beine haben die Schenkel in der Miite verdickt und zusainmen- gedriickt, die Schienen sind gegen die Spitze alimahlich erweitert, Spitze abgestutzt. Die vier ersten Tarsenglieder sind kurz, wenig breit, das zweite bis vierte (jlied in der Lange kaum verschieden; das Endglied ist fast so lang ais die vier ersten Glieder zusammen.

L^MOSACCIN^ COLEOPTERA FAM. CURCULIONIOS SUBFAM. L^MOSACCIN^ par Albert BOVI E AVEC I PLANCHE COLORIEE HISTORIQUE E genre Laemosacctts a ete fonde par Schoenherr dans sa Curculionidiim dispositio methodica en 1826, il n’en connaissait que six especes americaines et une espece australienne. Lacordaire en 1866 dans son Genera des Coleopteres en indique huit. Le Catalogus Coleop- terorum de Gemminger et Harold en mentionne vingt-deux. Actuellement ce groupe, limite encore au seul genre Laemosacciis , en contient septante-neuf especes. (Dernier volume du Zoolo- gical Record consulte : igo6). Un tableau synoptique des especes d’Australie et de Tasmanie a ete publie par Lea {Proc. Limi. Soc. N. S. Wales, Vol. 21, p. 3ii), voir aussi a ce sujet les corrections publiees par Lea {Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Anstral. Vol. 28, p. iSq). Les Laemosaccinae forment la cinquante quatrieme tribu de la classification de Lacordaire. Cet auteur les avait places entre les Derelominae et les Alcidinae, les eloignant ainsi fortement des Magdali- ninae, avec lesquels il avait pourtant reconnu les affinites qui les en rapprochent. Pascoe (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), Vol. 17, p. 419 [1886]) les place nettement pr6s des Magdalininae . Caracteres generaux. — Ces insectes sont caracterises par un rostre droit, cylindrique, assez court, de grosseur variable, un peu plus long que la tete, les machoires a decouvert, les scrobes obliques, commengant apres le milieu du rostre. La tete est subglobuleuse, plus ou moins saillante. Les antennes courtes, coudees, le scape grossissant graduellement, un peu arque, le funicule de 7 articles, le premier gros, allonge, le deuxieme presque cylindrique et plus court que le premier, les cinq autres 2 COLEOPTERA beaucoup plus courls. La massue est articulee, de meme longueur au moins que le funicule, en ovale allonge. Les 5'’eux, fortement rapproches Tun de Tautre au dessus, sont transversaux, oblongs. Le prothorax est depouivu de lobes oculaires, sinue a sa base, generalement tres convexe, se retrecissant brusquement en avant, sans cotes fines, longitudinales et paralleles. Un ecusson. Les elytres sont plus courtes que Tadomen, laissant le p3^gidium a decouvert, peu convexes, generalement paralleles, pas plus larges que le thorax et isolement saillantes a leur base. Les hanches anterieures sont grosses. subglo- buleuses, assez fortement separees, les pattes courtes, tres robustes, les cuisses sont dentees en dessous, comprimees, les jambes anterieures arquees. Les deux premiers articles des tarses sont etroits, le troi- sieme large, spongieux en dessous, le quatrieme est grele, muni de deux crochets. Pj^gidium vertical, triangulaire. Epi meres du mesothorax non ascendantes. Les segments intermediaires de Tabdomen sont, soit coupes carrement, soit arques a leurs extremites. Le corps est oblong, presque cylindrique, peu pubescent. Les Laemosaccns sont de taille mediocre n’atteignant guere au maximum que lo millimetres de longueur, peu remarquables par leurs teintes, n’offrant sur les elytres que rarement quelques petites bandes ou petites taches claires sur fond obscur. Leur facies les rapprochent assez bien des Magdalininae. Genus L/EMOSACCUS, Schoenherr Lsemosaccus. Schoenherr, Disp. Meth. Curcul. p. 5o (1826). Lsemosaccus. Lacordaire, Gen. Coi.

Caracteres. — Les caracteres du genre sont les memes que ceux exposes pour le groupe. Le type du genre est le Laemasocciis plagiahis Eabricius. Les Magdalis pipitzi et bicristaliis Faust rentrent peut-etre dans ce genre. Distribution geographique des especes. — Les insectes appartiennent a deux groupes geographiques nettement separes, les uns habittent toute l’Amerique, peu nombreux au Nord, leur nombre semble augmenter a mesure que i’on descend vers le Sud Le second groupe, nombreux en Australie et Tasmanie, se retrouve egalement dans plusieurs des fles de TOceanie. On en connait actuellement les septante neuf especes suivantes : 1. L. affaber. Boheman, in Schoenherr, Gen. Cure. Vol. 8 (i), p. 68 (1844). 2. L. argenteus, l^&3..Vxoc,. Linn. Soc. N. S.

PYRGOMORPHIN^ par Ignacio BOLIVAR AVEC I PI.ANCHE COI.ORIEE ES insectes de cette sous-famille ont deja fait Tobjet d’une monographie qui a paru en 1884(1); mais, depuis cette epoque, plusieurs travaux ont ete publies et on a deerit divers genres nouveaux, dont quelques-uns ne rentrent pas facilement dans aucune des divisions que j’avais etablies; par contre, d’autres, comme le genre Charilatis, Stal, ont ete ranges a juste titre dans une autre famille et, Pamphagodes devant le suivre, la section des Pam- phagodee devient inutile; enfin, Aspidophymee et les Onimexechm doivent, a mon avis, etre rejetees des Pyrgomorphince, les premieres, pour etre rapportees aux vrais Acvidiim et, les autres, pour constituer une nouvelle sous-famille. Ces variations montrent Tinteret d’une revision des Pyrgomorphinse, dont la division en sections, ainsi que le placement de celles-ci, devront subir de grands changements en vue de rendre ces groupes plus natui‘els et de les relier entre eux par des caracteres plus importants. Les changements dont je viens de parier permettent d'etablir la caracteristique de la sous-famille telle qu’elle a ete exposee par Stal, dans son Recensio Orihopterornm, en 1873, et qu’on pourrait resumer dans les termes suivants : « Fastigio capitis plus minusve prominulo, horizontali, plerumque cum vertice toto in eodem )) plano jacente, fere toto vel magna parte a temporibus sursum vergentibus formato, iirter se fissura vel I) sulco subtili longitudinali et a vertice impressione vel carina angulata vel arcuata separato, impressione )) vel fissura illa subtili longitudinali marginem apicalem fastigii interrumpente et cum sulco costae fron- (i) Bolivar, « Monografia de los Pirgomorfinos » {An. Soc. Esp. Hist. Xat.y Vol. i3, Madrid. 1884. Voir aussi « Notas sobra los Pirgomorfidos » {Boiet. de la meme Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat i904-igo5). 2 ORTHOPTERA )) talis confluente; costa frontali tota vel saltem basin versus sulcata, sulco pone ocellum vel basin versus )) angustissimo, marginibus elevatis contiguis vel subcontiguis ; facie plus minusve obliqua; ocellis mox » infra marginem anticum fastigii positis; oculis parviusculis vel mediocribus, parte antica genarum » brevioribus, saepe multo brevioribus; antennis inter oculos vel inter ocellos, interdum inter oculos et » apicem fastigii positis; pronoto dorso postice obtuse angulato vel rotundato vel emarginato; femoribus » posticis in area externo-media rugis pennatis nunc obsoletis nunc confusis instructis, carina dorsali » prope genicula incisura profunda destituta; calcaribus tibiarum posticarum compressis ; tarsis inter » ungues arolio instructis; prosterno strumoso vel tuberculo conico armato. » Panni ces caracteres, c’est la conformation du sommet du vertex qui prime tous les autres et qui permet a elle seule de distinguer les insectes appartenant a cette sous-famille, devenue maintenant une des plus naturelles et des plus faciles a reconnaitre dans la grande division des Acridiodea. En effet, le tubercule du vertex est saillant en avant des yeux et horizontal ou legerement ascendant. II est forme par le vertex et les tempes; les dernieres 1’entourent par devant et se reunissent anterieurement par une suture longitudinale, ou bien sont separees par un sillon. La direction des tempes est aussi tres caracteristique, car celles-ci viennent occuper une position horizontale dans le meme plan que le vertex, et meme elles peuvent etre quelque peu relevees, constituant ainsi un rebord tout autour de Textremite anterieure de ce dernier. Par suite de cette disposition, la tete apparait plus ou moins conique et le front est presque toujours oblique, formant un angle droit ou aigu avec le plan du vertex; la cote Irontale presente des formes diverses, pouvant etre continue ou s'effacant au niveau de 1’ocelle median, ses bords etant deprimes ou releves et plus ou moins contigus jusqu’a se souder enseinble et faisant disparaitre le sillon longitudinal, comme cela se voit dans les gemes TapJironota et Caconda. Les antennes sont des organes assez variables dans cette sous-famille, pouvant etre ensiformes, ou filiformes, ou offrant des formes intermediaires entre celles-ci ; mais, en general, elles sont triquetres a la base, c’est-a-dire en forme de ]rrisme ou plutot de pyramide a base triangulaire, dont Tune des faces serait tres etroite par rapport aux deux autres; cette forme se continue jusqifla Textremite ou bien change insensiblement jusqu’a ce que rantenne devienne filiforme; il est bien entendu que les deux premiers articles ne prennent point part a cette disposition, le premier etant subcylindrique et le deuxieme plus ou moins globuleux; leur insertion est aussi tres importante, elles sont rarement placees entre les yeux et presque toujours derriere ces organes, entre eux et Textremite du tubercule du vertex. Les ocelles posterieurs sont presque toujours places au-dessus des yeux, pres du bord lateral des tempes ; seulement dans Sphtnarmm et quelques autres genres, iis sont places, par exce])tion, entre les 3’eux. Ceux-ci sont oblongs ou arrondis, assez grands. Les joues sont le plus souvent rugueuses, ou bien offrent des tubercules disposes en ligne oblique s’etendant depuis les yeux jusqu’a Tangle anterieur du pronotum. Les carenes laterales du front ne jouent pas un role important dans la taxonomie de ces insectes, ainsi que les parties de la bouche. Le prothorax est une des parties du corps la plus variee, pouvant etre lisse ou charge de tuber- cules et meme de fortes pointes coniques epineuses ; la position du sillon transversal posterieur (sillon typique), la presence ou babsence de carenes laterales delimitant le dos et les lobes lateraux et, enfin, la forme de ces derniers donnent autant de caracteres importants pour la determination . Les organes du vol peuvent manquer totalement, mais le plus souvent iis sont raccourcis ou bien parfaitement developpes et prennent les formes les plus diverses; souvent, les ailes offrent des couleurs plus eclatantes et plus variees que chez le reste des Acridiodea; ces couleurs sont aussi vires et aussi agreables a la vue que dans nhmporte quel autre ordre dhnsectes. Les pattes peuvent egalement offrir des caracteres interessants : Les femurs posterieurs avec leurs FAM. ACRIDIID^ 3 faces interne et externe verticales et paralleles, ou bien dont 1’externe tres obliquement disposee par rapport a Tinterne, donnent lieu a des variations interessantes ; pour les expliquer facilemenb je considere le femur comme s’il avait la forme d’un prisme hexagonal, ce qui donne six faces, dont trois exterieures et trois interieures, que je designe sous le nom de supero-, medio- et infero-externa ou -interna; Ia nomen- clature pour les carenes n’a pas besoin d’explication, car elle se comprend par la seide enonciation des noms. L’epine apicale externe des tibias posterieurs pouvant manquer, donne aussi un caractere qu’on ne doit pas negliger. Les pieces sternales sont de meme importantes; d’abord, le prosternum peut etre armes d’une epine, ou d’un tubercule place dans le disque, ou forme en partie par le bord anterieur; ce meme bord peut etre entierement dilate comme chez les CJirotogoni . Le reste des pieces sternales forment le plastron sternal, tronque ou anguleux anterieurement, et pourvu presque toujours d’un sillon qui en longe le bord anterieur et qui ne manque que chez les Phymatei. Ce que j’ai indique par la phrase « lamina sternali antice haud marginata ». J’appelle intervalle mesosternal ou metasternal respectivement 1’espace qui separe les lobes du mesosternum ou du metasternum; sa forme et sa largeur par rapport a ces memes lolres fournissent des caracteres d’une vraie importance, ainsi que les fossettes metasternales qui peuvent etre grandes, ouvertes et rapprochees ou bien tres petites et a peine profondes. L’abdomen, quoique varie, n’a pas une grande importance sous le rapport taxonomique, mais ses organes terminaux, cerques, plaques genitales et valvules de Toviscapte en ont davantage, ces dernieres pouvant etre sinuees (comme dans la plupart des Acridiodea) ou droites, non sinuees (comme cela se voit chez les Tapesia. Quant a la position des Pyrgomorphines dans le systeme des Orthopteres, on doit consulter les ouvrages de M. Brunner von Wattenwyl : Prodromus der Etiropdischen Orthopleren, Leipzig, 1882, et Revision du Systeme des Orthopteres, Genova, 1893. Leurs rapports avec les Oedipodinae ne peuvent etre mieux demontres, notamment depuis qu’on connait le genre Tennitarsus ; il en est de meme pour les Pha7nphagin(e ; cependant, il faudra intercaler les Ommexechinee. On sait, du reste, qu’on ne peut disposer les animaux dans une serie lineale; c’est une condition necessaire dans les etudes scientifiques, mais qui ne se retrouve pas dans la nature.

COLEOPTERA FAM CURCULtONlD/E SUBFAM. BELINA3 COLEOPTERA FAM. CURCULIONIOS SUBFAM. BELIN^ par Arthur M. LEA et Albert BOVI E AVEC I PLANCHE COLORIEE Dans ce travail, M. A. Lea s’est charge des Belinae d’Oceanie (texte anglais), M. A. Bovie a fait la partie relative aux especes americaines (texte fran9ais). La planche a ete executee en partie d’apres des exemplaires de la collection Lea, en partie d'apres des insectes de la collection Bovie et sous la surveillance de ce dernier. I. - BELIN/E D OCEANIE par Arthur M. LEA HIS is a subfamily of CurculionidcB leadily distinguished from most other subfamilies by the following combination of characters : Body more or less long and thin ; antenme without a club and not geniculated; abdominal segments regularly decreasing in length, with the sutures of the second, third and fourth straight, and the claws simple. Excluding Dicor- dylm{i), an American genus and which I do not purpose treating upon here, the subfamily is Australasian, the bulk of the species being confined to Australia itself. Le Conte regarded the Belidae as equal in value to the Brenthidce, and placed them as a family (i) Lacordaire, Gen. Coi. Vol. 6, p. 523 (i863). COLEOPTERA at the very end of the Rhynchophora [i'), but the subfamily is cleaily allied to the Eurynchides {2), althougli the genera of that subfamily have clavate antennas, and the third and fourth abdominal segments small. General characters. — Head rather elongate, free. Eyes large, lateral, prominent, very finely faceted, briefly ovate. Rostrum of variable length. Scrobes varying from foveiform to shallow' and oblique. Antenn® thin to moderately stout, neither geniculate nor clavate, second joint short, eleventh longer than tenth, its apical half cone-shaped, all (except some of the joints in Rhinotia) circular in transverse section, usualh' inserted nearer base than apex of rostrum. Prothorax transverse, dilated towards base, which varies from truncate to strongh- bisinuate, sides feebl}' to strongl}" rounded, ocular lobes absent(3). Scutellum of variable shape. Elytra varying from moderatel)’ narrow to very narrow, more or less parallel-sided from shoulders to be3'ond the middle, shoulders rounded, apex variable, margins at junction of metasternum and abdomen veiy^ feebl}' curved. Prosternum with part in front of co-xse narrower or wider thaji part behind coxae. Mesosternum with intercoxal process very narrow; front side piece larger than the other and rounded on its front edge, so as to encroach on side of prosternum; hind side piece usually interrupted (4) by a short triangular extension of each elytron at the junction of its base and side. Metasternum elongate, side piece wide, obtusely produced at inner apex and narrowed posteriorly. Abdomen elongate, convex, segments regularly decreasing in length, sutures of second, third and fourth straight. Legs usually rather short. Four front coxae subglobose, free, hind pair transverse, almqst or quite touching elytra; front pair contiguous, middle pair narrowly separated, hind pair separated b}’ an equilaterally triangular process of abdomen. Femora dentate or not(5). Tibias straight (except for basal curvature) or slightly curved and usually denticulate below, terminated by two short spines. Taisi densely setose on lower surface, first joint moderately long, second shorter, third stili shorter and deeply bilobed, fourth elongate; claws simple. P>ody winged, more or less fusiform or subcylindrical, clothed in places with short pubescence (6), usually with dense granules in places, but seldom tuberculate. Of the genera, Rhinotia (althougli many of its characters are exactly as in Belus) is distinet. Agnesiotis is also distinet. Pachyura, althougli regarded by Lacordaire as a synonym of Belus, is quite distinet from that genus by the short stout rostrum and wide shoulders. The species standing in it at present, however, are not veiy homogeneous in appearance. Belus is remarkable for the great variation that occurs at the apex of the elytra, which vary from strongh’ rounded (as in its subgenus Isacantha) through almost imperceptible stages to strongly and acutely produced as in bidentatus and otiiers. Cyrotyphus. Agathinus and Lebus are closely allied and possibly in time it niay be considered advisable to unite theni. The genera niay be tabulated as follows : Rostrum more or less long and thin. Antennae thin 2. (Jenus Belus, Schoenherr. (1) The American Naturalist, p. 470, 1874. (2) Before which subfamily Lacordaire placetl them . (3) \ti Pachyura vesti Ui , Cyrotyphus fascicularis, Lebus diurus, A,^athinus sexluberculatus, and doubtless in others, there appear to be ocular lobes, but this appearance is entirely due to a small quantity of setas or pubescence at the places where ocular lobes are usually present. (4) Except in Aguesiofis, in which the triangular extension of each elvtron is practically absent. (5) This character is of specihc hnportance only in the subfamily, as it is variable in Phi?iotia, Belwi (and its subgenus Isacautha)’xnd. Pachyura, ihe teeth, when present, do not appear as angular extensions of a ridge {as in most weevils) but rise suddenly from the surface; there are frequently two on each femur, placed (not one behind the other, but — ) transversely ; with, frequentlv. numerous smaller ones placed behind them, sometimes in one row, sometimes in two. In Belus itself some species are dentate in both sexes, some in the male only. and some in neither sex. (6) True scales are not present, although many of the species appear to have spots of scales, this appearance is really due to local density ot pubescence. FAM.

Etytra wider than prothorax, each separately strongly rounded at base, and encroaching upon but not overlapping prothorax. Femora edentate; tibiae not denticulate below, the hind pair inflated at apex. Other characters as in Belus.

Type. — Macrnbelus insignis. Lea. Geographical distributiori of species. — Queensland. I. M. insignis, nov. sp.(i). Lea Pl., Fig. 7. (i) M. insignis, nov. sp — Black, with a gloss varyinjf in places rom a steel-blue to reddish-violet ; antennae tarsi and parts of tibiae more or less red. With stramineous pubescence forming a line from apex of prothorax to apex of elytra, but very irregularly distributed on suture and dense on scutellum, restof elytra with a few feeble whitish spots; rest of upper surface with very sparse pubescence. Under surface wdth dense pubescence on head, pro- and mesosternum, and on sides of metasternum and abdomen. Head with large, round, clearly defined punctures between eyes, becoming much smaller and i^iartially concealed elsewhere. Rostrum scarcel}'^ longer tban head, short and stout, slightly inflated at insertion of antennae, behind which the XJunctures are dense coarse and partially concealed, in front of antenme highly x^olished and impunctate. Antennae long and thin. not even slightly inflated towards ax^ex, third joint almost twice the length of first and second combined, eleventh distinctly shorter than ninth and tenth combined. Prothorax rather strongl}^ transverse, base strongly bisinuate, median channel wide but interrupted in middle; with dense, round, rather large und usuallv clearly defined iDunctures. Scntellum transversely subcordate. Elytra near base considerably. but not suddenly, wider than x>rothorax, shoulders strongly rounded, regulari/ and rather strongly diminishing in width frora near base to apex, which passes abdomen for a very short distance cnly; each strongly and regularly separately rounded at base; feebly depressed on each side of suture, not suddenly raised behind scutellum; with rather dense but not verv large punctures, becoming larger and subgranulate towards base. Metaster7i7(m feebly granulate, Legs long; femora edentate, the front pair not very stout, hind pair passing apex of second abdoininal segment; hind tibias rather strongly inflated at apex. Length, 16-17 mm. Habitat, Queensland : Rockhampton (.\lacleay Museums), Mackay (C. Frendi). A remarkable and handsome insect. The blue or violet gloss varies according to the direction the insect is viewed rom ; the Steel blue gloss is most coni^icuous on the disc of the prothorax, the reddish violet on the under surface, and on the sides of the elytra. The sutural clothing is in the torm ot very irregular conjoined sxJOts, but towards the apex it becomes more or less line-like. On one sx:)ecimen each elytron has in addition three very feeble rows of minute whitish spots, but on two others the spots (perhafis owingto abrasion) are fewer in number, and without linear arrangement. Tliere are two nude spots on each side of the metasternum {of which one is on the side piece), and a nude spot on each side of each of the four (or three) basal segments of abdomen. The antennai are inserted nearer the apex than base of rostrum. The elytra regularly diminish in width from near the base to the apex. 1 he fine denticulations or granules, nearly ahvays x^resent on the four hind femora of the species ©f Beltis^ are entirely absent from this species.

GYMNETRIN^ par Albert BOVI E AVEC I PLANCHE COLOKIEE ET I PT.ANCHE NOIRE HISTORIQUE CHOENHERR, daiis sa Dispositio Methodica, avait place les Gymnetron pres des- Cionus, se basant sur le nombre restreint des articles du funicule antennaire qui est commun dans les deux genres. Miarus fut fonde quelques annees plus tard (i83i), par Stephens, pour quelques especes du genre Gymnetron. Lacordaire, dans son Genera (1866), crea la tribu des Gymnetrides, la cinquante-deuxieme de sa classification, pour les deux genres, Gymnetron et Miarus. Le troisieme genre actuellement compris dans cette tribu, Meciiius, etait place par Schoenherr dans ses Cionites, tandis que Lacordaire Ten a eloigne pour le placer au milieu des Erirrhinides. Panni les travaux d’ensemble publies sur ces insectes, on peut citer principalement la Revision publiee par Brisout de Barneville dans les Annales de la Societe Entomologiqiie de France. 4® serie, vol. 2 (1862), la Monographie de Desbrochers dans le 2® volume du Frelon (i8g3), et, en dernier lien, le travail publie par Reitter dans le 59® volume des Bestimmungs-Tabellen der europdischen Coleopteren (1907). Ce travail est extrait du 65® volume des Verhandlungen des natmforschenden V ereines in Briimi (Brtinn. 1907). Schoenherr, dans ses differents ouvrages, a connu cinquante-huit especes de cette tribu ; Lacordaire en renseigne soixante-dix-huit, alors que Gemminger & Harold, dans leur Catalogus Coleopie- roriim (1871), en indiquent soixante-seize. Desbrochers, dans sa Monographie, enumere cinquante Gymnetron, treize Miarus et vingt-quatre Meciinis, soit un total de quatre-vingt-sept especes. Vingt- quatre Mecinus, cinquante-huit Gymnetron et seize Miarus sont compris dans la Revision de Reitter. soit en tout quatre-vingt-dix-huit especes. A remarquer que dans ces deux derniers ouvrages les exotiques 2 COLEOPTEKA ne figurent pas. Actuelleinent, on connait vingt-huit Meciniis, quatre-vingt-sept Gymnetron et vingt-six Miarus, en tout cent quarante-et-une especes de la tribu des Gymneirince.

M oeurs. — Les larves des Gymnetrinae vivent dans les capsules ou les fruits de diverses plantes et y subissent leurs metamorphoses dans une loge qu’elles s’y construisent. Leur presence provoque une deformation du fruit qui se trouve gonfle et forme une excroissance ou galle. L’habitat de plusieurs de ces larves est connu ; en voici la liste d’apres Bedel {Ann. Soc.

Entre le 20 juin et le IO juillet, la femelle pond un oeuf dans Tovaire des troisieme, quatrieme et cinquieme fleur de chaque grappe, a partir de la troisieme grappe jusqu’a la huitieme de Tinflorescence ; celle-ci peut ainsi porter jusqu’a quatorze fleurs deformees. L’ovaire parasite ne donne plus un fruit a deux loges, mais il se transforme rapidement (quatre a six jours) en une galle qui atteint parfois g millimetres de diametre transversal. L’eclosion de roeuf a lieu cinq a six jours apres la ponte; la petite larve mise en liberte ronge Tinterieur de la galle, puis, au bout d’une vingtaine de jours, se transforme en nymphe, etat qu’elle conserve de huit a douze jours. Elie donne ensuite Tadulte qui sort de sa prison quelques jours apres. Par des experiences effectuees dans la premiere quinzaine du mois d’aout, Decaux s’est assure que le Gymnetron villosulum n’avait generalement qumne seule generation chaque annee. » Notons encore que, dans le cas d’avortement de Toerif du Coleoptere, la galle reste pleine et de taille inferieure aux galles voisines. Enfin, fait fort interessant, les deux premieres fleurs non parasitees, situees a la base de chaque grappe axillaire, avortent et ne donnent jamais de graines : hafflux de seve attire par les parasites est detourne au profit des galles situees sur la meme grappe. De plus, une fois les galles arrivees a leur complet developpement. la vegetation normale reprend son cours et la grappe parasitee, un inornent arretee dans son elongation, continue a s’all'Onger et a fleurir. h Decaux a complete Thistoire du cecidozoaire de la galle de la Veronique en obtenant. en captivite, deux hymenopteres parasites de Gymnetron villosulum. Metamorphoses. — Les larves, les nymphes et les galles de plusieurs especes ont ete decrites. Laboulbene [Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (3), Vol. 6. p. goo, i858) deerit en ces termes les premiers etats de Miarus campanulae, Linne : Larve blanchatre, molle, courbee en arc, composee de douze segments, la tete non comprise, pourvue de pseudopodes ou de mamelons thoraciques. — Pl. 2, Fig. I. Tete roussatre ou brunatre, luisante, lisse, presque cornee, avec quelques poils fins. Un sillon bien marque en arriere se divise en avant en forme d’Y dont les branches se rendent pres des mandi- bules. — Pl. 2, Fig. 2. Antennes extremement petites, paraissant composees de deux articles. Labre un peu arrondi en avant, cilie ; epistome presque droit. Handibules noiratres, fortes, bidentees a Textremite. Machoires a lobe interne arrondi au sommet, muni, en dedans, de poils raides ou en dent de peigne; palpes biarticules. Levre consistant en un mamelon arrondi a l’extremite. charnue, soudee au menton qui est egalement charnu. formant avec lui un triangle dont les angles anterieurs sont arrondis ; prolongee entre les palpes labiaux qui sont tres petits et composes de deux articles. Segments thoraciques n’etant pas plus grands que les abdominaux ; le premier, ou prothoracique, portant en dessus une double tache noiratre transversale et, en dessous, une paire de mamelons retrac- tiles, de pseudopodes rapproches. Iis consistent en une surface circulaire, legerement brunatre, a centre plus clair et pourvue de quelques poils. Entre les deux pseudopodes du prothorax, on remarque deux points noiratres et un autre point des deux cotes entre chaque pseudopode et le stigmate. Le deuxieme FAM. CURCULIONID^ 5 et le troisieme seginent thoracique ont en dessous une paire pareille de pseudopodes, mais plus ecartes, et Tensemble de ces mamelons forme un fer a cheval. Segments abdominaux rides en travers, les derniers moins epais; une double serie de bourrelets le long des flancs; un petit mamelon anal, retractile. A peine existe-t-il quelques poils fins le long du corps, mais la surface tegumentaire, vue au microscope, est chagrinee, converte de petites asperites. Stigmates au nombre de neuf paires ; la premiere paire est situee au bord exterieur du prothorax, elle est plus grande, legerement ovalaire et placee plus bas que les paires abdominales qui se trouvent les quatrieme, cinquieme, sixieme, septieme. huitieme, neuvieme. dixieme et onzieme segments. La forme de ces derniers stigmafes est a peu pres arrondie. Le point le plus interessant de la configuration de cette larve consiste dans Texistence des mamelons sous-thoraciques, retractiles, pouvant etre compares a des pseudopodes. Nymphe blanchatre peu apres la transformation. deverrant plus tard bruiratre avec un reflet d’un vert bronze ; courte, voutee sur le dos et rabdomen, ce dernier termine par deux saillies epineuses, recourbees en arriere, plus ou nroins marquees et un peu convergentes. Quelques poils blairchatins ou roussatres sur la surface du corps et a Textremite des cuisses. Tete fortement flechie, fourreau du rostre arque. Extrernite du dernier segment abdominal un peu bombee en avant, comme tuberculeuse, et pourvue en arriere de deux appendices. - Pl. 2, Fig. 3, 4-. La surface du tegument est finement chagrinee, les boi-ds des segments ont de petites asperites dirigees en arriere. Le Miarus campanulae parait rester quinze a vingt jours a betat de nr-rnphe, mais, apres sa derniere transformation, il demeure dans sa cellule jusquN ce que ses teguments soient j-affennis ; alors il pratique avec ses mandibules un trou nettement arrondi par lequel il s’echappe de sa prison. La larve de Mecimis collaris est decrite en ces termes par Chapuis & Candeze {Calalogne des Larves des Coleopteres, p. 226, i853) : Larve longue de i 1/2 a 2 lignes, obtuse en avant, un peu acuminee en arriere, d’un blanc jaunatre, presque glabre. Tete petite, subglobuleuse, d'un noir brunatre, presentant une organisation normale, sans ocelles visibles ; antennes representees par un petit tubercule situe en dehors des mandibules ; palpes maxillaires tres petits, formes de deux articles; palpes labiaux d’un seul, difficiles a voir. Segments thoraciques plus developpes que les segments abdominaux, presentant comme eux des segments tiansversaux assez profonds; en dessous, chaque segment du thorax oftVe a Tendroit accoutume des pattes une plaque cornee brune, ovalaire, a peu pres lisse; en dessus, le mesothorax et le metathorax portent lateralem nt une plaque analogue; le prothorax semble aussi en etre muni, mais le point brun qu’il presente est plus petit, plus rapproche du bord posterieur, et n’est autre chose que le stigmate. Segments abbominaux au nombre de nerrf, munis lateralement de tubercules charnus peu saillants, l’un a Textremite de Tarceau dorsal, de chaque cote, Tautre de Tarceau ventral. Stigmates au nombre de neuf paires ; la premiere situee sur le bord posterieur du prothorax, les autres a leur place normale. Les auteurs avaient troirve cette larve sur le Planiago maritima. Les hampes de ce plantain sont un peu renflees en dessous de l’epi; le renflement est fusiforme, assez allonge et occupe toute la circon- ference de la tige. La larve y subit ses metamorphoses et apparait a 1’etat d’insecte parfait dans la premiere moitie dir mois d’aout. □ istribution geographique. — Les Gymnetrince sont surtout repandus dans toute la zone palearctique. On en connait en outre quelques especes de FAfrique australe, du Japon et des Etats Unis. Une espece est indiquee de Ceylan et une du Bresil, celle-ci fort douteuse pour la tribu. 6 COLEOPTERA TABLE DES GENRES I .

CURCULIONID^: 9 On divise le genre Gymnetron en deux sous-genres ; 1. La troisieme strie des ilyires se reunit en arriere d la hnitmne Subgen. Gymnetron, i. sp. 2. La troisieme strie des elytres se reunit en arriere d Ia sixieme Subgen. Rhinusa. Stephens. Le sous-gerne Gymnetron, i. sp.. se divise en outre (pour les palearctiques) en sept groupes d’un ]’un seulement, le premier, Aprinus, Desbrochers, a regu un nom ; il comprend les especes caracterisees par un rostre court et assez epais, a peine plus long que la tete, brievement conique {marmota, Fairmaire ; simum, Mulsant; pirazzolii, Stierlin). Le sous-genre Rhinusa comprend quatre groupes palearctiques dont le quatrieme seul porte un nom : Eutemnosceliis , Desbrochers. II est caracterise par un rostre fortement recourbe, le prothorax tres arrondi lateralement, presque aussi large que les elytres. Tibias sinueux et elargis posterieurement, et subarrondis ou tronqnes presque perpendiculairement au sommet. Ce groupe ne comprend qu’une espece {Unariae, Panzer). Distribution geographique des especes. — Ce genre renferme actuellement quatre-vingt-six especes repandues dans toute la zone palearctique, rAfrique, ITnde, le Japon et TAmerique boreale, en outre une espece du Bresil, mais douteuse pour le genre. 1.

WITH 7 PLAIN PLATES ^ over a thousand species contained in upward of one hundred genera have been it\ described, the Mycetophilidas of the world are yet but imperfectly known. Many of the genera are very widely distributed, occurring in all parts of the world, others apparently have a very limited range. By far the largest number of species have been described from Europe, while the known forms from Asia, Africa and South America may almost be reckoned upon the fingers. Entomologists have long been acquainted with several members of this family, both Reaumur and Degeer having described the immature as well as the adult stages of several species. The earliest known forms were classified in the Linnean genus Tipula; to Bosc belongs the credit of having defined the first Mycetophilid genus, Ceroplaius, in 1792. Meigen was the first to publish extensively upon this family and his works form the foundation of all later work. But few monographs have appeared. The first. Observationes de speciebus nonuUes generis Mycetophila vel novis, vel minus cognitis, by F. H. Stannius, was published in i83i. The most important and indeed the only comprehensive paper which forms the basis of all recent systematic work was written by J. Winnertz, published in i863, and deals with the European fauna. The year following, Schiner in his Fauna Austriaca tabulated the Austrian genera and species. Of the more recent writers whose works are of special importance may be mentioned Dziedzicki, Lundstrbm, Skuse and Marshall. Our knowledge of the early stages of these flies is by no means extensive, although a number of isolated observations have been published. These were collected by Baron C. R. von Osten Sacken, and together with some researches of his own were published in 1864. They were reprinted in 1884 with a few additions; since then but little has been published upon the biology. Geological distributiori. — In spite of the small size and fragile character of these insects they appear to have been preserved from mesozoic times. Brodie has described several species from the English Purbecks. Others have been described by Westwood, Giebel, Scudder and -Cockerell. The 2 DIPTERA family is verv abundant in amber; Loew, and quite recently Meunier, have described numerous genera and species from the Baltic amber. The fossil genera thus far described do not differ strikingly from some of the recent forms, and indeed the differences in some cases are so slight that it is difficult to separate them. Several genera, heretofore known only as fossils, have been discovered by the -writer among living forms, and for this as well as for other reasons they have been considered in the tables which follow. Immature stages and habits. — The larval stage of the Mycetophilidas (exclusive of the Sciaridae) with but few exceptions is passed in mushrooms and decaying wood. The eggs, white oval bodies, are laid in the soft wood or between the gills of a mushroom and develop verj" rapidly. The larvae differ somewhat in structure though superficially possessing a very great similarity. They are twelve segmented, footless, more or less cylindrical, slightly tapering, smooth, soft, whitish in color and with a small strongly chitinized head, which is usually brown or black. The antenna are always very minute, almost rudimentary. The mouth parts consist of a ileshy labrum, with a chitinized frame; flat lamelliform mandibles, indented or serrate on the inner side; maxillae with inner and outer lobes, the former usually serrate, and a small chitinized labium. The body of the larva is without hair or biistles except that in some genera there are one or two transverse rows of simple or bifid ambulacral setulae on the margin of each abdominal segment on the ventral side. There are eight pairs of spiracles, one on the thorax and seven on the first seven abdominal segments, the last two segments having none. These spiracles are protected by small, chitinized conical projections. The pupae are extricated, that is, not encased in the contracted skin of the larva. The legs are applied to the breast and venter, the antennae are bent around the eyes, and extend between the wings and legs. The prothoracic spiracle is placed a little above the root of the wing and immediately behind the antenna. The abdominal spiracles are distiirct on both sides of the abdomen. The pupa is smooth, white in color and usually encased in a delicate cocoon. The pupae of those forms whose larvae live in mushrooms are usually found in the soil and among the decaying parts of the piant. The larval and usually the pupal life also is of short duration. The time which elapses from the egg to the adult stage may not exceed two weeks in midsummer. For expediency’s sake, and also in deference to the opinion of many dipterologists the Sciaridae are not included with the M3metophilidae although it must be confessed they are no more remote from some genera of the subfamily Mycetophilinae than the genera Diadocidia and Bolitophila, and certainly as near as the genera Pachyneura and Thiras which I have included. I have also included several genera in my tables which probably belong with the Sciaridae but because of their transitional characters might be wholly overlooked were they omitted. Hitherto the wing venation has been most used for generic cha- racters but more attention must in the future be paid to seta arrangement, claws, palpi, ocelli, antennae and particularly to the male genitalia. With the discovery of new species from the unexplored regions of the World some transitional forms will doubtless be found and some of the present genera will then have to be combined. In the present paper the fossil genera are included though their consideration makes the definition of recent genera more difficult and restricted. The only family with which the Mycetophilidae as here considered ma}^ be confused is the Scia- ridae. It differs however in wing venation; the R-M crossvein is parallel to the long axis of the wing and lorms apparently the base of a longitudinal vein; the cubitus (except in some fossil forirs) has a very short petiole, the subcostal vein, though usually rather long, ends free, and the media has an elongate but very slender petiole (Pl. 6, Fig. 28, 29). The head also is placed at a higher level relatively to the thorax, the thorax is less arched, and the coxae are not so conspicuously elongate. Family characters of the adult. — The head is narrower than the thorax, spherical or elon- FAAl. AlYCETOPHILIDAi 3 gate, flattened in front or somewhat rounded, placed low relatively to the thorax, front in both sexes broad; either nearly bare or microscopic pilose. The. proboscis is usually short and retracted, in a few genera much elongated. The palpi are three or four jointed, usually incurved, the first joint ahvays very short. The eyes are round or oval in outline, often notched out around the base of the antennae, short pilose. There are usually two or three ocelli, rarely are they absent. The middle ocellus, when present, is alvvays on the center line; the laterals may be closely contiguous to the eye inargin or widely remote from it. When three ocelli are present they may be placed in the form of a triangle on the front or arranged in a curved line. The middle ocellus is frequently very small. The antennae are 2 -[- lo to 2 + 15 jointed, the basal joints differentiated from the others, the first two cylindrical or cupuliform, the flagellar joints usually cylindrical, though sometimes moniliform, and very short pilose. The thorax is oval, more or less highly arched, without transverse suture, the metanotum highly arched, sometimes almost vertical, the mesonotum and pleura pilose and frequently more or less setose; the small scutellum often with several long setae. The abdomen is six to nine segmented, cylindrical, conical, or oval and laterally compressed, constricted at the base, the male with rather complex caudal appendages ( Pl. 7, Fig. 1-20), the female with a short oviduct with terminal lamellae; abdominal hairs and setae usually quite short and inconspicuous. The coxas are very strong and much elongated except in two or three genera; the femora more or less thickened, laterally compressed, often setose; the tibias usualh'^ slender, the fore pair with one long and one short terminal spur, rarely wanting; the middle and hind pairs usually with two spurs each and with from one to four longitudinal rows of setas outwardly and sometimes with a row on the flexor surface; seldom are the setae wanting; the tarsi frequently with ciliated plantae, tarsal claws with teeth. The wings are usually oval, more or less constricted at the base, hairy or more frequently micros- copically setulose, and without the cell first M2 (discal cell). While the venation is quite varied it may be resolved into four principal types (shown in Pl. 2, Fig. 1-4) from which all the others may readily be derived. The most generalized (hypothetical) form is shown in Pl. 2, Fig. I, differing from Palaeoplatytira (Pl. 3, Fig. 7) which is represented b}' both fossil and recent forms in no wise. Only Pachynema and Thiras (fossil) have a greater number of veins and these two genera are of doubtful relationship. Below is given the Comstock- Needham terminology of wing venation which is used in the folio wing text, together with the equivalent terms of the Schinerian system. Subcosta (Sc) Radius ^ Radial sector (Rs) Media . Cubitus Anal veins. Costa (C) ( Sci I Sc2 . Rx i ^2+3 } R4+5 . (M) = Costa. = Subcosta. = Subcostal crossvein. -= First longitudinal vein. = Anterior branch of third vein. = Posterior branch of the third longitudinal vein. = Fourth longitudinal vein. (Cu) = Fifth longitudinal vein. (A) = Anal vein and axillary vein. Crossveins. Subcostal (see above, Sc2) = Subcostal. Radio-Medial (R-M). . == Anterior crossvein. Medio-cubital (M-Cu) . = Posterior crossvein. In this System the cells are given the names of the section of the vein immediately in front of it; thus the cell behind the costa is called the costal cell (or C), the cell behind the basal section of the 4 DIPTERA radius is called R, that behind Rj is called cell Rj, etc. In the case of the Sciophilin^ where R2-1-3 is transverse in position, the small cell is called Rj and the outer cell is R2+3, for were the vein R2+3 normal in position, i. e. longitudinal, this would be the logical nomenclature. The whole of the posterior part of the radius consisting of R2+3 and R4-)-5 is called the radial sector (Rs). Some writers (Winnertz among others) have erroneously considered the base of the sector as a crossvein, while they called the true crossvein the base of the third longitudinal vein (R^-j-s). Phylogeny. — The Mycetophilidae may be considered as having descended from an ancestral form which possessed elongate antennae of seventeen segments, coxas of moderate length and wings with a venation resembling that shown in Pl. 2, Fig. I, but with a four branched radius as in Pachynmra (Pl. 3, Fig. 4). F rom this form arose the Pachjneurins on the one hand and a form having the wing venation shown in Pl. 2, Fig. I on the other. From the latter we may imagine arose all the other subfamilies; the Bolitophilinae {Mycetophaehis, Hesperimis, Bolitophila) •, the Mycetobiinae (Pl. 2, Fig. 2), in which the base of the media is lost; the Diadocidiiae in which one branch of the radius has disap- peared; the Ceroplatinae (through Hesperodes and Apemon) and Macrocerinae, where a coalescence of a section of media and cubitus has taken place; the Sciophilinae (Pl. 2, Fig. 3), in which the M-Cu crossvein is absent, and finally the Mycetophilinae (Pl. 2, Fig. 4) in which both the M-Cu crossvein and the vein R24-3 are lost either by atrophy or by coalescence. In the process of evolution the venation becomes simplified, the antennae are shortened, the coxae lengthen, and finally in the most recent genera the tibial setae are greatly developed. Nomenclature. — It was originally the intention to make no changes in the existing nomen- clature, but this was found to be impracticable. As the work progessed changes were introduced for the sake of consistency until finally it is believed the nomenclature is brought into conformity with the rules of the International code. This has occasioned a regrettable though unavoidable transposition of names due mainly to the recognition of some of the genera of Rondani. The earliest names of Meigen: Zelmira, Polyxena, Euphrosyne and Fungivora (published in 1800). have not been given precedent. The first two are briefly described but no type is mentioned, the synonymy of the third is in doubt, and the fourth seems to have been used at a stili earlier date, but this last point I have been unable to verif3u Besides the substitutions made for names which have been used before {Dziedzichia and Mcunieria), and the introduction of one new one, Apenton, the follovving transpositions may be noted : Lasiosorna (Winnertz) replaced by Sciophila; Enipheria and Sciophila [in sensu Winnertz) by Mycomya; Anaclinia by N euratelia ; Glaphyroptera by Leia; and Leia (in sensu Winnertz) by Rondaniella. Enipheria and Sciophila (Winnertz) have been combined under Mycomya, and Allodia and Brachycampta 'ander Allodia hecause the characters given for their distinction are inadequate. If these genera must be preserved their separation must be made along entirely different lines. Mycetomyza, Rondani (= Mycosia) is probably a synonym of Sciara. Diagnoses of the following new species are published in foot notes under their respective genera : Palaeoplatyura Aldrichii, Allocoiocera flavescens, Anatella silvestris, Cordyla volucris, and Opistholoba ocellaia.

Characters. — The fossil species upon which this genus is founded was first noted and figured by Westwood and was found in the Purbecks, England (Durdlestone Bay). As it is represented by only the wing its position in this subfamily is somewhat doubtful. The wing venation differs from ali other members of the family in having a four branched radius, as in Pachyneura, but having a simple media. The venation resembles somewhat that of Mycetobia, in having a closed basal cell. The subcostal vein extends beyond the middle if the wing, its posterior branch is wanting, R^ is distinet from R5 ; the media is simple, the two crossveins are about equidistant from the base of the wing ; the anal veins well developed (Pl. 3, Fig. 5).

Characters. — This genus resembles Hesperinus, but the media and the cubitus are united for a short distance crowding out the crossvein, as in Platyura. Subcosta ending in the costa beyond the base of the radial sector ; Sca (subcostal crossvein) nearly midway between the humeral crossvein and the base of the radial sector, the latter forking beyond the apex of Ri ; media arising near the base of the cubitus, and just before its union with the radial sector connected by the crossvein with the upper branch of the cubitus, and forking a short distance beyond the union with the radius; cubitus forking midway between the base of the radial sector and its union with the media; anal vein prolonged to the wing margin. Antennae about twice as long as the head and thorax united, cylindrical but tapering to the 20 DIPTERA apex; 2 + 14 jointed, the first joint as broad as long, the second twice as broad as long, and the others tvvice as long as broad; proboscis very robast, shorter than the height of the head; palpi four jointed, eyes emarginate opposite the antennas; ocelli wanting. Abdomen slender, more than three times as long as the thorax (Pl. 3, Fig. I 9, diagrammatic). Type species : H. Johnsoni, Coquillett. Geographical distributiori of species : I. H. Jolinsoni, Coquillett, Ent. News, Vol. ii, p. 429(1900). N. J., United States. 10. Genus APEMON, nov. gen. Characters. — Resembles Platyura but differs in having a distinet, though delicate, fold-like basal portion of the media arising near the base of the wing, and in having no setae, but only hne hairs upon head, thorax, cox$ and femora. The setae of the abdomen, tibiae and tarsi very small and incon- spicuous. Antenna 2-\-iy jointed, flagellar joints cylindrical, under twenty diameter magnification onl}^ indistinctly pilose; ocelli large, arranged in a transverse line on the broad front, middle one only slightly smaller than the others; eyes pdose ; palpi incurved, rather long, basal joint very small, second broad, about as long as broad, third joint about half as broad but twice as long as the second, fourth slender, about five times as long as broad; proboscis short. Thorax moderately arched, dorsum and scutellum provided only with hairs, those over the base of the wing and on the scutellum rather longer, pleura and metathorax nearly bare. Abdomen depressed, flattened, broadened apically, segments finely setulose, particularly on basal portion; male genitalia small, simple, consisting primarily of two incurved lateral lobes, toothed at the apex. Legs moderately long; coxse long, these and the femora short haired, setulae of the tibias less than one-fourth the diameter of tibia in length, spurs strong ; fore metatarsus shorter than the tibia; ali tarsi finely setulose, claws with teeth near the base of each ; empodium conspicuous. Wings (Pl. 3, Fig. I 7) resembling those of Platyura-, media arises near the base of the wing, its first section is delicate and fold-like; R24-3 joints R, near its apex; anal vein prominent, produced to the Wing margin.

Characters. — Head small, transversely oval, ilattened in front; eyes oval, slightly emarginate at the base of the antennae; ocelli three, unequal, closely approximated in a flat triangle on the broad front, the median ocellus smallest; palpi incuived, four jointed, the first joint small, the second oval, equal or shorter than the third, third and fourth cylindrical, the fourth longest; antennae equal or longer FAM. MYCETOPHILID.^ 2 r than the head and thorax taken together, rareh* shorter, arcuate, projecting forward, cylindrical or somewhat compressed, toward the apex somewhat diminishing in diameter, 2 + 14 jointed, the basal joints differentiated, the first cupuliform, the second more cyathiform, the flagellar joints closely sessile. Thorax oval, highly arched; scutellum sinall, nearl}’ semicircular in outline, metathorax arched. Abdomen slender, in both sexes seven segmented, depressed, clavate, in the male somewhat cylindrical at the base, rarely wholly cylindrical, ending in a forceps. Legs long, the femora somewhat thickened, shorter than the tibiae, the tibiae spurred, with very minute setae, one row inwardly and two rows out- wardly, or the fore pair wholl}^ without, Wings (Pl. 3, Fig. 15, 16) somewhat broadened, with roLinded base, as long as or somewhat longer than the abdomen, decumbent, microscopic setulose. Costa prolonged beyond the tip of R4-1-5 and ending before the tip of the wing; subcosta ends in the costa, rarely ending free, usually connected with the radius by Scj (subcostal crossvein) ; R2+3 very short, ending in the costa or in Rj ; the distance from the coalesced portion of the media to its fork short; anal vein either incomplete or produced to the wing margin. Type species : Meigen did not name any species in i8o3 when he described this genus. Zetterstedt designated P . fasciata as the type. Geographical distributiori of species : 1.

Winnertz, Verh. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien. Vol. i3, p. 675 (i863). Characters. — This subfamily differs from Ceroplaiina primarily in having extremely long antennre, often much longer than the body. In the wing venation there is no great difference; R2-1-3 ^1* ways ends in the costa, Sc^ is present, and the anal vein is more or less sinuous and ends in the margin 28 DIPTERA of the wing. The fossil genus Saina, Giebel, which was figured by Brodie is too poorly preserved to place with certainty. According to Scudder the fossil genus Macroiira, Berendt, may be the same as Macrocera, Macroura only being a misprint. Berendt mentions no species. There is but one living genus in this subfamily.

The costa extends to the end of Rj; the subcosta impinges on Rj just beyond the origin of the radial sector, which arises at about two-fifths the distance from the base of the wing to the apex; cell R4-t-5 extends back to the basal cell R itself and the cubitus forks far proximad of the R-M crossvein. In the original description of the author it is stated that the « brachial crossvein » is at the middle of the wing meaning doubtless vein R2+3 which appears to be shown in the author’s figure (Pl. 6, Fig. 5) though but faintly and indistinctly (compare Pl. 3, Fig. 28). The hind thighs are stout, longer than the thorax; the hind tibiae, which are twice as stout at the apex as at the base, are armed with a pair of stout apical spines half as long as themselves, while the hind tarsi are half as long again as the tibiae.

Charactens. — The name Sciophila is used here in the sense of Rondani (i856) and includes all the species classified by Winnertz (i863) in his genus Lasiosoma, the latter thus becoming a synonym of the former. The species which Winnertz placed in Sciophila are transferred to Mycomya, Rondani, where they rightfully belong. Head small, spherical, flattened in front, placed low upon the thorax; eyes oval, slightly emar- ginate at the base of the antennas, almost reniform ; ocelli three in number, arranged in a flattened triangle upon the broad front or more rarely upon the vertex, the middle one only slightly smaller than the laterals ; palpi incurved, four jointed, the first joint very small, the second and third subequal, tha last longer than the others taken together ; antennae, projecting forward, arcuated, somewhat compressed, 2-P14 jointed, the two basal joints cupuliform. hairy. Thorax oval, highly arched ; mesonotum long and thickly haired, not setose; scutellum very small; halteres with short petiole and elongate knob. Abdomen seven segmented, cylindrical, somewhat constricted at the base, hairy, in the male with blunt extremity and small forceps (Pl. 7, Fig. 2). Legs moderately long; the tarsi of the fore legs double the length or rarely more than double the length of the tibiae. The tibiae with spurs and with lateral setae, the fore pair with one or two, the middle pair with three and the hind pair with four rows, the inner rows with only few and weak setas. Wings elongate oval, with rounded base, longer than the abdomen, hairy, hairs sometimes visible with the naked eye. The costa produced far beyond the tip of R^-l-s, but not reaching the tip of the wing ; the subcosta usually extends distad of the small cell and ends in the costa; the cell Rj very small and usually rectangular; the media forks at or but very little distad of the R-M crossvein; the cubitus forks noticeably distad of the fork of the media; the anal vein incom- plete, ending far from the margin of the wing (Pl. 3, Fig. 29). These flies are prevalent in Spring and Fall ; the larvas live in rotten wood and in fungi. FAM. MYCETOPHILID^ 37 Type species : Curtis named 5. hirta, Meigen, as the type of the genus.

The principal difference between this and the foregoing genus is that in this the cubitus forks under or proximad of the R-M crossvein. The small cell Rj also usually appears to be rather longer here than in Empalia. In other respects there appears to be no difference (Pl. 4, Fig. 5). FAM.

Characters. — Eyes oval, somewhat notched out around the base of the antennse, widely separated ; ocelli three in number, the middle one small, arranged in a transverse line on top of the head and widely separated from the eyes; palpi four jointed, cylindrical, the first two joints short, third joint about half again as long as the second, the fourth slender, sickle shaped, twice as long as the third; antennae 2 + 14 jointed, the first one cyathiform, the second C5dindrical, the following joints cylindricaL slightly constricted in the middle The hypopygium stands out, ovate in form, rather large, and not retractile into the abdom.en. The tibial setae are present. The costa extends beyond the tip of R44-S, just reaching the tip of the wing ; subcosta ends in Rj upon the small cell Rj ; this cell is usually over twice as long as wide ; the media is forked under the distal extremity of this cell, its anterior branch is five times as long as its petiole; the cubitus forks far proximad of the R-M crossvein, its branches widely separated; the , second anal vein is stout and ends far beyond the base of the fork of the cubitus; the third anal vein is rather long but slender (Pl. 4, Fig. 7).

FAM. MYCETOPHILID^ 45 17. Genus DIOMONUS, Walker Diomonus. Walker, List Dipt. Brit. Mus. Vol. i, p. 87 (1848). Characters. — This genus resembles Mycomya in wing venation, but differs in having three ocelli widely separated, the rniddle one but little smaller than the laterals (Pl. I, Fig. 20). In the species with which I am familiar the basal joint of the antenna is densely pilose on the underside the flagellar joints are somewhat flattened, especially toward the apex of the antenna (Pl. I, Fig, 14), and the thorax is pilose rather than setose. The costa ends at or but very slightly beyond the tip of R4-j-5 close to the tip of the wing; the small cell Rj is less than twice as long as wide, the petiole of the media is much longer than the R-M crossvein ; the cubitus forks far proximad of the fork of media; the setulse of the wing surface are longer and more dense than in Mycomya, and the wing has two dark spots upon it (Pl. 4, Fig. 8). The legs are very long, the rniddle or hind femur of the male bears a blunt spine on the underside. and the male genitalia usually have two slender curved filaments ( Pl. 7, Fig. 4). The known species are 6-10 mm. in length. In other respects like Mycojtiya. Type species : D. nebulosus, Walker. Geographical distributiori of species : 1. D. bifasciatus, Say. Long’s Exp.

Characters, — The name Mycomya is used here in the sense of Sciophila of Winnertz over which it has priority, and includes also the genus N eoempheria which can only be separated thus : a. Wings hyaline; costa not produced beyond R^ys Subgenus Mycomya, Rondani. aa. Wings banded; costa usually produced Subgenus Neoempheria, Osten Sacken. Flead small, flattened in front, placed low upon the thorax; eyes elongate oval or round; emar- ginate at the base of the antennae; ocelli two or three in number, placed close together upon a rounded, frequently blackened area (Pl, I, Fig. 18), when three ocelli are present they are placed close together in a triangle, the median one very minute; proboscis very short ; palpi incurved, four jointed, the first joint very small, the second somewhat longer, but shorter than the third, the fourth usually as long or longer than the three preceding taken together; face more or less wide; antennae projecting forward, arcuate, longer than the thorax in the male, subequal in the female, somewhat compressed, 2-I- 14 jointed, the scape differentiated, the flrst two joints cupuliform, setose at the tip, the flagellar joints cylindrical. 46 DIPTERA pubescent. Thorax highly arched, ovate, scutellum small, semicircular in outline, metanotum steep. Abdomen slender, seven segmented, constricted at the base, usually somewhat clavate, particularly with the male, depressed behind, in the male ending in a small forceps (Pl. 7, Fig. I), in the female with a short ovipositor terminating in two small lamellae. Coxae elongate, somewhat setose; legs long and slender, femora ciliated on the flexor surface; tibiae with lateral setae, the fore and middle pairs with two, the hind pair with three ranges, the inner row particularly delicate. Wing microscopically setulose, somewhat projecting beyond the tip of the abdomen. The costa either ending at the tip of the wing where it meets the vein R4+5 or ending some distance before it and produced some distance beyond the tip ofR^+s; the subcosta sometimes ending in the costa, sometimes ending free and sometimes ending in R, ; cubitus always forking proximad of the media; the anal veins incomplete and usually rather short (Pl, 4, Fig. 10. I I, 12). The larvae have been found in fungi and in decaying wood. Type species : M. marginaia^ Meigen, designated by Rondani. Geographical distributiori of species : 1.

Characters. — A fossil from Alsatia of which the wing is a good condition f Pl. 5, Fig. 19). The subcosta (Sc) is very long, nearly reaching the apex of the wing; Rj runs parallel to this and ends a little beyond the subcosta; the radial sector, also nearR parallel, ends in the apex of the wing. The R-M crossvein is very oblique; the cubitus forks proximad of the proximal extremity of this crossvein, its branches only slightly divergent; the anal veins incomplete. From the imperfect wing of Adonia fittonia [Plalyura), figured by Brodie (Fossil Ins. p. 33 [121], pl. 3, f. 9 [1845]), it appears that the subcosta is very long. Of the posterior part of the wing nothing can be made out. No species are named under Mycetophilites ; under Adonia there is only fittonia, Brodie (Platyura fittonia), Fossil Ins. p. 33 (121), pl. 3, f. 9 (1845), from the English Purbecks. FAM.

Wings broad, base rounded ; costa prolonged far beyond the tip of the radica! sector, but not quite reaching the tip of the wing; subcostal vein short and ending in the vein R I ; Rj ends in the costa beyond the mid-length of the wing ; basal section of the radial sector nearly transverse in position, situated at about the middle of the wing; media forks distad of the base of the radial sector; cubitus forks distad of the proximal end of the R-M crossvein which is nearl}’ longi tudinal in position and lies in the same line with the last section of the radial sector ; anal veins very short, rudi- mentary(PI. 6, Fig. 1). While slight differences exist in the wing venation of Sciarella, Meunier (Pl. 6, Fig. 2), and Heeriella, Meunier (Pl. 6, Fig. 3), both fossil fornis, they are hardly sufficient to warrant considering them as distinet from Parastemnia. In Sciarella the base of the petiole of the media (i. e. the second section of the media) is nearer the base of the wing, thus the R-M crossvein is longer, while in Heeriella the subcostal vein appears to be longer, and the humeral crossvein and the vein Sca are equidistant from the base of the wing.

Characters. — Head round, flattened in front, placed lovv upon the thorax; front broad, the anterior margin produced in a triangle, the apex of vvhich reaches to the base of the antennae; eyes round; ocelli three in number, the laterals large, contiguous to the eye margin, the middle one small, placed in a groove near the base of the frontal triangle; palpi incurved, four jointed, the firstjoint small, the fourth about as long as the second and third taken together; antennae in the male frequently, in the female usually nearly cylindrical, slender, arcuate, 2 -p 14 jointed, the two basal joints differenti- ated, the second vvith setae at the apex, flagellar joints cylindrical, slightly compressed, pubescent. Thorax oval, highly arched, mesonotum hairy, the hairs on the sides longer, no setae; scutellum nearl}" semicircular, margin setose, metanotum high, somewhat arched. Abdomen of the male slender, six segmented, compressed, constricted at the base, with rather large apical segment and forceps (Pl. 7, Fig. I 2); female with seven segmented abdomen, cylindrical, constricted at the base, with ovipositor ending in two lamellm. Legs slender, fore tibiae shorter than the corresponding tarsi, ali tibiae with spurs and lateral setae. Wings oval, with a more or less rounded base, somewhat longer than the abdomen, microscopic setulose. Costa produced. sometimes only very slightly, beyond the tip of the radial sector and ending at a greater or less distance from the tip of the wing; subcosta short. usually ending free, rarely ending in the costa; media forks distad of the base of the radial sector, rarely directiy under it; cubitus forks distad of the fork of the media, its branches usually widely divergent; anal veins incom- plete, almost rudimentary (Pl. 6, Fig. I I ). The forking of the media distad of the base of the radial sector, and the produced costa will distinguish this genus from Exechia. The flies are found in woods and among shrubbery usually in Spring and Fall. 96 DIPTERA Type species : P. rustica, Winnertz. Geographical distributiori of species ; 1.

Head placed low upon the thorax; palpi incurved, four jointed, the first two joints caliciform, the third cylindrical, the fourth nearly as long as FAM. MYCETOPHILID/E 99 the first three taken together; eyes oval, emarginate at the base of the antennas; ocelli three in number, placed in a transverse line, the middle one small ; antennae arcuate, 2 ■}- 14 jointed, the two basal joints differentiated, the flagellar joints cylindrical. Thorax short, highly arched ; metanotum short; scutellum small, with long setae. Halteres rvith round knob. Abdomen short, compressed, in the male six seg- mented; in the female seven segmented. Legs strong, the middle and hind tibiae with two ranges of late- ral set$ each. Wings oval, those of the male broader at the base. Costa prolonged far beyond the tip of the radial sector; subcostal vein short, but slightly curved; fork of the media distad of the basal section of the radial sector ; forked portion of the cubitus very small, the fork far distad of the fork of the media, the branches widely divergent; one anal vein long and strong though not reaching the posterior margin of the wing (Pl. 6, Fig. 12). The prolonged costa and the strong anal vein readily separate this genus from PJironia. Type species : M. Kowarzii, Dziedzicki. Geographical distributiori of species : I. M.

Characters. — Head oval, flattened in front, placed low upon the thorax; front broad, the anterior margin produced into a triangle which descends to the base of the antennas; eyes oval; ocelli small, two in number, contiguous to the eye margin; antennae projecting forward, 2 -f- 10, 2 12, or 2 4" 14 jointed, very short, but little longer than the head, the joints shorter than broad, discdike (Pl. I , Fig. 7), usually closely sessile, pubescent; palpi four jointed, the basal joint very small, the second much enlarged, thickened, compressed, third and fourth slender, almost filiform, placed at an angle with the second, pubescent (Pl. I, Fig. 9). Thorax oval, highly arched, sometimes produced over the head; mesonotum with short and depressed hairs, posteriorly with few weak setae; scutellum large, setose on the margin; metanotum somewhat arched. Abdomen compressed, constricted at the base, seven segmented, the seventh usually very small and retracted, in the male with small but complex forceps (Pl. 7, Fig. 20), the ovipositor of the female short, stout, with two small lamellae. Legs slender, the tarsi long, the femora compressed, the tibiae spurred, the fore and middle pairs rarely with lateral setae, the hind pair with two ranges of very delicate ones on the extensor surface ; the plantae of the hind tarsi ciliate with microscopic setulae. Wings as long or shorter than the abdomen, oval, with rounded base, with microscopic setulae arranged in regular longitudinal rows. Costa does not extend beyond the tip of the radial sector and ends some distance from the tip of the wing; subcosta very short, curved toward Ri ; media forks distad of the basal section of the radial sector, its posterior branch sometimes not reaching the wing margin; cubitus forks either proximad or distad of the fork of the media; anal veins incomplete (Pl. 6, Fig. I 3). The larvae live in rotten wood and in fungi. The adult insects may be taken at all times except in winter in woods and shrubbery. The description of Brevicornu given by Marshall agrees perfectly as far as it goes with Cordyla, but no mention is made of the stout second palpal joint, though it appears to be indistinctly shown in that author’s figure. lOO DIPTERA Type species : C. fusca, Meigen.

Legs strong, the fore legs short; coxae long and stout; all femora short, compressed, fore femora longer, middle subequal, hind pair shorter than the corresponding tibias; tibiae strong, almost clavate, all with lateral setae and long spurs. Wings longer than the abdomen, oval, with rounded base. Costa ends at some distance from the apex of the wing at the point where the radial sector enters the margin; subcostal vein very short, ending in Rj ; basal cell R long; media forks under or proximad of the basal section of the radial sector; cubitus forks far proximad of the base of the radial sector, the branches making a very acute angle with each other, but more divergent toward the margin; anal fold strong, anal vein short, incomplete, delicate (Pl. 6, Fig. 15).

Genus RHYMOSIA, Winnertz Rhymosia, Winnertz, Verh. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, Vol. i3, p. 8io (29) (i863). Characters. — Head oval, vertex somewhat raised, front broad, narrowed anteriorly; eyes nearly circular, somewhat bulging ; ocelli three in number, the laterals large, closely contiguous to the eye margin, the middle one very minute, placed in a groove on the front, sometimes almost concealed ; palpi incurved, four jointed, first joint very small, the fourth longer than the three preceding; antennae 2-4-14 jointed, basal joints differentiated, setose at the apex, the flagellar joints cylindrical, compressed, pubescent. Thorax oval, highly arched; mesonotum short haired, usually only the margin with setae ; scutellum large, margin setose ; metanotum high, steep. Abdomen of the male six segmented, with small terminal segment and rather small forceps (Pl. 7, Fig. I 3), that of the female seven segmented, slender, constricted at the base, compressed, with short, stout ovipositor and a pair of terminal lamellae. Legs long and slender, tibiae with spurs and slender lateral setas. Wings oval, with rounded base, about as long as the abdomen, with microscopic setulae arranged in parallel longitudinal rows. Costa ends before the tip of the wing, meeting there the radial sector; subcosta very short, ending either free or in Rj ; fork of the media proximad or under the base of the ladial sector, petiole hence very short; cubitus usually forks, under or proximad of the proximal end of the R-M crossvein, its elongate fork narrow at the base then suddenly divergent ; anal vein very stout, rather long, though not reaching thejwing mar- gin; last anal vein long, slender, but incomplete (Pl. 6, Fig. I 6). The larvae live in fungi [Armil- laria and others). The elongate fork of the cubitus, narrow at the base and then suddenly divergent, will distin- guish this genus from most of the others; the strong though incomplete anal vein will distinguish it from those species of Allodia which have the long forked cubitus.

Characters. — Head round, flattened in front, placed low upon the thorax, front broad ; eyes round ; ocelli three in number, the laterals large, contiguous to the eye margin, the middle one very small, inagroove; palpi incurved, fourjointed, the first small, the fourth longest; antennas 2-I- 14 jointed, the basal joints differentiated, the flagellar joints cylindrical, pubescent. Thorax oval, highly arched ; mesonotum with depressed hairs, only the margin setose; scutellum large, with marginal setre. Abdomen of the male six segmented, with complex torceps (Pl. 7, Fig. I 4-, 15), the female abdomen with seven segments, slender, compressed, constricted at the base, with short ovipositor ending in two slender lamellae. Legs long and slender, all tibiae with long spurs and minute lateral setas. Wings shorter or not longer than the abdomen, oval, with rounded base, and with microscopic setulae arranged in parallel longitudinal rows. Costa ends some distance before the tip of the wing at the point where the radial sector terminates; subcosta very short and either ends free or in Rj; media forks under or distad of the base of the radial sector; cubitus forks proximad of the base of the fork of the media, and frequently even 104 DIPTERA proximad of the proximal end of the R-M crossvein; first anal vein delicate, short, incomplete {Allodia, Winnertz) or entirely wanting (Byachycampta, Winnertz), second anal delicate and incomplete. The characters given by Winnertz for distinguishing Allodia from Brachycampta are as follows : In Allodia (Pl. 6, Fig. I 8) the first anal vein though short is more or less distinet; in Brachy- campta (Pl. 6, Fig. I 7) it is wanting; in the latter the fork of the cubitus is sometimes formed as in Rhymosia, the base of the fork being retracted proximad of the proximal extremity of the R-M crossvein, while in Allodia this is not the case. These characters, while sufficient to separate most of the European species thus far described, fail utterly for some of the North American stili undescribed forms, and for this reason, the two genera are combined.

Characters. — Head round, flattened in front, the anterior margin of the thorax produced over it; front broad, its anterior margin produced into a triangle which descends to the base of the antennae; eyes small, round; ocelli small, laterals close to the eyes, the middle one very small, difficult to see, placed in a groove at the base of the frontal triangle; palpi incurved, four jointed, the first joint very small, the fourth longest; antennae nearly cylindrical, slender, somewhat arcuate, 2 + 14 jointed, the basal joints differentiated, the flagellar joints cylindrical, somewhat compressed, pubescent. Thorax oval, arched, anterior margin produced over the head, in profile forming a continuous curve with the head ; mesonotum pubescent, the lateral margins over the base of the wings and the posterior margin setose; scutellum semicircular, margin setose; mesonotum not high, steep. somewhat arched. Abdomen short, not slender, laterally compressed, very broad, strongl}^ constricted at the base, in the male six segmented, with small anal segment and small forceps; in the female seven segmented, the seventh I IO DIPTERA segment alvvays retracted, the ovipositor short, vvith two small lamellae. Legs strong, the hind pairlong, the fore and middle pairs short; coxae and femora compressed, broad; the tibiae somewhat clavate, with strong spurs; fore and middle pairs with one or two small setae on the extensor surtace, the middle pair usually with two or three on the flexor surface, the hind pair with two ranges of stout setae on the extensor surface; plantae of the hind tarsi ciliate with fine setulae. Wings longer than the abdomen, oval, wdth somewhat rounded base; surface with longitudinal rows of microscopic setulae.

DIPTEKA 1 16 Characters. — Head oval, flattened in front, placed very lovv on the thorax, so that in profile it makes a continuous curve vvith the thorax; front broad, the anterior margin produced into a triangle the apex of which reaching the base of the antennse; eyes oval, ocelli two in number, placed close to the eye margin; palpi incurved, four jointed, the first joint small, the fourth as long or longer than the third, usually slender, rarely oval (P|. I , Fig. I 0); antennse arcuate, 2 + 14 jointed, the basal joints differentiated, setose at the apex, the flagellar joints cylindrical, compressed, pubescent (Pl. I , Fig. 6). Thorax oval, highly arched, produced over the head, pubescent, the lateral margin and over the base of the wing with longer hairs, posterior margin setose; scutellum usually semicircular, its margin setose; metanotum highly arched. Abdomen of the male six segmented, anal segment usually small, forceps small (Pl. 7, Fig. I 7); that of the female seven segmented, more or less compressed, constricted at the base, ovipositor with two lamellas. Legs stout, the femora compressed; tibiae with spurs, fore tibiae with small setae on the outer side, middle tibias with two ranges of stout setae on the extensor surface, and one range on the inner side; hind tibiae with two or three ranges of long stout setae on the extensor surface; plantas of the hind tarsi ciliate with fine setul*. Wings somewhat longer than the abdomen, oval, its base more or less rounded, the microscopic setulae arranged in longitudinal rows. Costa not produced beyond the tip of the radial sector and does not reach the tip of the wing; subcosta very short, incomplete, curved tov/ard but not reaching the costa ; media forks under or proximad of the base of the radial sector, its petiole very short; fork of the cubitus proximad, under or sometimes even slightly distad of the fork of the media, its branches usually parallel on the apical half, rarely slightly convergent or divergent; first anal vein incomplete, the second usually stout, and incomplete (Pl. 6, Fig. 23, 24, abnormal). The flies of this genus are frequently found in woods and shrubbery wherever fungi grow, at all seasons except in midwinter. The larvae, which live in fungi and in rotten wood, possess transverse rows of microscopic ambulacral setulae upon the margins of the segments of the venter ; differing in this respect from the larvae of Phronia, Exechia, Rhymosia, and the like. The parallel branched cubitus, the two ocelli, and the stout tibial lateral setae will separate this genus from its nearest relatives. Type species : M. agarici, Meigen (i8o3).
