Charact,âFront broad, narrower anteriorly; not projecting in prolilc; rather densely baiiy upon the whole surface. Anttnnce of medium size; third joint oval, with a thin, bare arista. Face vertical, with a depression under each antenna; longitndiuiUy convex between these depressions ; clypi-us of a moderate transvei sh diameter, projecting considerably beyond the anterior edge ol the mouth, which is drawn upwards; prolwacis stout. Thorax with bristles ou its hind part only; scutellum convex, with four bristles. Femora of moderate length, strong, but not incrassate; all unarnicl. Winys comparatively short; submarginal and first posterior ihIIs broad; third longitudinal vein bent backwards towards its t-ml; the last section of the fourth longitudinal vein does not convi r^e towards the third ; posterior crossvein perpendicular; the postt-iiur angle of the anal cell rather acute. The species of this genus are rather stout, not metallic, oxcciit sometimes on the abdomen. The structure of the head nralls that of some Sciomyzidse, and is very like that of the two well- known species, described by Wiedemann as Ortalis tri/afrnita and atom aria; in their general appearance, the species of /:'//- platca are also not unlike the two latter species, but are cumIv distinguished by the first longitudinal vein being bare, i)y tlio posterior angle of the anal cell not being rounded as in these species and by the absence of the erect bristle before the end of tli(> upper side of the tibiae, a bristle which is always present in the latter species. 1.
