Archive image from page 70 of Diptera from the Philippine Islands Diptera from the Philippine Islands dipterafromphili00oste Year: 1882 from the Philippine Islands. 215 with an ill-defined ending. The second and third veins are almost coalescent at their bases and begin to diverge only a short distance before the end of the auxiliary vein; in their further course, they are unusually near each other, as well as to the costa, thus forming rather narrow marginal and submarginal cells. The fourth vein is compara- tively distant from the third, and hence, the first basal cell is unu- sually broad at its proximal end; the anterior crossvein forms a straight Fig. 3. Antineura stolata. line with the posterior one, the latter having its usual position; hence, the anterior crossvein becomes unusually long, of about the same length as the posterior. The end of the fourth vein is gently curved towards the third. The fifth and sixth veins are nearly straight. The second basal and anal cells are of moderate size and of equal length; the crossveins closing them are straight; the lower distal angle of the anal cell is slightly obtuse. The general habitus and the coloring of Antineura as well as many details of its structure, prove its relationship to Stenopterina; its position in the same group is also proved by the absence of the prothoracic and sterno-pleural bristles. The differences are obvious, and consist principally in the structure of the head (Stenopt. has a large clypeus, a narrower, hardly prominent front, a face concave in profile, fronto-orbital bristles etc.) and the venation (indistinct auxi- liary v„ position of anterior crossvein ejtc.) The name Antineura alludes to the position of the crossveins. Antineura stolata n. sp. $ Q. Metallic greenish-blve, thorax with faint gray stripes; femora brown, mixed with red; length 13—16 mm.
