Length of the insect 10 J lines. Inhabits Upper India. Communicated to Col. Hearsey by Dr. Bacon. Observations.—This new species comes close to H. oUvacea, Guerin. (Westw. Arc. Ent. I. pi. 35,fig. 7 ; H. Surrya, Hope), ha\dng the same-formed mesosternal process. It is rather narrower, however,and especially differs in the structure of the head and in its highly-poKshed and smooth surface. /s. PLATE XVIII. (ORDER—DIPTERA. Section—Athehicera. Family—Muscidje.)
