Meso- pleura bare. Abdomen not slender, black, diill; the very short hairs a little more visible at the hind margins of the segmenfcs, especially at the hind margin of sixth segment. Hypopygium small, with quite small hairs on the sides; below there is a somewhat large, yellow, flap-like ventral plate; anal tube small, brownish. Legs yellowish. Fig. 112. Wing of A. longicostalis (^. brown or brown, the front legs a little paler; hind femora darkened above and below, withoiit long hairs below; bristles on hind tibiæ small, numerous and hair-like. Wings brown, veins dark brown; the wings give the impression of being a little narrow; costa long, a little varying, but generally about 0,55 or more; costal divisions about as 8—7—3, thus 1 longer than 2, but shorter than 2 + 3; costal cilia very long; fork somewhat long, the angle rather large, varying, sometimes almost rectangular; fourth vein issuing behind the base of the fork, distinctly, but not much curved in its first part, for the rest slightly and evenly curved. Halteres yellow. Female. Similar; the lower supraantennals generally relatively a little smaller; costa relatively longer, to 0,60 of the wing-length, but also liere somewhat varying. Length. Fully 1 to 1,5 mm. I have determined this species as longicostalis Wood, and I think the determination correct; Wood has only one striking character, the long costa, which he gives to about ^U of the wing-length, but he knew only the female, which as seen abo
