. Fig. 10. Discomyza similis, n. sp., wing. Fig. 11. Ilythea fraclivirgata, n. sp., wing. 22. Ilythea fractivirgata, n. sp. Head. Profile very like I. spilota Curtis, except that the back of the head behind and below the eyes is not quite so swollen. Chsetotaxy the same but the bristles less strong. Antennae similar, but the third joint slightly smaller and the five aristal rays propor- tionately longer. In top view the head is not quite so flattened, and in front view the shining elongate central knob does not extend so far down to the mouth-margin. The frons is shining, while the face, jowls and lower eye-margins are dusted with grey. The palpi are long, thin and pale with a few bristles near the end; tongue yellow with a bent-back tip. Thorax. Dorsum and scutellum shining blue-black, slightly dusted : as far as can be seen the chastotaxy is normal, but the bristles are again proportionately weaker. Wings as in Fig. 11, with remarkable interrupted blackish transverse bands, three in number. Halters yellow. Legs all yellow. 41—2
