Fig. 35.— Tricliopezafusca, Erun. large, long, pointed basally, about equal in length to 2nd posterior cell; 1st basal cell a little longer than 2nd, which latter is about as long as anal cell; halteres yellow. Length, 3 mm.; wing, 4| mm. Described from a unique $ in the Indian Museum from Kurseong, 25. iii. 1910 {Gravely). The pecuUar nature of the autennse ought easily to distinguish this species from all otiier Indian Empid-D. Subfamily TACHYDROMIIN^. Head with eyes more variable than in the other subfamilies, generally separated above the antennse in both sexes ; below they may be contiguous or separated ; when contiguous below, the frontal facets ma}^ or may not be larger than the others ; in some genera the eyes microscopically pubescent. Proboscis short, sometimes curved ; palpi 1-jointed. Antennse S-jointed, with a styliform ai'ista of one or two joints. often nearly as broad as long ; metapleura bare, or with very short hairs. Legs of varying lengths ; sometimes the fore femora or four anterior femora thickened, in which case the four anterior legs are raptorial: middle tibiae sometimes with a spine. Wings with axillary lobe more or less developed ; 3rd and 4th longitudinal veins simple ; tliree posterior cells; no discal cell ; lower branch of 5th vein present or absent; basal cells rather large, subequal
