Archive image from page 84 of Diptera from the Philippine Islands Diptera from the Philippine Islands dipterafromphili00oste Year: 1882 from the Pliili'ppine Islands. 229 short a little before the end of the first vein and then crosses the wing in a straight line, ending behind the end of the sixth vein; inside of the hyaline space enclosed by this arch, there is an angular figure of a paler brown, in the shape of a greek lambda, the tip of which is Fig. 9. Trypeta Cassandra. connected with the arch, the somewhat curved proximal branch covers the posterior crossvein and ends in the posterior margin, behind the fifth vein; the straight distal branch ends in the second posterior cell, behind the fourth vein. — A single male. NB. There is a distinct costal bristle; the anal cell is drawn out in a short, but well defined, thumblike point, the crossvein separating that cell fi'om third posterior forming a deep, retreating angle. The form of the anal cell, as well as the general shape of the wing and the venation are those of Ceratitis; but the bristles of the third vein are very small, and the fronto-orbital bristles are not expanded into lamels at the tip. For this reason I leave this species in the genus Trypeta, in the wider sense. Trypeta Alkestis n. sp. $. Yellowish-ferruginous; thorax with four dark brown stripes; the outer ones are interrupted at the suture and connected posteriorly, in front of the scutellum, with the corresponding inner stripe; a narrow black or brown longitudinal line in the middle of the mesonotum, between the two pairs of stripes; on each side, above and in front of the root of the wings, there are ves- tiges of short brown lines. Metanotum black on each side with a narrow yellowish-red space in the middle. Abdomen in the middle of each of the segments 1 — 3 with an arcuated black crossband, which reaches the lateral margins on both sides and is attenuated in the middle; the last segment is black, with but little reddish in the middl
