. Diptera : Lonchaeidae, Sapromyzidae, Ephydridae, Chloropidae, Agromyzidae. Diptera. Fig. 31. Agromyza camdidipennis, n. sp., wing. Fig. 32. Agromyza similis, n. sp, wing. 55. Agromyza similis, n. sp. This species is very closely allied to the Palasarctic A. ceneiventris Fallen. Head. In general outline and chaetotaxy much as the last species except that the eyes are slightly less high in proportion to their breadth; the facial pit is also flatter at the bottom. The arista is distinctly pubescent ( x 45). The lunula is not evident, being sunk in with the rest of the face just above the antenn
