Pipunculus Latr. Species of rather small to medium size, of dark, generally blackish or brownish, sometimes more greyish colours, rarely with yellow side spots on abdomen in the female. The head (fig. 3) is very large, semiglobular, as long or about as long as broad, it is not only broader but in all respects larger than thorax; behind it is very deeply excav- ated, but behind the eyes it is puffed out to a somewhat broad margin all round, this margin is finely hairy and along the edge between the puffed out part and the deep excavation there is a row of fine erect hairs. Eyes very large, occupying nearly the whole head, leaving only the margin along the eyes behind; the eyes are generally touching in the male, but in some species scarcely touching or in reality narrowly separated; in the female they are separated, but narrowly. In the male there is thus an elongated vertical and a similar frontal triangle which are narrowly connected in the species with the eyes separated. In the female vertex and frons form a narrow band with parallel borders or slightly widened in the middle and very finely hairy, the vertex bears three ocelli but there are no ocellar bristles.

Eyes practically bare; in the male the facets are very slightly enlarged on the whole front part, decreasing evenly in size towards the posterior margin, in the female the facets just on the front part of the eyes around the antennae are much to exceedingly enlarged. The antennae are inserted in the middle of the head quite near to each other, the third joint is oval, elongated oval, or somewhat reniform, more or less pointed below or here with a shorter or longer r
