(to which Geomyza, Fall., may be added), has the body less elongate, and the abdomen ter-minated by an articulated style. Tetayutra and Tain/peza, Meig., are allied to the preceding; the legs in both seem longer* and the abdomen ofTetanura is obtuse at the tip, and that of Tanypeza pointed or stylate in the females. Lonchopteray Meig., has the face bristly at the sides, and the basal joint of tlie antennae is verv slender; thewings have no transverse nerve, except close to the base. The body in the other Scatomyzides is thicker and more oblong, and its form is more like that of the (House-fly. HeleoiJiyzGy Fall., has the head bristly. Dryomyza, Fall, (with the face concave beneath the antennae), and Sapromyza, Fall, (with it straight), differ from the following in having the antennal seta plumose.

The larva; of OicinUpumilioiiis and lineala, Fab., are equally obnoxious. They constitute our genus Oicinit, Latr., to which we add the genus Chloropi,Meig., and Piop/iila, Fallen.
