Abstract

The following descriptions of the species from Floridu have been taken from the manuscript of a supplementary list of the Diptera of Florida, which it seems undesirable to publish at present when so much still remains to be done on the insect fauna of that state.Macrocera floridana sp.nov.c.Head yellow, ocelli black, antennm brown, base yellow.Thorax yellow, with three broad shining brown stripes, the lateral ones shortened anteriorly.Abdomen yellow.HMteres and legs yellow, tarsi brown.Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with yellow, veins brown, single brown spot is present at the bases of the submarginal and first and second posterior cells; only a small portion of the spot is in the first posterior cell, the slight brownish tinge at the tip of the wing is entirely due to minute hairs.Length 4 mm.
