from the Philippine Islands. 91 tropesa singularis Schiner, Novara, Tab. II, f. 2 b, (South America), which I also refer to the Limnohina anomala, has the same crossveins in the marginal cell, the same contact between the submarginal and distal cells, and, like Mongoma, four posterior cells; but the submarginal cell is much shorter, and the position of the marginal crossvein, with regard to the discal cell, somewhat different. The species, P. singularis does not have the length of legs, nor the light, aerial structure of Mongoma; it has distinct empodia, which Mongoma has not. Erioceraperennisnsip. Q. Five posterior cells; body black; abdomen with four yellow crossbands; wings brown, with a yellowish-white crossband. Length 15 mm. ; Q. (without ovip) 18 mm. Head gray, beset with black pile; antennae yellowish -tawny, the tips brownish. Thorax brownish-black, more brown on the pleurae, beset with black pile; halteres blackish. Abdomen black; segments 2 — 5 each with a broad reddish -yellow crossband at the base; it is broadest on the 2 segment, and narrowest on the S, where it occupies about one half of the breadth of the segment. The forceps (somewhat injured in the specimen), seems to be brownish, the appendages at the tip are black. The segment bearing the ovipositor is red. Coxae black, femora yellowish -tawny with black tips; tibiae tawny with black tips; tarsi brownish tawny, the tips of the joints darker. Wings brown, yellowish at base, which color extends some distance along the costa, between the costal and the first vein; a yellowish-white crossband between the first and fifth veins, touching the proximal ends of the second submarginal and distal cells; an ill -defined yellowish-white space at the proximal end of the axillary cell. Five posterior cells; the petiole of the second rather long. Marginal crossvein about the middle of the distance between the proximal end of the first submarginal cell and the tip of the first vein; the tip of the auxiliary vein almost opposite this crossvein. (I do not perceive this crossvein in my male specimen; I suppose that this absence is accidental). — One male, one female. NB. Two other specimens are a little smaller and have the legs and the antennae almost uniformly brown; the yellow crossbands on the abdomen are narrower, that on the second segment occupying only the proximal half of the segment; the yellow color at the base of the wings does not reach very far. Still another specimen (Q) resembles those two but has the base of the femora and of the antennal flagellum yellow, and more yellow at the root of the wings. I suppose they are all varieties of JE. perennis. I also have some specimens
92 C R. Osten Sacken: Diptera which do not seem to have any yellow crossbands on the abdomen at all; but their abdomen is very much shrivelled and cannot be well examined. Eriocera mansueta n. sp. Q, Five posterior cells; body black-, genitals orange red; a yellow crossbands on the second abdominal segment; wings brown with a white crossband. Length about 12 mm. Body brownish-black; antennae brownish-yellow, darker at base and sometimes at tip; a yellow crossband occupies the proximal half of the second abdominal segment; the other segments are shining at the base, velvet black, opaque on their distal half; genitals orange-red, as well as the segment bearing the ovipositor. Halteres dark -brown. Legs brown. Wings brown, with a white crossband between the first and fifth veins, close by the proximal end of the discal cell. Second posterior cell unusually small, and its petiole long in proportion. (I should not wonder if specimens occurred with only four posterior cells). — Two males, one female. NB. The antennae of this species and of IE. perennis in the male, are of the short kind; not much longer than in the female. — Tipula pedata (Wied. A. Z. I, 45; Java). Two specimens from the Philippine Islands answer the description, with some exceptions: Ein kleiner, fast viereckiger Flecken des Mittelfeldes" does not exist here. The thorax has three brown stripes; the middle one bears a longitudinal brown line. The front femora have a yellowish -white ring before the tip. The antennae are reddish-brown, the joints of the flagellum dark -brown or black at base. I do not recognize Wiedemann's description of the abdomen. Normal specimens of T. pedata must be compared in order to decide of the specific identity. This species has the complete venation of Tipula; the only peculiarity consists in the close approximation of the auxiliary vein to the first vein; it is with some difficulty that the auxiliary vein can be seen at all. — The antennae are 13 -jointed, the nasus distinct, the tibiae provided with short spurs etc. Pachyrrhina laconica n. sp. . The black thoracic stripes are confluent; collare black; metanotum black in the middle, yellow on the sides; abdomen black, with yellow crossbands on segments 2 — 4. Length about 15 mm. (without ovip)
from the Philippine Islands. 93 Head, including rostrum, bright-yellow; antennae and palpi brownish-yellow. Collare velvet-black; thoracic dorsum black (the usual three stripes being confluent); moderately shining; a large yellow spot each side on the humeri; a smaller one between the thoracic suture and the black scutellum; metanotum with a broad brownish -black longitudinal stripe in the middle; yellow on the sides. Pleurae brownish-black, with several yellow spots: a large one between the root of the wings and the collare; a smaller one near the root of the halteres; a third one above the middle coxae. Halteres yellow. Coxae black, legs brown. Abdomen black; basal half of segments 2 — 4 yellow; at the base of the fifth segment also, some yellow is visible; the segment bearing the ovipositor, and the narrow one which precedes it, are yellowish-ferruginous. Wings with a pale brownish tinge, more saturate in the costal cell; stigma brown; second post. c. in contact with the distal. — One female. Pachyrrhina ortiva n. sp. . Black thoracic stripes confluent; collare yellow in the middle; metanotum yellow, with a black spot posteriorly; abdomen black, with yellow crossbands on segments 2 — 3. Length about 13 mm. (without vii) — Head and rostrum bright orange-yellow; a well defined deep black spot on the occiput; antennae yellow, joints of the flagellum, except the first, black at base. Collare yellow in the middle, black on the sides; the usual thoracic stripes coalescent, shining black; a large yellow humeral triangle, has its lower hind angle cut off by the humeral furrow; a small yellow spot between the thoracic suture and the scutellum. Metanotum yellow; a large black transverse spot on its hind margin. Pleurae mixed of black and yellow, the black forming an irregular triangle in the middle. Halteres brownish-red. Abdomen black; segments 2 — 5 yellow, each with a large semi-circular spot (or crossband attenuated on each side) occupying the whole hind margin ; the segment bearing the ovipositor and the narrow segment preceding it, are yellowish-ferruginous. Coxae yellow, with more or less black at the base, especially on the last pair. Legs more or less dark tawny; tips of femora and tibiae brown. Wings with a pale brownish tinge, which is more saturate in the costal cell and more diluted beyond the stigma; a slight brown shadow at the tip; stigma brown; Petiole of the second post. c. very short. — Two females. NB. At first sight, this species is very like the preceding one; it will be easily distinguished by the color of the metanotum and collare and other characters. Ctenophora suspirans n. sp. . — Wings brown, with a white spot in the middle; scutellum black. — Length 14 — 15 mm.
from the Philippine Islands. 97 Tabanidae. Haematopota lunulata (Macq) v. d, Wulp, Sum. Exp. Tab. I, f. 14. Haematopota sp? All the specimens before me have the design on the wings like the above-quoted figure of Mr. v. d. Wulp; but some of them have the antennae reddish, except the latter part of the 3 ' joint, which is black; and, at the same time, two whitish rings on the hind tibiae; the other group of specimens has altogether black antennae and only one white ring near the base of the hind tibiae. Neither of them agrees entirely with Macquart's description. Chrysops signifer Walk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc V, 277 (Batchian). I found the species thus determined and the specimens ( Q ) agree with the description. They vary in size very much. About Chr. unizonalis Rond. I took the following note when I saw the type in Genoa, a single specimen: very like signifer Wk, only face altogether yellow; first abdominal segment yellow. May be only a paler variety" Chrysops dispar (Fab) Wied. A. Z. I, 196. I believe C impar Rond. Ann. M, C. Gen. VII, 460, to be the same as dispar; I have seen the types. Tab anus. There are about a dozen species in the collection, most of which it would hopeless to recognize among the 120 described species of this genus from South-eastern Asia, as they show no striking distinctive characters. Five of the species belong in the group with a very narrow () front, and a narrow frontal callus, coalescing with a linear prolongation above, a group abundantly represented in the Austro-malayan Archipelago. Three species have the front and callus of the ordinary structure, and resemble, in their coloring, some european and N. American species. The two following species deserve a special mention. Tab anus van der Wulpi n. sp. Q. Syn. Tabanus pictipennis v. d, Wulp, Tijdschr. v. Ent. XI, 100, Tab. Ill, f. 1, 2 (Celebes). Mr. V. d. Wulp's figure of this species is unmistakable; some discrepancies in the description are due to the fact, that he had a general, and therefore not fully colored individual. I owe this explanation to himself, after he had kindly compared one of my specimens with his own type. The name pictipennis being preoccupied by Macquart XXVI. Heft I. 7

Volume 116, Number 5, November and December 2005 343 As for the botanical source of amber from Burma, Grimaldi et al. (2002) indicated that “Metasequoia is possibly the source of the amber” [modern classifications tend to place Metasequoia in the Cupressaceae (Judd et al., 2002)]. Studies with solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using carbon 13 nucleus suggest that burmite and other fossil resins belong to a large, worldwide assemblage (fossile resin Group B, Lambert and Poinar 2002). Some of the Group B resins perhaps belong in the Dipterocarpaceae (modern resins, Group D, Lambert et al., 2002), although this has not been firmly established. Modern geographic sources for Group B fossil resins include Borneo, Sumatra, Australia, Papua New Guinea, India, and North America. Nevertheless, Group B fossil resins are spectroscopically distinct from the partially sympatric Agathis-related plants (fossil resins, Group A of Lambert et al., 2002; mod-ern resins, group CA, Cupressaceae and Araucariaceae of Lambert et al., 2005). Figs. 2. A second flower in Burmese amber showing their possibly entomophillous traits. Note tubular gynoecium (g), abundant pilosity ℗ , and possible food sources (fs). Both flowers illustrated in this paper are deposited in the private collection of Ron T. Buckley. A handful of flowers has been described from younger amberiferous formations, such as those from the Dominican Republic and/or the Baltic region, including the families Aracaceae (Bogner 1976), Arecaceae (Poinar 2002), Fagaceae (Mai 2003), and Leguminosae (Poinar and Brown, 2002). Interestingly, no flowers have yet been described from Lebanese amber (Poinar and Milki 2001), which is Aptian (Grimaldi et al., 1993) to Hauterivan (Roth et al., 1996) in age, approximately 120-135 Ma, although most localities appear to be closer to 120 Ma (Labandeira to Santiago-Blay,
