Gen. NERUA, n. g.
_Foem. Corpus_ longiusculum, sublineare. _Caput_ transversum, thorace
non latius. _Antennae_ breves; articulus tertius rotundus; arista
apicalis, longa, tenuis, setiformis. _Thorax_ productus. _Scutellum_
spinis quatuor longiusculis. _Abdomen_ depressum, sublineare, thorace

Gen. ADRAGA, n. g.
_Mas. Corpus_ sublineare. _Caput_ thorace non latius. _Oculi_ connexi.
_Antennae_ brevissimae; articulus tertius rotundus; arista apicalis,
gracilis, setiformis. _Thorax_ sutura transversa bene determinata.
_Scutellum_ prominens, trigonum, marginatum. _Abdomen_ thorace paullo
brevius, non latius. _Pedes_ breviusculi, validi, non dilatati. _Alae_
mediocres.
_Male_. Body nearly linear, rather thick. Head not broader than the
