In the families of the second group, collections have been formed, a certain number of earlier descriptions have been identified and synonymies made out; many new species were described; but a monographic treatment is still wanting. Such families are the Asilidae (with the exception of the section Asiliua), the Jhmhylidac, Syrphidac, Tipulidae hnyipalpi; also tlie I'jujudac, Midaldac, Cyrtidac, Bihionidae, Mycctophdidae and a number of the smaller families among the Muscidae nmhjptcrae. 3. In the families of the third group, collections have been formed, but they are, for the most part, not named. The Catalogue, in such families, is a mere compilation of references to descriptions by earlier writers. Such families are: the Cidicidae, Chironomidac, Cunopidae, the whole group of Muscidae mhjptcrac and the section AsiUna. CoLtEcnoN OF TYPE-SPECiMEN.s. A difference between the old and the new Catalogue, perhaps more important than that already explained, consists in the fact, that the majority of the siiecies I':'. I .■ i;r \TII PREFACE. ennroerated in the new Catalogue, are rcprcaentfd in a colkctlon. The collection of diptcra of the Museum of Comparative ZolHogy io Cambridge, Mass., contains what may bo called the typical ftperimens of this Catuli>Kuc, that is the types of the descriptions published by Mr. Locw and by myself, as well as the sjiccie^ identified by him or by mo, from earlier descriptions. That collection thus contains a little over 2000 named and descriliel species of diptera from North America *j, north of Mexico, besides a considerable accumulation of unnamed and undescribed materiaU. In that collection the american dipterolo;jtist now possesses an advantage not shared by his Euro])ean colleagues, and that is, of having very nearly all the typical specimens, necessary for his work, collected in the same spot, It is highly desiraole that this advantage should, as far as possible, bo maintained, and that descril>ers of new species should deposit their types in the same Museam, which oifers the best guarantees of their permanent preservation. Sixty years ago, Wiedemann (in the first cha|)ti'r of bis Magazin tUr Zoologiei, foreseeing the future difHculties of dipterulo;,;y. suggested the foniaiion of a central, or as he calk'J it, normal Museum, in some Kuropean city, to contain types of all the described species; no new species were to bo publisliod, wiihoot previous comparison in that Museum. May the Museum in Cambridge realize that idea for America! LiTTHATiRE. The literary references, which I give in tho notes, are not meant to be a complete index of dipterological literature, but merely a guide to beginners, who might be easily dctem'd by the preliminary work to be gone through, before attempting the study of any family. Those who intend to go deeper into the subject will have to form a more complete index for themselves, by looking over the yearly entomological Rwrords**;, as well as the works in the libraries. That tiio majority of the i)apers quoted by me are those of Dr. Loew, arises from the fact that for the last 30 years he was the prin- •) These species are marked with a star in the Catalogue. •*> A yearly Record on the progress of entomolngy is published io Getmany since 1:^3^, in \Yiegmauu'8 Arcbiv lUr Zoologie.

The systematic distribution of the diptera and the natural affinities of some of the larger and smaller groups, are still matters of uncertainty. 1 have preserved, with slight modi- tirations, the arrangement adopted by the most recent writers. It lias the advantage of alapting, as much as possible, the division in Otihorhupha anpcies, publislied by me as new, in my Western D'ipicrn. California partakes of this relationship , and shows , at the same time, sin- gular and unexpected coincidences with Euroi)e, not shared by the eastern United States. Future dcscribers of western aud southern species will have to bear these facts in mind. Localities. The scope of this work did not allow much detail in the matter of localities. Still, as much as the given space allowed, I have inserted the data which I possessed on the subject. Describers of insects, and especially of exotic forms, are often very careless about statements of tliat kind. It is very probable, for instance that many species, described by Macquart as coming from Philadelphia or Baltimore, were merely sent from those cities, but collected somewhere else; some of these species have since been received from Texas only. It is to be hoped that future describers will be more accurate about localities and their altitudes. California and Mexico, in different altitudes, contain several dit?erent faunas and the study of the geograi)hical distribution of insects would reach very erroneous conclusions, if it did not discriminate between these faunas. Species common to Europe and to north America. A very con- siderable number of European species is also found in North America, without belonging in the number of imported insects. Some of the species, common to both continents, do not show any perceptible differences ; in others, a difference exists, but not such as could be considered a specific character. And thus, by gradations, a point is reached, where the specific difference be- comes evident*). A careful study of almost any sjjecies, con- sidered as identical, may niicxpectedly disclose a minute, but sometimes important distinctive character. Hence all the species of tlie class in question nuist be considered as open to challenge. *) About the species common to both continents, and the gradations occuning in the specific differences, compare Loew, in Siiliman's Journ., Vol XXXViI, p. 317. 11 ^4 "7%. ' 'if XII PBEFACE. Authors differ in their mode of treatment of species, the identity of which is doubtful; some prefer at once to describe them as new, others assume the identity, until the difference is proved. For several reasons of a purely practical kind, I prefer tlie latter method, thus following the principle, laid down by Fabricius (Philos. entomologica) : Locus natalis speciem nunqitam distingnit. Once described as a new species, without indication of its distinctive characters, the species escapes attention; on the con- trary, it invites one's notice and challenges criticism, as long as it is quoted as common to both continents. A time will come when it will be possible to subject that whole class of species to a thorough comparative study. ■i: !l'v Synontmt, It has been my effort throughout to make sure, as much as possible, that every name, which figures in the list, should actually represent a different species. This is reached, in a certain measure, for the fauna north of Mexico (with the exception, of course, of those families, which have not been worked at all : the Muscidae calypterae etc.). To attain this result, I have /u>7, made out a number of synonymies by means of an attentive reading of the descriptions; and, secondly, I have visited the Museums in London, Paris, Lille, Berlin, Frankfort, Darmstadt, Turin and Vienna, and have seen the types of descriptions, which they contain. Any one, who has visited public Museums for the purpose of examining types of descriptions, knows, that even under tho most favorable circumstances, that kind of work is not like work done at home (especially in the difficult families). Moreover, the study of types of descriptions must be based upon a previous knowledge, and a thorough one, of the corresponding species. As I had no collection with me for comparison, and had to rely on my memory, and as my knowledge in the different families of diptera is very unequal, and, in some of them very email, I am far from having exhausted the study of the North American types, contained in those Museums. I am also far fioni believing, that what I made out is always free from error. Those who in future will take up single families for monographic work, are therefore strongly recommended not to take for granted the PREFACE. xm synonymies which I give, but to form an opinion for themselves. For synonymies, which are borrowed from other authors, the authority is always quoted in brackets []; synonymies without Ruch a quotation, are my own. NoMENCtATTTRE AND PRIORITIES. Readers of the Catalogue will often find, among the synonyms, names which, according to rule, should have the priority, being of earlier date than the adopted specific name. In such cases, I havf discriminated between my roles of a monographer and of a catalogue-maker. In those families, which I have described monographically (Tipulklae hrrvi- palpi, Tahanidae, the genus Syt-phus), I have settled the syno- nymy in a way that, as far as my knowledge goes, I consider as final. In other portions of the Catalogue, the question con- stantly arose, whether to substitute uncertainty, for certainty, that is, whether specific names by Loew, the types of which exist in the collection of the Museum of Comparative ZoOlogy, had to be replaced by their more or less probable synonyms from Messrs. Macciuart's and Walker's writings? In such cases I have generally given Dr. Loew's names the first place, leaving the question of priority open for the monographer of the future. In the few cases, where I have acted differently, I have given my reasons in a note. liikewise, as a catalogue-maker, I have not replaced current names by some older ones, which I happened to have discovered; the latter will be found in the synonymy. Thus, in looking over the Banksian collection in London, I found that the undoubted type of Fabricius's Laphria grossa, is nothing but tlio common L. tcrgissa Say. In the same way, Chrt/sops rariciintiis Degeer, is the older name for the wellknown Chrijsops costutiis from Cuba, and Milesia virginicnsis Drury, the earlier name for Jf. ornata Fab. All these names, not being current, will be found in the synonymy. Considerations of the same kind hive influenced me in the matter of generic names. The name Anastrcpha Schiner, although earlier than Acrotoxa Loew, will be found among the synonyms, because it belongs to the future mondgrapher of the Tnjpdidae to make changes in an existing monograph. I have but sparingly .< . • " 1 'n. ■1 H XIV PBEFACE. 'i \f S i i III- ■1^ given synonymies of generic names, and only as fa. as I have been able to verify them; merely copying previous authors I have avoided, as much as possible. These synonymies will be found very well worked out in Schiner's : Fauna Austriaca, Diptera. In looking over Agassiz's Index and Marschall's Nomcndatur many generic names were found to have been preoccupied in other departments of Zoology, Messrs. Harold and Gemminger (in their Catalogue of Colcoptera) thought that such names could, without inconvenience, be maintained, provided they did not occur in the same order of insects. In order to obviate the possible drawbacks of such a couise, without losing its advantages, I hit upon the expedient of modifying such names by the addition of the syllable Kco. Kine generic names have been modified in that way. I do not pretend to impose the names thus forme*! on dipterology for ever, and look upon them in the light of a postponement of a change. A satisfactory and tolerably permanent settlement of many generic groups among the diptera still belongs to a distant future. It does no good therefore, to add scores of new generic names to the large number of useless ones already in existence. Such generic names, that are not absolutely identical, but merely resembling, I did not alter. I share the belief of the above quoted authors that such names can, without any inconvenience, remain in use simultaneously, not only in different clasacs of animals, but even in different orders of insects. For this reason, I have not altered Lasiosoma Winnertz, 1863 (Lasiosomus, Ilemipt. 1861), Enparyplius Gerstaecker, 1857 (Euparyjlia Mollusca, \M\) , Vhortica Schiner, 1802 (Phorticus, Ilemiiit., 1860), Euxesta Loew, 1867 (Euxestus Coleopt., 1858), lirachy- dctitcra Loew, 1862 (Brachydcuterus, Fishes, 1862), EuoJctia Loew, 1873 (Evolenes, Coleopt., 1853), Feromjma Loew, 1873 (Peronymus, Volitantia, 1868), /S't/w^jycMMS Loew, 1857 (Sympycna. Neuropt., 1840), Eurosta Loew, 1873 (Eurostus Hemipt. 1863), and some others. I have not changed any names on philological grounds, but have adopted some few changes proposed by others, and which I considered reasonable. Mil:: PREFACE. XV Types of fabricius, macquaht, wiedkmanx axd wai.keb. North American tyi)cs of Fabricius, which must be preserved in his collection in Kiel, I have not seen. Most of them have been redcscribed by Wiedemann. A few of tlie tyies of Fabricius in the Banksian collection, in the British Museum, also in the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes in Pa;-is, 1 have been able to identify. The majority of "Wiedemann's North American types are preserved in tlie Zoological Musenm in Vienna; but there are some few in the JIuseura in Berlin; and also in \N'esteniiann's collection iu Copenhagen. The types of the Museum in Vienna are contained in three different collections : the general collection, the so-called collection of Wiedemann, and the collection of W^inthem. This is in accordance with the statements of Wiedemann at the end of his descriptions („im Wiener JIuseum", „in nieiner Sanimlung" and „iu V. Winthem's Sammlung"). The original distribution of the types between these three collections, has not, however, been preserved intact; a large number of tyjies from Wiedemann's collection is now found in v. ^^inthem's, and in som.; ca.ses even the type, taken from Wiodemann's collection, has been replaced by another, wrongly named specimen*). There is no doubt that this transfer of specimens took place at the time, when both collections were owned by v. Wintliem. He must have begun the work of incon orating Wiedemann'^ *) Tims the type of Tnhnnnit UdmrnriUii is not in Wiedemann's cnllpctinn, where it sliouid liave been, but in v. Winthem's; the T. Pciiiwardtii at present found in Wiedemann's collection is an entirely ditVerent species. Exactly the same is the case with the type of AkiIuh livs, with a red thorax. ^Ir. NValkcr's Thc.cva platjUita is the well-known S*ichopoffon trifasciatus ; liis AsiiJitliihnn tcmiiprs is lilq:haroccra capitata Locw; and the common Cordi/hira hi- mactihita is described as Lissa varijycs. When such blunders are committed with as striking and easily recognizable forms, as Dilophus or Blepharocera, what can be expected from Mr. Walker in the discrimination of species in such genera as Culrx, liibio, Chiysops, Tabanus, AntUomyia and the smaller acalypterous Muscidae! These doings were not confined to the North American portion of the collections, which Mr. Walker had under his care. To quote a single instance, the Mtisca Alvta n. sp. List etc.IV, p. 911; (the pa/»-Jo is given as „Lapland?", nBYanceV"), is rei)reseiited in the British Museum by sciwn specimens, which are nothing but our old friend Stumoxys cahHnins; an eighth specimen is an Anthomyia. The passage at the end of the de- scription: „In one w'lig of an insect of this species, the lower cross-vein sends forth a stump into the disc" , refers to this latter specimen, and this passage proves that Mr. Walker looked with some attention a^ it, without perceiving that it belonged to a different, and very easily distinguishable genus, and even to a different family! ^Ir. Walker's identifications of the spec'es of former authors are often , I may say in most cases , incorrect. Thus , when in his description of Tuhanus imltans Walker, he compares it to T. abdom'malis , I'abr., he means T. fuscopunclatiis , Mucq. \vliich he took for ahdominalis. These facts are given as a warning for entomologists not to trouble themselves too much about the interpretation of Mr. Walker's descriptions , because in most cases, they will find tlieniselves misled by ilic very data furnished by him. And it k fi-V i^ I" r, ■ n ] XVIII PRKFAfE. is for this reason, that in several genera, in the clioice of whirh I liave been governed by considerations of expediency, 1 liavo enumerated Mr. Walker's species separately, at the end of those genera. What prevented me from carrying out a more complete revision of ^Ir. Walker's tyi)es, was my want of knowledge in many of the families. As I said above, a great deal remains to be done by others. The (lucstion has sometimes been raised whether Mr. Walker's descriptions ]iave any claim to priority at all? In my opinion they have, v,hcn<,ver they are recognizable; but they have none, whenever their title to priority can be established only by reference to the type of the description. The characters of some species arc so well marked, that a super- ficial description of a single specimen is sufficient for the recog- nition of the species ; on the contrary, in other &, '^cies, some- times in whole genera and families, the specific characters do not lie on the surface, but must be known beforehand or found out. Is such cases ^Ir. Walker, or any other describer of liis type, merely describe the specimen, not the species; they do not know the species again, when they see it; consequently, the name they give to that specimen has no scientific meaning at all, and, it seems to mo, no claim to priority. A case in point are the North American Dolkliopodidac , described by Mr. 'Walker. The elaborate and painstaking criticisms of these descrii)tions by Dr. Loew (Monogr. etc. Vol. II), prove, that Mr. Walker, either from want of knowledge or from carelessness, did not pay the slightest attention to those characters which serve to distinguish the species of Dolichopus from each other, so that of the twenty -six so-called species, described by him, itot a single one could be recognized. Now I ask whether it would be expedient, with Mr. Loew's monograph in hand, to determine Mr. Walker's type-specimens and then to grant to the names, attached to those types, the priority over Mr. Loew's names? I do not think so, and, for this reason, I would not undertake that task, even if it were possible*). The same reasonin,' *) Many of Dr. Walker's species of Dolichopus are represented by female specimens, which it would be impossible to determine. PKKKACE. XIX apjilies to Mr. Walker's »lcscriiifions in the gonora Clniinnps and Tithtnius. A careful study of tliese descriptions convinced me of tlieir usclessnoss; the examination of Mr. Walker's types sliowcd, that in most cases, he did not know his own species a^'iiiii, that he described the same species several times in succession (the descriptions being sometimes by the side of each other in his works), that the confused specimens of different species in the same description. Under such circumstances; I (lid not feel justified in upsetting the nomenclature introduced by nic in my monograph. The authorities of the British IMuseum, in a most praise- worthy, and truly scientific spirit, have bestowed a great deal of labor upon preserving and labelling Jlr, Walker's types. 15iit the task of singling out the original type of the description, from among the specimens added afterwards, is by no means an easy one, often hardly possible. Furthermore, it is a well- known fact that authors are apt not to be very careful with their own types; to remove and diplace them, when made aw:irc of an error; and Mr. Walker, in this respect, was not an exception. Neither his, nor any other types can, therefore Ic implicitly relied upon, and we have, ultimately, to fall back on the descriptions. — In rescuing those of Mr. Walker's de- scriptiQns, which are available and in rejecting the renninder, as useless , we pursue , I think , a course consistent both with justice and scientific expediency. •i. ' ' :■■# The number op descrihed north American diptkba. The number of described Colcoptera from North America, north of Mexico, in Mr. Crotch's Check List is 7450. It is impossible to make a similar statement for the diptera, because, as ex- perience has shown, most of the earlier descrii)tions arc entirely unavailable and represent species which exist merely on paper. Tiie number of described diptera from North America, north of ^lexico, contained in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Ciimbridge, Mass., is a little over 2000. The number of available, but not jet identified, descriptions of earlier authors is not large; and thus we may safely assume that, excluding the 4? 'i ,, -.m^■■: • ( ■ *;;j! ..m Ml XX PUKI'AOE. unavailaMe dcscriittions , the number of described diptcra of North America, north of Mexico, will hardly reach 2500. Hut the undcsci'ibed materials, accumulated in the collections, if worked up, would largely increase, perhaps double, that nun» er. Considering the little attention hitherto paid to the order of diptera, these figures seem to jtrove that the number of existing species of diptci'a in North America will easily reach and per- haps exceed the number of Coleoptera. The futuke of American diptekologt. Of all orders of insects, the diplera offer probably the most difficulties to the dcscribcr. The reason lies in the minuteness of the characters, on which generic and specifics distinction are based. In consequence of this difii- culty, there is and was more blundering in this order of insects than in any other, and the mischief done by the incompetent is greater here, than in any other order. By ivcompdcvt I do not merely mean those, who know little or nothing about diptera; I mean even dipterologists who attempt to write about a family of dijttera before having made a special study of it. And in this respect, every one of us, in the course of his career, is often tempted to do some work, which he is incompetent to perform, and every one of us has, some time or other, actually done such work. In order to preserve, as much as possible, American dip- terology against the evils of incompetence, I attempted, several years ago, to draw up some recommendations as to the best course to pursue in that study (in A. S. Packard's Ilecord of American entomology for 1808). As these recommendations have lost nothing of their appropriateness, I may be allowed to reproduce them here. „If I am asked now what the desiderata for the future of this branch of science in America are, I would answer : „1. Continue the publication of North American diplera in monographs." „2. Avoid as much as possible the publication of detached sjxcies, cither singly, or in numbers." • rnEFAcE. XXI ,TIje cases wlien the publicalion of detacliod ppocies of I)i|itcia can be really useful in tlio present state of nnieriran (liiitorology nro rare, and will easily suggest themselves to the good sense of the unprejudiced.'' flConsciencious monographs are always useful." „Let monographs bo prepared of the families of diptera on the same plan as the monograph of the DoVuhijunlUUtr by Dr. Loew, or of tho Tipulidne by me. Let the series of these inoiin(!rai)hs begin with the larger forms and the more numerous families, as the Tabanidae*), the Asilidae, the Stratiomyidae, tlio Bombylidac, the P^mpidae etc. Such a basis being laid with those families, the study of which is comparatively easy, tlic difficult ones, as the Chironomidae, the Culicidae antl the mniiorous groups of tho Muscidae, will follow. The study of tlifse difficult families must be the work of specialists. Mr. Wiimcrtz, of Crefeld, Prussia, devoted more than twenty-five years to the study of the genus Ceratopogon , the genus Cn-i' (lowii'm and the family MycctophiVHlac. During that long period of jiatient collecting, drawing and describing, he published only four monographs of moderate size. And it is certain that, without such patient collecting, drawing and describing for a numlicr of years, any monograph of such genera as Cnatopoyon or Sviara would have been worthless. Diptera are not like the otiicr orders of insects, where a superficial comparison of two specimens enables one, in most cases, to decide, whether they lelong to the same species or not. Each family of diptera requires a special study and a dipterologist may be very well versed in some families, without being able to express any opinion with regard to questions, concerning others." „Specialization is therefore the motto of dipterology. Amateurs may collect and name diptera, but do not let them jiulilish anything, until they have chosen some single family and nearly exhausted it by study and collecting. If they try such a course, they will find that the e.xhaustive study of a single *) Since writing the above I have published a mopographic essay on tlie Tabanidae. I'm 1^ ■'.

It implies the j^realest concentration of out's Working power, and for this very reason, its greatest economy; its products are tlio most lasting, because a good monognipli is not easily supplanted; they are tlie nu st UM-ful, because tlit-y facilitate and encourage the study , instead of obstructing it, as some other kind of work is liable to do. The productions of unconsciencious and incapable writers ooght not to obstruct better workers and thus to impede tlie progress of science, let no one, attemi»ting a monograph, be deterred by the number of earlier descriptions in tlie same family. The principal etl'ort should be, to collect an alundant material, representing as nearly us possil le the fauna of a given region in the family selected for work. With such a material tlie identification of jtrevious descriptions becomes comparatively easy. >Vith some perseverance and attention, the available descriptions will soon be identified and the residue may be neglected, as useless. It may happen that the whole, or nearly the whole of the previous descriptions proves to be unavailable; let not the w rk be jirevented by it. Of the thirty -two earlier de- scriptions of North-American DoVuhoinis , all but two, were un- recognizable; this did not jirevent Dr. Loew from writing a standard monograjdi of the genus. The next step for the monographer should be, to prepare descriptions of all the species, because it is a bad plan, in a monograph, simply to refer to the descriptions of previous authors*). By means of analytical tables, or of figures, the descriptions should be rendered accessible, enabling every one, with the monograph in hand, to get at the name of a given species. *) Erichson expressed the some views in the Preface to his Evto- moyraihitm, and the passage deserves to be reproduced here*. ,ts«sclireibungen m-uer Arten Kcliuiiien niir in den Tiiin Kiillen nur ilann ciii n wi>«entlichen Fortsfhritt 'ler WisHtmRcliaft zn bcdingen, wonn eine t'eliersii'ht ubcr dio Ali- tn'iliinif, der sie angehfirt'n , datnit vurhundcn. und diesi- als cin Ganzes bftrailitet winl. l^ lunn ia soUhen Arbeiten oft UinreiiliL'nd sein, boi bek&nnten Arteu nuf scbon ruraun- rUEFACE.

The species, occurring around the centres of civilization should be described first, so as to have the species fridii the more distant regions compared with ihcm. As matters stand now, the opposite state of things is very likely to happen; iiuiiiorous Western species, brought by explorers, will be described, having the Kastern entomologist in doubt, whether the forms wliicli ho finds at his door, arc the same species, or not.

Dr. Loew in Gu^en, my correspondent and collaborator for many years, was unfortuimtely prevented, by a sudden failure of his health, from assisting me during the preparation of this volume. I have nevertheless used many data, found in his letters, or taken down in looking over his collection of North-American Diptera, (the same, which now is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge, Mass.). The large share he has taken in the advancement of North American dipterology speaks for itself.

There is not the slightest exaggeration in saying that, without the encouragement and the support, received from the Smithsonian Institution for the last 20 years, the study of North American diptera would have remained far behind the stage which it has reached at present. The inherent limitation of a Catalogue like the present con- sists in the fact, that although it is more than a mere compilation, it is less than a monograph. In many respects, the task of the monograi)lier had to be encroached upon : synonymies established, species transferred to the proper genera, European species, occurr- ing in North America, recognized and introduced in the lists etc. The amount of latent labor of this kind, accomplished in tliis Volume, will reveal itself to those, who will take the trouble to comiiare it with my earlier Catalogue (for instance in the AaiJ iliac or Syrphidac). There is some danger in carrying this kind of anticipatory epuration too far, because in performing it, we cannot expect to attain the thoroughness of a monograph. And it is in the belief, that I have reaihcd the point, where it is time for me to stop, that I liand over my work to the public, with a full sense of its imperfections.

LIST OF THE NFAV GENERA AND THE NEW SPECIES PUBLISHED IN THE NOTES TO THIS VOLUME. I. n. in. New genera: Crioprora (Syrphidae); Dlotrcpha (Tipulidae). New species: Diotrepha miraMis (Tipulidae). — Southern States. Cyrtopogon lyratus (Asilidae). — New- York and New-England. Porphyrops signifcr (Dolichopodidae*. — Northern States. Borborus venalicius (Borhoridae). — Cuba. Arthropcas hptis (Coenomyidae). — Northern States. Changed or modified generic names (the reason for the change is, in every case, explained in the notes): Protoplasta in Idioplasta. Empheria in Ncoempheria (Mycetophilidae). Glaphyroptera in Neoglaphyroptira (MycctophilidaeX Aspilota in NeaspPota (Trypetidae). Eristicus in Xcoci-isticits (Asilidae). Mochthems in Ncomochthcnis (Asilidae). Itamus in Xcoitamus (Asilidae). Idiotypa in Neoidiotypa (Trypetidae). Rondania in Neorondania (Stratiomyidae). Exaireta in Neocxairda (Stratiomyidae). EXPLANATIONS NECESSARY FOR THE USE OF THE CATALOGUE. A Star(*) before a specific name means that the species is to be found in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology^ in Cambridge, Mass. These stars are omitted only in the family Cecidomyidae. An interrogation (?) before a specific name means that its position in the genus is doubtful; an interrogation before a synonym, means that the synonymy is uncertain. An exclamation after a synonymy, means that I h^ve seen the type of the description. I have used this sign whenever I deemed ic necessary to inform the reader of that fact; but the absence of that sign does not necessarily mean that I have not seen the type. Synonymies. The authority for each synonymy is given after it, in brackets; where no authority is mentioned, my own is assumed. Genera. Species which I do not know, may sometimes not be placed in the right genera.; this applies especially to the species from Mexico and the West-Indies. Loew, in litt. All the data, which I obtained from Mr. Loew, either by letter, or In looking over his North American collection (during my visit in Guben, in September 1877 >, are quoted in that way. M. C. Z. Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge, Mass. — Localities, it will be noticed that, in some cases, the localities marked in the catalogue, differ from those which are found in Dr. Loew's Centuries of North-American Diptera. These discre- pancies are not errors, or omissions, but corrections. In.this Catalogue (as well as in my earlier list), I have not included those species of earlier authors, which were marked simply „America". New-York is always meant for the State of that name, not for the city.

NOTES. 1. Oeoidomyia. On this family, the following papers may be con- sulted : 11. Loew. Diptcrologische Beitiiige IV, ISSO. The same. Ziir Kenntniss dur Gallmiicken, in the Linnaca Entomol. V, 1851. J. Winnertz. Bcitrag zu eincr Monographie der Gallmiicken, in Linnnea F'ntomol. VIII, 1854; with four beautiful plates. The same. Hetcropeza und Miastor, in the Verh. Zool.

A synopsis of all the literature on the subject; very accurate and complete. C. R. (3 s ten Sac ken. On the North American Cecidomyidae. — In the Monographs of N. A. Diptera, Vol I ^a survey of the previous publications concerning the classification, habits etc.). In an inaugural Dissertation, entitled: Revision der Gallmiicken, Miinster 1877, Mr. F. A. Karsch changes the existing nomenclature of the Cecidomyidae, in virtue of the principle of priority. What we call now Cecidomyia, he calls Dasyncura Kondani; our Diplosis Loew, is his Cecidomyia Meigen; Clinorliyncha Loew is to be 0/irliyncus Ron- dani; Epidosis Loew is Porricondyla Rondani; Hormomyia Loew is Oli- gotrophus Latreille. The general adoption of these changes does not seem at all desirable. 2. Ceoid. grossulariae Pitch In the Monogr. I, p. 7, Mr. Loew stated that this species is an Axiihoiuhjlid, a statement whirli I repeated on faith, 1. a p. 1S9. Dr. Fitch's description renders it c ident that his species is atrue Cecidomyia. It is probable that, in making the above-quoted statement Mr. Loew had in his mind the european Cicid. rihcsii Meigen, which, as appears from Meigen's description, must be an AyplKnnh/litt. 3. Ceoid saMois tatatas. „This gall seems to agree in its structure with that of Cecitl. sulicis Schrank, on european willows." Bergenstamm & Low, 1. c. p. 71. 4. „The five kinds of leaf-accumulations and leaf-rosettes, which Mr. Walsh describes and which he attributes to his Cocidomyiae gnaphaloideg, rhodoides, strobiloides, strobiliaous, oorjloides, seem to be .^1 ^M 216 NOTi:s. !* the produce of the same species of Ccci'lnmyia; the difforences In thu shape of the gull seem to Ite tliie, not to a specific diiTercnce among the insects, but to the specific difference of the willows on which they occur. The trifliti;^ differences l)ctwcen the flies, as descrihed hy Walsh, as well as the circumstance that each of those five forms of galls hdr- hours only a single larva, strengthen this view. The european relative of this species, Cecid. romria Loew, likewise produces differently shaped galls on different species of willows." Cergenstamm and Ldw, 1. c p. 71. 5. Oeoid. lalieis-itrobiloidei. „This gall is the exact counterpart of the gall of Cecid. ronnrin Loew, on the european Salix purpurea." Bergenstamm and Ldw, 1. c. p. 72. 6. Several of the g.ills which I described as occurring on hickories, as esryae, earyaecola, holotricha, parsicoides, even tnbicola, and other, undescribed forms, sometimes occur promiscuously, on the same leaf. It remains to ascertain, whether ihey are really produced hy different species of Ceciilomyia, or whether most of them are not merely modi- fications in shape and degree of pubescence, of the gall of JJi'itlostH caryne, 7. Oeeidcmyia poenlnm I am very much inclined now to believe that the larva of a Cecidnmyia, which I found in the gnll that I thus named, was a mere inquiline, and that the gall was the work of a Cynipid. The ground for my belief is, that there is an analogous gall in Europe, that oi Nniwtirun leuticularif), which frequently harbours inquilinous larvae of Cecidomyiae. As long as the gall is on the leaf, no larva of a Cynips can be found in it; it develops only when the gall falls to the ground. If my supposition is correct, this peculiarity of the gall of Neuroterus would explain why, in most cases, I did not find any larvue whatever in the gall pocuhim. 8. Myoetopbilidae- For the definition of the genera see: Winner tz, Beitr. zu einer Monographic der Filzmiicken, in the Verh. Zool. Hot. Gesellsch. 1803, p. (537—964. Mr. Loew's species were all referred by him to the new genera formed by Wiiinertz The older species by Say, Wiedemann, etc., unless identified, I have left in the genera in which they were described. 9. Empheria is preoccupied by Hagen in the Psocidae, 1856. Glaphyroptera by Ileer, fossil Buprestidae, 1852. 10. Soiara and Triohosia. Compare Winnertz, Beitrag zu einer Monographic der Sciarinen, in Verh. Zool. Bot. Gesellsch. 18tj7. 11. Simuliam There is a monograph of this genus by Fries; compare also Zetterstedt, Meigen, Schiner. 12. Bibio. A monograt>h of the european species by Loew, in Linnaea Entomologica, I, p. 342. In qijoting Geoffroy, here and else- where, I rely upon Schiner, because I possess only the second edition of Geoffroy. The name liihio was first introduced by Geoffroy in 1764; he in- cluded five species in it, three ot which where Bibio's in the present meaning and two Fsycbodae NOTES. 217 tz, Bot. by lich The name TTirtrn appoarod first in Scopoli, EntomoloRia Cnrniolica 176:1, where Hirtea longicornis Stratiomys strigata F.) is dei:crilicd. — For an unexplained reason, Fabriciua. in the Supplement to his Knto- mologia Systematica, publislied in 1798, took up the name Ifirtm (without any reference to Scopoli) and applied it to a numl)cr of species, the majority of which are Bihio's. At the same time, the miijority of Fabricius's Bihio's are our Therevae, and Fabricius's There- vae are oiir Fhasiae, T iclinpodao etc. I Meigpii followed l.ibriiiiis's precedence about Ilirtea in his earlier work: Kla^ iHcation etc. (Ib04), and Fabricius quoted Meigon in his System. Antiiatorum U5<0'>'. In his principal work, however, (1818) Meigen rejected the name Hiiitn, and very p.-operly adopted Geoffrey's earlier name liiliio. Later writers have followed Moigen's example, except Zetterstedt, who maintains the name Ilirtea, for our Uibio. It is very probable that Stratiomyia longicornis Si upoli (Syn. strigiita P'abricius), which shows several peculiarities of structure, will, by and by, Jorm a separate genus, and then ]liiica will be the proper name for that genus. 13. Bibio artioulatus Say. According to Loew, Centur. V, 10, Nota this species belongs in the vicinity of li. nbbriviatiix, ('nitcniux, ))ifirii)ilii^, but the descriptions, both of Say and ot Wiedemann are not explicit enough for identification. 14. Aiiout Pleoia, Penthetria, HesperinuB, etc. compare Loew, Berl. Entom Z. II, p. 101. Also by the same: Berichtigung der geiierisclien Bestimmung einiger fossilen Dipteren, in the Zeitschr. f. Gcs. Naturw. Vol. XXXII, p 80 (180-i). 15. About Soatopse, see Loew, Linnaea Entom. I, p. :{2I, a mono- graph of the european species. Also another paper, by the saiiio, in the Zeitschr. f. d. Ges. Naturw., Vol. XXXV. ;lb70). Iti The identity of Arthria Kirby with Aspistes and oi Arlhria fniahfi with Axpititcs borcaliif seems to me very probable, some dis- crepancies between the descriptions notwithstanding. 17. Blepharoceridae. Compare Loew's Monographic Essay; La famiglia dei Blefaroceridi, in the Bollot. della Societa Entom. ltali;ina. Vol I, p. 8."> il8()'.))- — The same author's . Revision der Blepharotcriilae (in the Schles. Zeitschr. f. Entomoi. Neue Folge, Heft VI, l!^t■^l.ul 1877) is in the main a reproduction of the Italian paper, but being ot later date contains several additions. In the Monographs etc IV, p. 3, I suggested the possibility of a relationship between the Blepharoceridae and the IHiichopteriini. But since I know the Blepharoceridae better, I am less inclined to perceive that relationship In the structure of the eyes this family stands nearer to Simulium and Bibio. 18. Asthenia amerioana Walker, List, etc. I, p. 28, according to Loew, Monogi'apbs I, p 8, is not a Blepharoceiid at all, and any one, who reads the descrijjtion . will agrcribed a true Hhitharocern as an Ai*yn(hthuu. 19. Faltostoma. I will add to Dr. Schinor's description, that the palpi are dis^tinrt; the posterior tihiao bear one lon|7, slender spur; ocelli large, distinct; eyes separated by a broad front, pubescent, facets of the same size on the whole surface : wings with a square anal angle, like that of the other species of the family and unlike their represen- tation on thn figure in the Novara-volume. Altogether, the genus bears out the character of the family, as drawn by Locw (Revision der lilcpharoceridae, p. 83). The two mexican specimens, which I have seen, arc much smaller than J', miprrhiens from South America, which 1 saw in Vienna, but there is a great deal of analogy in the coloring of the two, ami they may possibly belong to the same species. In Turin I had no copy of the Novara work at hand, in order to compare the description with those specimens. 20. Onlex. In the British Museum I found the following typical specimens of Mr. Walker's species: fxcitaun, one specimen, excruriaits two, imiiatiens four (cJV), impiger two, imithicnbili^ one, jnuvocans two, stimulcws one, territniis two, prfinrhans one. Many of tueni are un- recognizable. Onlex eont rrens Walker, a fragment, is evidently ('. ciliatns; Ciikx solUcitiitiH is ('. taeniurJujnchHS. 21. Anopheles. About the european species of this genus, compare Loew, Dipteiol. Beitriige I. 22. Chironomidae. Mr. van der Wulp has made a particular study of this family and has introduced several new generic groups. Compare his articles in the Tijdschr. Entom. Nederl. Ver. 18.5!J, T. 2, 1, p. ^—11; also 1. c. in 1H74; ')i.* especially the chapter on Chironomidae in his larger work: Diptera Neerlandica. 23. Tanypug. There is a Monographia Tanypodum Sueciae by Fries. 1823. 24. Ceratopogon. J. Winnortz, Beitrag zur Kenntniss der Gatt. Ccratopofjon, in the Linnaea Entomol., Vol. VI (1852 , contains a mono- graph of the european species, with remarkably fne plates. Unfortu- nately, Mr. Winnertz did not subdivide the genus in smaller genera, but left it, as it was, and still is, a congeries of heterogeneous forms. A beginning of such a subdivision may be found in Westwood's Synopsis, etc., p. 125; compare also Rondani, Prodr. I, p. 175, and v. d. Wulp, Diptera Neerlandica. 25. On the Tipulidae brevipalpi, compare my Monograph, in the 4ti> Volume of the Monographs of North American Diptera, published by the Smithsonian Institution, in January 1869. For many years, I have made a particular study of the Tipulidae, and of the hvnipalpi especially. This study has enabled me to con- tribute something towards a better distribution of this group , bu* i>as, at the same time, thoroughly opened my eyes to the still remaining blanks in that classification. For iruui concealing there defects, 1 have K0TE3. 219 cnrpfiilly pointed them out in my volume. The Erioptcrina especially, ii'quire a more thorough investigation, liasnd on more abundant materials than 1 liad at my diapnsal; the rolations'of Gimiomijin to (loiii>iih(tnn/in must 1(0 more cl. arly detined; the genera Vlailnm, Si}ihHu, retjuire a better grouping: I have shown, for instance, on p. 201 and 2:J0, that the presence of four, or of live posterior cells, is an altogether secondary character and that some species with four cells, like (\r. Schiner's work. Hut that work was based on my earlier essay (IS-VJ), and do'js not contain the improvements, introduced in my later, and more voluminous, publication of 1S(>'J. 21). Limnobia siunlans. I ])refer to retain the name which I gave to this species: Mr. Walker's description is absolutely unrecognizable, as I have shown in Monogr. IV, p. 11. 27. Trooholola argns. This species hardly differs from the european Trochohoki amiiihitu Lin. (Syn. m}nrialix Loew). During my presence in London in July 1877 I had occasion again to see Liiine's type of Tipula anmilnta in tlie Linn. Society and can only confirm the statement which I made after my previous visit to the same institution, twenty five years ago: that Tipuhi fiiitiulnlii Lin. is the same as Liiiiiiuhia impen'aliii Loew. (See Stett. Ent. Zeitschr. 1)^.57, p. 90.) The specimen is a fragment, but the supernumerary crossvein is distinctly visible on the wing. Thus much in answer to I'rof Zetterstedt's doubts in the Dipt. Scand. Vol. XIV, p. ii't-n. The fact that Prof. Zetterstedt, diu'ing bis long dipterological career, never came across a Swedish specim(!n of this insect, is curious. IJy and by it will be found there. In the mean time, Prof. Mik in Vienna showed me specimens which he cau^rbt in Upper Austria and in Ga?'ein, Styiia. The Imperial Museum in Vienna (Collect. Winthem), con!, .is a specimen from Lyon, France. It seems to be a nothern and alpine species; and many aljiine forms (for instance Parnassius Apollo), occur in the mountains of the Dauphino not far from Lyon. Prof. Mik also found Limnobia caesarta 0. S. near Gastein. 28. Diotrepha nov. gen. Related to Orimnrcfa (compare the figure of the wing in Monographs, IV, Tab. 1, f. 8), but the posterior branch ol the fourth vein is not forked, so that there are only ihrec posterior cells; the smill crossvein is nearer to the ai)ex of the wing; the great crossvein, on the contrary, is much nearer to the root of the wing, far anterior to the origin of the second vein. Being thus placed in a situation where the longitudinal veins come very clo-e together, this K' L^ 1'^ 220 NOTE& crossvein is short and may be easily overlooked. The wings are very narrow; the body delicate, the legs long and very slender; empodia distinct. D. mirahilia n. sp. About 6 mm. long, brownish, very slender, with lonp, exceedingly delicate, white legs; the tips of the femora and of the tibiae, brown. — Georgia; Texas. I am not able, at present, to give a better description of this species; still, its characters are to striking that it will be easily recognized. I first took it in Georgia, in 1858, and did not publisli it, not knowing where to place it. Later, I sent it to Dr. Loew and did not have it before me at the time of the publication of Monogrnpln, Vol, IV. During my visit to Dr. Loew in 1877, I saw the specimen again and took down a few notes about its characters, thinking that it was related t/^ Thnumastaptcra Mik. But I have seen the latter in Viunna since and have given up all idea of a relationship. The type of D. mirahilis is now in the Mus. Comp. Zool. in Cambridge, Mass. I have seen a second specimen, apparently of the same species, taken by Mr. Boll in Te.xas. A specimen from Cuba in Mr. Loew's collection also seems to belong here. The name Diotrtpha means fid hy thf. Gods. 29. BhypholophuB fasoipennis Zett. .ticcording to Dr. Stein, who quotes Loew m lift., this may be the same as the E. idmjganoiderus of Kolenat! (Stein, in Stett. Ent. Zeitschr. 1873, p. 241). 30. Erioptera The characters of the subdivisions, established by me in this genus were explained in the Monogr. IV, 151 — 152. In their application to species from other parts of the world than North America, some of them will ho'.d good, others will require to be remodelled. The subgenus Erio\iin-a maintains all its characters in the european species tftewouota y. flm iscens F., fuscipcvnis M. (as I saw them named in Mr. Kowarz's coli. > tion). Imoptera macuIataM.. is a true Acijijhonn, agieeing in all generic characters with the american species of that subdivision. The definition which Dr Loew gives of Aajphoia (Beschr. Europ. Dipt. Ill, 50) is incomplete and therefore misleading; he evidently based it on my statements in Monogr. Vol. IV, p. 1.58 only, and overlooked the detailed character of the subgenus, as given on p. 151 — 152. His Acyphotine therefore, are not Aqiplionnn in my sense at all. j\lo!oi)]iilu8 is a very well-defined form, existing in Europe and North America. The definition of Mesoajphona will require remodelling, as I have stated in the „Western Diptera", p. 199. I have not seen any european species, belonging in it. The structure of the forceps of the male, which untergoes very considerable modifications among the Erinpterae, in t'.e surest guide towards the discovery of affinities; subdivisions, established without the use of that character, are worthless. In he Monogr. Vol. IV, I have given my reasons for abandoning Dr. Sthiner's arrangement of the Eriopierbm. There is no reason for separating Ithypliolophus from his DuKijiitem ; and, being united, the foru'ci name must be adopted as the earliest. Tn'clioxtivlta Scliiner is composed of the most heterogeneous elements: 1\ inaciduta is aii N0TE8. 221 Aqfphona; T. trivialis is a species which requires further study, and seems related to Trimina; T. icterica has an altogether ditferent orga- nisation and has heen placed hy Loew in his genus Lipmthrix (Heschr. Europ. Dipt., Vol. Ill, p. 68); T. imbuta of which I had only a glimpse, seems to he axiEmpeda; the residue [T. fumpenni!^, flavcscens, taenia- iwta) form the bulk of Erioptcrn Meigen, Division A, and should therefore retain that name, even in the ultimate subdivision of the genus : they are my Eriopterae, sensu strictiori. T) -se criticisms, will not, I hope, be considered disrespectful to those two writers, my seniors in Dip»','rology, and by far my superiors in the 'knowledge of most of its branches. 31. Sympleota punotipennis. Dr. Locw, in his Beschreibungen Europ. Dipteren III, p. 54, observes that Meigen, in his earlier work: KJassifiaition etc. called the same species hyhridn, a name which he afterwards changed, without explaining the reason, in pitiidipcmuit. Loew therefore recommends the reinstateni'i' of that name, as the earliest. But why rfhonld we not, on the same gjound, revive the generic name Ilelohia 3t. F'argeau, which is older than Sifwplcda, and call the species Helobia hyhrkla? And as Si/mphcta pimdiptnnif^ has been used in all the works and catalogues of diptera in existence for more than half a century, we would never got rid of it, but would have to keep both names in our memory for ever. For this reason, I do not share the opinion of my esteemed friend and correspondent. 32. Goniomyia. I am aware of the existence ot (Itihiomya Agassiz (Mollusca), but the derivation, at well as the tenninution of that name are different. 33. Limnophila humeralis Say. Journ. Acad. Phil. Ill, 22, 5; Compl. Wr. II. 47. Wiedemann unites this species with L. tevuipis Say, apparently deriving his opinion from the comparison of oiiginal specimens. Nevertheless, Say does not seem to have been of the same opinion. In a MSS. note in his landwriting, which I foumi in a cojiy of Wieder.iann's Auss. Zw., which he had used, lie refers L. tending to L. fpacilii^ Wied. The book is now in the library of the Acailcniy of Natural Sciences in Philadolphia. (Compare also ]\lonogr. etc IV, p. 41.) A specimen in the Winthem collection in Viorna, which 1 take to be the type of the description of L. gracilis, in labelled tenuis W. '3- \nisomera. About the european species, compare Loew in the Z- .:hr. f. Ges. ^;..:urw. Vol. XXVI (18G5). 35 Eiiocera oalifomioa. In describing this species in the V.'estern Diptera, I mi iitioned that Megistocent chihiisis Philii)pi, was, to all appearances, likewise an Eriuctra. But I have seen it siiice in Mr. Bigot's collection; it is a Megisiocera, that is a Tipulid and not a Limnobid. 30. Ptyohoptera. The tropin of the larvae of this genus do vot differ materially from those of the other Tipnlidae; the characteristic dentate mentum is present.

I. Filcliii. I was quite recently that, for the first time, I saw a specimen of this insect again, after tliose two whidi I dcsciihed twenty years ago. Tiie specimen is in Mr von Koeder's collection, in Iloym, (lermany. It is a mah>, and has a forcejis with very long hraiulies. Tliis proves that the specimens winch 1 described and about the sex of Miiich I was uncertain, were females. And it fnrt'.ier proves that the female in tliis genus does iiot b.ave the sabre-shaped, projecting ovipo- sitor, wliidi is usual among tlu' Tipnlidae. JiViopldMn, in tliis res[H'ct, resembles llittdcoiiiorithn, and differs from Pljiihiqitira. The specimen in ipiestion was taken in (ieorgia, by Mr. Morrison, a collector who has the faculty of ftu'reting out thf rarest insec's, whatever country he undei lakes lo exi)lore. 'iila cannot well be like that of I.iiiniohid vtieranomyia' rostnitn. to which he apparently refers. This error i>revented Dr. Loew from identifying Say's description. •12. Mr. \Valker'> Tipu^ae. After taking some notes from the tvpes in the Ihit. Mus. 1 !iopesage, ([uoted from Silliiiian's Journal, only C( .itains a remark about the difliculty of placing this species in :^iiy of the adopted families. A passage of the same import is that in the Jionographs, Vol. I. 47. Coenomyidae I restore this family, adopted by most of the previous authors, but suppressed in Loew's Monngiaplis, A'ol. I. It seems to me somewhat prematur.; to unite it with the Xylophagidae. 47 a.

Three females, only one of which is well i)re- served; the other is greazy; the third teneral, and for this reason ol a uniformly reddish color. This remarkable insect looks like a Leptid with th" antennae of Cocnomyia. I refer it to the genus Arthroixas Loew, Stett. Zcit. i8o0, with which it seems to agree in the generic characters. It differs liom the figures given by Dr. Loew, in having the anal cell open, the discal narrower, the posterior cells 2, 8, 4 longer. The second posterior cell is very narrow at base and the upper Itranch of the third vein is not bisiiiuato. I cannot at present compare this species to A. aiiuricnna, and cannot therefore tell whether the structure of the kicl- is the same in both. In A. hj^tin two deep, diverging farrows, run from the base of the antennae to the oral oilge, and divide the face in tliree portions. Besides A. sibirica, americmin and hiitis, a species ot the siime gemis, A. luoin , occurs in amber. The doubts nf ])r. liOew about tht» systi"- niatic position of Arthrojuaft are revealed in the fact, tiiat he refers it: to the Coeiiomijitlae in tliii Stett. Zeit. and to the Aatitlhoiiifriihic in the pamphlet: Der Bernstein utd die Bernsteinfauna, although both papers appeared in the same year 1850, The genus Cocmira IMgot, from Chili (Ann. Soc. Entomol. de France, 1857) is most closely allied to Aiihroinax and has even, in the coloring of the species described a certain family resemblance to .1. fil'iriv(t. In fact it remains to be siiown yet, in what tiio ilitForonce between the two genera consists. 49. Beris. Compare Loew, Stett. Entom. Z. 1846, p. 21S) sqq.: Bcnicrlningen iiber die Gatt. Jkris. 50.

In examining Wicile- niann's and Winthcm's collections in Vienna, great care should be taken to discriminate the true types, from spccinnMis that are not types, even ■when hihelled in Wiedemann's own liandw riling. I have explained in the Preface, some facts l.iearing on the distrilmtion of the types in those <;ollections. The tyi)es ot NVicdcinaiin's N. A. Tahani are now all in Wiiitlienrs collection. The Taliai\i in Wiedemann's collection are Koinetinies wrongly named. Tims T. ]{iiiiiv(inUii is represented hy three sjiecimens, which .are not that species at all; Wiedemann descrilxd a female with spotted wings; those three specimens are males and hav.! innnacnlate wings. The true type is in \\iiitlii'm"s collection. In the latter collection, there are likewise several wrmigly nana.vl I'ahani, of course, not types. T. zonatis is lalielled V. il>iiictiifns ]\lacq. is lahelled niriiiiulux i"'ah. etc. After having gone through tJie hdior of examitiing so many tyjies of earlier writers 1 have liecome more than ever convinced ot the necessity of b.ising our nomendature on riclc lUscriiiliohs and not merely on typical specimens. And for this rea-on I have prefeiied to leave the nomenclaiure ot my luonogriipli, as much as possiiile, undistnrhed, until iiiiotlier entomologist is in a position again to subject the whole genus to a tlniro'inh revision. 7().

Tabanus catenatus. As I suspected in my Monograph, 7'. CiiienatHs Walker is repieseiited in the IJrit. .Mus. by speciineis bebinging to two (litVerent species; but it turns out upon examiniiiion of these specimens, that neither of them is my 7. cni, imtii-i. One of tliein is the ])ale-colored variety of T. (urbidus Wied., the other is J', iji'jindm^ (lineatiis F.). Thus 7". entmatiis Wnlker must be cancelleiot tyiie) is T. fuxcopwictatui^ Macq. It is very probable that my interpretation of Wiedemann's description is the correct one. 87. Tabanus marginalis I'\ib. Wiedemann says: ,,Die Art phrase babe ich nach einem sehr schon erhaltenen Exeniplare des Wiener Museums verbessert etc." 1 looked for this specimen in the general collection, in Vienna, but could not find it. In the Winthem collection a specimen labelled marginalis B'ab. var. and marked as type, is my T. cerastes. It cannot well be the specimen described by Wiedemann, because he would have noticed the peculiar structure of the antennae (at present, these are broken in the specimen. At any rate the T. iiiarfiiualis of Fabricius is, and will remain a doubtful species, and be better dropped. 88. Tabanus quinquevittatus. In the Winthem collection (Vienna) there is a cj and a V vboth marked as types), from Savannah, and not NOTES. 229 from Mexico. They look i xccedingly like rnntnlis. Of T. cnifnlh, the types in WitMlpmann's collection arc very poor specimens, and for this reason, prohalily, his description is unrecognizai)le. 89. Tabanus fulvescens Walker. I have seen Walker's type in the Brit. Mus.; it is T. hivohr Wied. What I dv.scrilted as T. fiihrMrus is. very prohahly only a variety of T. hicuhir, with gray, instead of yellowish pleurae. A fimilar variety occurs in T. fiilnthis. 90. Tabanus Craverii. May i)ossil>ly hu an Ati^lotus. The typical specimens, females, looked very much that way. 91. Mr. Loew {in lilt.) proposes to divide in the Lei lidac two sections : I. Psammoryoterina, without facial 8wellin<; a'ld with a strong spur on the front tibiae; genera: 1. riidinift, as the typical genus, closely allied to: 2. I'smniiiori/chr (Syn. Vermileo); 3.

The type in Mr. Uellardi's collection is, unfortunately, nearly destroyed only the thorax and wings are left. 95. Spania edcta; the specimen in the 15rit. Mus. seems to be a real Sjiavin, that is a Lej)tid with a stout, styliform arista. 96. Glutops. I am uncertain about the position of this extra- ordinary genus, but prefer this place to any other. 97. II. Loew's Monograph: Ueber die Euiopiiischen llaulitlicgou (Diptera Asilica) in the Linn.

Laphria affinis Macq., the type of which 1 saw in .Mr. Bitot's collection, looks very much like L. thoriicim in the variety with alto- gether black abdominal pile. The description speaks of ulntv huirs about the head, which do not exist in L. thoracica, but do not shake my belief in the synonymy. lit In the Hanksian collection, presened in the Drit.

In the Piptcra of the Novara Expedition, however, Schiner quotes Wiedemann's and Mar- quart's descriptions as synonymical. I follow Loew, in lift, and call tlie Cuban species M. Mncunnrtii. Jacnnicke lias the same remark about the distinctness of the two species (Nenc Ex. Dipt p. 54). 121. There is another Trnpanea (Promachiis') apivora \Valk., Trnns. Ent. Soc. N. S.

I have seen Wiedemann's type in the Win- thorn collection ; it is the Erax aestumut of the Mus. Cuinp. Zool. Sclii- ner's statements (Verb. Zool. Bot Ges. 1860, p. 6^i6> are baseil upon a misapprehension of the true type ot Wiedemann, a misapprehension the source of which has been explained by me in the preface to this volume. But although the question of AhUku ncKtutwn Wiedemann is thus settled, the identity of this species with AfiHua nrittuini/t of Linn6 and Fabririus may still be called in doubt, as the descriptions of both authors s])uak of three white segments on the abdomen of the male, while -1. aestunuK Wicd. has only two. Harris's Ins Inj. to Vegct. 3'i edit., Tab. I, f. 4, shows only tuo stripes. Compare also the note 128 120. Erai ambignns, interrnpt'is, argyrogaiter, m&oulatus. Macquarf s typo.s of these species, which I have seen in the Museum in Lille and in Mr Bigot's collection, look very much alike. However, I did not compare them with the descriptions; the latter, which I have read since, slinw that arfiyrogaster has a lari^e male liypopyRiuni, nmhifiuun a re- markably small one for an Erax. E. mnciilatiin, judging from the figure, has likewise a large hypopygium. For the species which I have seen from Texas I preferred the name of amhiffuux, as the most certain; the hypopygium of the male, in this species, is remarkably small for an Erax. I admit at the same time that the female of this species looks exactly like the figure of the female of E. maculatuit in Macq. D Exot. I, 2 ; Tab. IX, f 6. Schinor (Verb. Zool. Bot. Ges. 1807, p. mi) compares E. maculatus to its next relative, E striola, the specimens of both being from Brazil. 127. Asilni apioalii. Wiedemann's type, a female, was in his collection, hut is no more in it. See Schiner, 1. c. — Walker, List, etc. Vll, p.

Ges. 1860, p. 686, Nr. 63) says about this species, results from the misapprehension under which he was laboring. See my note 125. NOTES. 235 129.

Very like 31. chuiitun in its coloring, but easily distinguished by its smaller size, comparatively broader bead, more cyliiiilric;il shape of the abdomen, by the red color of the second segment, which does not encroach anteriorly, on both sides, upon the first segment (as it docs in iV. chrntus), which exists on the ventral as well as on the dorsal side of the segment, and wlich is vot interrupted on the dorsal side by ft more or less distinct black spot; finally, by the whitish pube- scence on the head, the thorax and the first abdominal segment. Head black, broader than the thorax, clothed with soft, white hairs, mixed with black ones; the white hair is especially apparent on the tex and the sides of the front, also as a small tuft on each side under the antennae, near the orbit of the eye, and as a border round the clypeus. 236 NOTES.

Anthrax ealiforniae. I could not find the original specimen in the Brit. Mus. 145. Ezoproiopa philadelpbiea. This seems to be a small variety of E. fascipemiis ; 1 have met with such specimens several tiuies. 146. ExoproBopa rabiginoia. Probably a denuded K fuKciata; anyhow a wretched description; the name be better dropped. (I have seen the type since writing this note and confirm my statement.) 147. Exoprosopa eremita. Is not this species only a variety of £. puebkiisisif 148. Ezoprosopa ignifei. Walker contradicts himself about this species; in the Dipt.

Ezoprosopa irimaculata Walk- Same remark as in the preceding note. 150. Anthrax. A number of Macquart's species in this genus, especially of those with hyaline wingb, will have to be cancelled, as ihe descriptions are absolutely unneaning and evidently based on niisi'rable, rubbed oif specimens. Such are: A. comuxu, altiiiicdiis, {/lacilis. Of Anthrax hyfomihts and liastartlii I have seen the types. 151. Anthrax halcyon. Macquart's specimen is from Carolina and may perhaps, belong to A. Ceyx Loew? 152. Hemipcnthes seminigra. I suspect that this species is the same as H. won'oides (Say). Compare 0. Sacken, Western Di)it., p. 241. 153. Argyramoeba georgica. This synonymy is adniis&iblu on the supposition only that Macquart had a female before him, and not a male, as he states. The figure of the wing seems convincing. I do not quote A. analis (Say) Macquart, Dipt. Exot. II, 1, p. 67, ;i2, because 1 suspect that it is some other species. 154. Argyrauoeba fur 0. S. has the greatest resemblance to A. binotata Meigen, of Southern Europe (Fiume and Portugal). 155. Stygia eloogata Say, Lomatia thntftita NV'icd., is not a Lomatia as Wiedemann himself observes, but it is difi'icult to say. 238 NOTES. vliat it is. It bas the antennae of a Lpptid, but, nevertbcless, only fo»f posterior cells. I saw the typical specimen in Vienna and it seemed to agree with Wiedemann's flgiire. It is singular that annther specimen of this species has never turned up in the United States; it would have allowed a more thorough investigation than the fragile type in Vienna, which one is afraid to handle. 156. Aniiotamit eximia Macq. I doubt very much whether tliis species is well placed in that genus of Macquurt's own creation, but established originally for two African species. It bas nothing to do with Aufhrnx, as the bifurcation of the second and third veins takes place long before the small crossvein. It liclnngs in the group or Lomathm, as characterized by mo in the Wcstcin Dipt. p. ii'iti, and may, at least temporarily, be placed in tbo genus Oncodoccra, 157. Bombyliaa. About this and the related genera, see the elaborate paper by Loew, Neue IJeitrilge, 111. 158. Bcmbylini aeqaalis lliirris (ncc Fabricius). I have omitted the species of Fabricius' in my list, beciiise it is impossible to make Anything of the short description, unless it means Ji. j'rutcVuo.

Ent. Z. Ia44; Tab. II, fig. 9, 10, with the J-lpi- hnUx by Burgess in Proc Boston Soc. N. H. 187S; Tab. IX, f. U); 2) the wings have no perceptible denticiilntions along the costa; 3) each abdominal segment is strongly conrctatc nt the ba!»o, the preceding segment having a corru^^pontling swelling along tho incisure; this is especially pcrcejitible in EcUmns ittfuiiitUhma and (jnuihH; less so in E. hiiim; 4) the thorax in the male is not muricate. I had an opportunity of comparing Epibatex muricatuft with the three species of EclinntH in Mr. v. llocder's collection (in Iloyui;; probably the richest private collection of Diptera in Europe. TUirevtmyin bigot has the shining thorax and the projecting fnco oi Echinus, and, at the same time, the muricate thoracic surface of E'liibaten (the latter is not mentioned in the description); it has a longer proboscis than either.

The eyes of the male are divided in two parts by a well defined line, above which the facets are larger than below; the line lies a little lower than the antennae and thus divides the eye in two unequal paits, the upper one of which is a little larger: its coloring, in life, is more red, the lower half is more purplish. This character, very striking in life, is also visible in dried specimens. I have not observed it in the species of Siiiphun, or of Siihairoiihoiia, or of Mexoyrniitfi, which I examined alive.

I have E>een the type in Mr. Bigot's collection; it looked to me like E. linstardi. It is possible however, that it is a closely allied, but different, species. 22.5. Eristalis dimidiatos. Macquart did not recognize E. dimiduitus Wied., and thus came to describe it, first as iiiger in the 6'«(7t.s a Jiuff'on'y then the male as L'hirtnhiuii and alongside of it, both sexes as cImJijIhus (Dipt. Exot Vol. 11); and then again the female as incimrulin in the Supplem 4). That tl.e eyes of the latter are described as fihihroKn , is erroneous, as all the known North American Eristalis have |)ubescent eyes, with the single exception of E. aouiis. I saw the types of E. L'htrvnuieri and chnli/bais in tlie Jardin des Planies, and although I had no opportunity of comparing them with specimens or dci-criptions of E.

It was, I suppose an over- sight on his |)art, that he omitted to state that riiioptllu was merely a new name for an old genus. Schiner (No vara, 3GG) was right in su- specting it 232. Helopbilna. Compare the paper on the Europoan species of Ihloiihihis by II. Loew, in the Stett. Ent. Zeitschr. , Vol. VII; sevetal North American species are described in it. 233. Helo^hiluB stipatus and H. Anausis Walker. I saw hotli in the Ihit. Museum. The former, I thought, was llil liiientHK male. Tiio latter, a greasy specimen, was undistiiiguishable , but the desciiption shows it to be If. linuitiis. 234. Helophili 8 obsonrus. The patria as given by Mr. Loew in the Centuries (CnroliiKi), was based upon an erroneous reading of the label. 235. Enmerus porous Walker, which is a Helophilus, is a very peculiar species; it is rL'i)reseiited in the Brit. Mus. by two (cj and V) wellprescrved specimens. I have never seen it elsewhere. '2:i6. HelophiluB susurrans Jaenn. The synonymy does not seem doubtful; only Ifiiitcmnid should be read instead of Scitftinnid in the description; without this emendation the comparison with H. paidultis has no sense. 237. Teuohoonemis. Milesia Baonntins Walker, and Pterallastes litnratus Loew, are closely allied and must be put in the same genus. Both have, in the male, curved hind tibiae, with a strong projecting spur in the middle, a character which is wanting in I'lendlnstes tlioitwicun Loew. The latter was described by I )r. Loew in both sexes, and there- fore must be considered as the type of the genus , while of P. litunitiis Dr. Loew described only the female. Hence arose the necessity of establishing a new genus for the other two species. 238. Teuehoonemis Baonntins. The specimens which I have from Texas do not quite agree with Mr. Walker s description of the thorax, nevertheless the identity is not doubtful. 23'J.

In a note to his descri|)tiun of Jhndnj- priljiufi ct/fniofiitsttr, Mr. Loew observes, that this species holds tho middle between Jlrdchi/iiiilpui^ and Crionhimi, that it has a remarkably projecting face and would deserve the establishment of a new genus. Since the publication of my Western Diptera, I have seen Dr. Loew'a type of li. ci/iinv(i"sUr and have perceived at once that it belongs to the same group with my J'orola ci/iikiUk and 1\ alofirx from California, which I had doubtfully referred to St. Fargeau's genus I'dvdIh (Western Diptera, p. 3:5!)). At the same time, I have al«o seen the eurojiean I'licotd (I pi form in, the type of the genus, and have become aware that my two californian species, as well as Ji. ciiiniiujiistir, cannot be referred to I'orotn. For this natural group of tliree species, I form therefore a new genus, and propose for it the name cf Criofirora {y.inim{>u>nw England, and agrees with Say's description, except that the antennae arc more often dark than reddish; tliut tlie tarsi usually have the tiin-o last joints hiack, rarely two; the hind coxae in the male are armed with a spine. Tliis last character prevents me from identifying this species with X. (lunilrimaatUita Loew. I have not seen any original specimen of the latter.

Meade Esq. in Bradford, Yorkshire England, has hiid the kindness to examine a collection of North American Anthomyiae, sent to him by me. The result of this examination is embodied in an article: 20 258 NOTES. Notes on the Anthomyiidae of North America. (Entomologists Monthly Magazine, April 1878, p. 250-252.) He sums up his comparison as follows: „0n looking over the collection, it struck me, in the first place, „that the number of species was small in proportion to the number of „spccimens; and next, that the number '>f smaller and feebler species „was greater in proportion to that of the large and more highly „developed forms, than occurs in Europe. I only determined 121 species „in the collection. There where few, if any, peculiar forms among them; „they could all be arranged in the same g' nera as the europoan spciies; „they had the same sombre colours and ordinary forms, which are .«o „familiar to us; and many of the common european kinds where so „clo8ely represented, that it was difficult to say, in some instances, „whether they were exactly the same, or closely analogous species." 278. Scliiner, Fauna Austr. , Dipt. I, p. 644, quotes Anthomyia brassiose Bouche as a synonym of A. rufueps Meig., but with a doubt. 279. Schiner, 1. c. p. 643, quotes A. oepatum as a synonym of A. avtiqua Meig. 280. M. Walsh describes in the same place the larva-stnge^ of two other Homalomyiae , H. Leydii and H.

I assume the synonymy on the authority oi ov-l.i"er, who liail the advantage of com- paring Wiedemann's ty-es. I do not pretend to docido, wliethor Macqu irt is right in referring to the same species the specimens from tuba, rhiladelphia, Java and Port Jackson. As to Taeniaptera triviUotn. Macquart, Dipt. Exot. II, 3, p. 240, says: „The genus Tamiaptera, which 1 establislied in the SiiUia ti ]iiiiJ'o)i, has for type a species allied to some exotic C'tluhaUte. I suppress it.'' The reason is not given, but tlie probable cause may have been the loss of the original specimen, which would explain why Macquart, in giving up the genus, never mentions the species again. I look upon the synonymy of C. all i tana Macq. (which is a Tdcnuqitira in Maccpmrt's sense), with T. triviti-ua Macq. as certain. Compare also Loew, Ueschr. Eur. Dipt. Ill, p. .'54. 292. About the enropean, as well as the exotic Mioropezae, com- pare Loew, I3erl. Ent. Zeit. Xll, 1868, p. 161—167, also pag. 39:5. 293. The third volume of the Monographs of the N. A. Diptera (1878) contains a monograph of the N. A. Ortilidae by Dr. Loew, with an introduction, concerning the classiKcation of the Ortalidae in general, and a review of the work of previous authors on the same subject; however, no notice is taken of the new genera published by Dr. Schiner (Novara etc.); nor of Prof Rondani's Odalidiiiae itahaie. The article by Dr. Loew: Die N. A. Ulidhia, in the Bed. Ent. Zeitschr. 1867, p. 2>^8, was the precursor of his larger publication, but also contains South- American species. '294. Oxyoephala fenestrata and 0. fuscipennis I have seen the types of both in the Museum of the Jardin des Plantes. 0. fencstniht seems to be a different species. 295. Pyrgota valida. ^Yhcn Mr. Loew set aside this name, as a mere catalogue -name, he overlooked its publication by Mr. Harris in the Ins. Inj. to Vegetation. 296. Ortalis OrtoeJa The specimens in the Ihit. Museum bearing this name are Chaetopsfiif ncnea. 297. Herina splendens I owe this synonymy to Mr. v. Boeder. 298. Urophora nigriventris Macquart. I)r Loew, in the Monogr. etc. Vol. Ill, p. :W7, says about this species that it is a 'J'rypctid of doubtful systematic position; but not an Uioiihorn. Macciuart's de- scription made nic suspect that this was simply Ciniijiloviuni piitn. As I had overlooked this species, wliile examining Mr. higot's collection in Paris, I wrote to him about it, and he kindly informed me, tlnit „after a careful comparison of the types in his collection, labelled in Macqii.ut's own handwriting, he finds no ditl'erence between U. nigriventris Macq. and Campioiuuni pida Macq " 260 NOTES. !! 299. Teplronota hnmilis. In the Monographs, ITT, p. 125; ^fr. Loew rejects the earlier name given to this species by Mr v. d. Wulp, on the ground that „it has been preoccupied by Fabricius". This cannot be sustained, as neither of the two generic names, Herir.a or Tephrovota existed at the time of Fabricius. 800. Trypeta Narytia Walker. There are four specimens in the Brit. Mus.; two of them are Clioiiopi^is mmn, and one of these bears Walker's label „Narytia", the two others, marked „Florida, Doubleday", seem to be Tephronola hiuniUn. 301. Ettxesta annonae; Schiner, Novara etc., p. 28-S, places this species in the genus Amithym Macquart (Hist. Nat. Dipt. II, p. 440) together with Uioiiliora (uiua Macq. (1. c, p. 468), from Columbia, S. America. 302. Idiotypa Foerster, Proctotrypidae 1856, has the priority. 303. See the papers of Mr. Loew: „0n the North American Trypetidae" in the Monogr. of the N. A. Dipt , Vol. I, and „Review of the N. A. Trypetina", in the Monogr. etc.. Vol III. On the europoan Trypetae, see the large work of Mr. Loew: Die Europaischen Bohr- iliegen, Wien 1862; in folio, with 2(» plates of magnified photographs. The literature about the Trypetidae will be found in Schiners: Diiikm Austriaca, Die Oentcrr. Trypctklen ; Wien, 1858. 304. Schiner (Novara etc., p. 263) draws attention to the probable identity of Lcittoxi/s with AiiaMrcplia. But this identity seems certain, owing to the fact that Macquart himself, in the Dipt. Kxot. II, 3, p. 216, mentions the Daeus serpeutinus Wied. as belonging to LrptoxyA. Macquart , "1. c. improves Liptoxi/iln in the more correct Leptoxyf^.

It is easy to recognize this species in the description of Dr. Fitch and in the iigure. The de- scription of Cltl aiititmaiiK Fitch evidently contains some clerical error, as it describes the antennae as plumo!>e and alludes to those of (hi. riihifiris as vot plumose, while the latter are represented as jilumose in the figure. Mr. Loew followed the lettuiiess and not the tiguie, and hence called anhnnaUs the species in which I recognize vulgaiis. ^,See Loew, Zeitschr. f. Ges. Naturw. XXXVII, p. 117.) 312.

Vol. 11, p. 289, proposes to revive, instead of Anthophilina , the older name of this genus Atithmmi-n Fallen, Speclm. Entomol. 1810. The same argument is adduced by him in the Jahrb. d. k. k. Gel. Ges. in Krakau, Vol. XLI. But it seems to me that Anthomy-a is too much like Aiithomyin and that there is a serious objection against using names, so nearly alike, in the same order of insects. Furthermore, as the name Anthomyza has been used by Zetterstedt in the senne of Ahthuiinjki, its reinstatement, in a different acceptation, would be misleading. We have therefore the^ choice bet- ween Lii)tomyza Macq. (1835) and A)ithui>hiUiin Zetterstedt (iSIiS). Dr. Schiner adopted the former, which, 1 suppose is the right course; but until the question is decided, I retain the three north aincrican species luuler the name of Antliophiliiia, under which they where originally published by Dr. Loew. 315.

II. Dates of the first publication of genera.— In prepar- ing this Catalogue for the press I did not have Latreille's works at hand, I had to rely on Schiner, but have discovered the following errors since : — Phora was published in Latreille, Precis, etc., 17!)6. Simulium, JJeris, Pipunculus, Scennpinus, Ochlhera, Ornithomyia, ilelo- ph'igus, Nyctfiibia appeared in Latreille, Hist. N. des Crust, et des Ins.

Asynduliim, Rhyphus, Ilcrmetta, Psnzus, Paragns, Milesia, Eiislali:^, PJoax, Ocyptera, Phasia, Oscinis, Sepedon, Tfphritis, Lauxania appeared in the Dictionn. d'Hist. Natnr., D«erville, Vol. XXIV, 1804, and also in Hist. Nat. des Crust, et des Ins., Vol. XIV, in the same years 1804. The pub- lication in the Dictionnaire is generally quoted as the earlier one ; it would be better, perhaps, to quote both. ( 265 ) 2GU ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. lu all these cases Agassiz's Nomenolator gives tlie cqrrect dates. Echl- nomijia, Dum^ril, was published in IbOl ; in giving the date 17t)8, I was led into error by the obituary notice of Dumuril, in the Auualesde la Suo. Entoui. de France, 18(10, p. 603, where that date \a given. The name Tctunovire appears for the first time in the same publication of Duuiuril's (1801), but is translated Telaiwcerim in his Zool. Aualyt., 180(i. Latreille adopted it as Tctunocera in his Hist. Niitur. des Crust. «t des Ins., Vol. Ill (ISO-). Schiiier is again in error here.

Family Illepliarocerii Since my arrival in Europe I have had opportunities of a closer study of the BIcpharoceridse, and have come to the conclusion, that ijleph. j/dsi- mite should rather be considered a Lijmiieura, its broad front being in this case a character of higher order than the dilTerentiatiou of the facets of the eyes iu two portions (with larger and smaller facets). I pub- lished this fact in au article entitled, Bemerkumjen ulnr Blvpharoceriden (Deutsche Entomol. Monatschr., 1878, p. 405-41t)), in which many other remarks, supplementary to Loew's Revision, etc., are incorporated. In looking over Mr. Bigot's collection in Paris, I observed in it an uudescribed Blepharocerid (a female), likewise from California, and very remarkable for having the venation exactly like Liponeura yoaemite, although its contiguous eyes make it a Blepharocera. A deep groove divides the eyes iu two portions, but there \a no strip without facets, as in the two species of Blepharocera hitherto described. The identity of tlie venation of this species, wliich I call Bl. anv.iUa, with that of L. yose- inile, would seem to prove that it is the venation, which in this case is a character of higher or<1er than the structure of the front. Many such discoveries would tend to obliterate the limit between the genera Bhplia- roccra and Liponeura, Blepharocera ancilla, n. sp. ; female ; Gray ; thoracic dorsum brownish, with paler longitudinal lines ; abdomen brownish, incisures yellowish ; antennfB brownish-yellow, brownish towards the tip ; legs brownish-yellow ; tips of femora brownish ; tarsi brown ; knob of halteres infnsoated ; wings Bubhyaline ; veins brownish-yellow ; venation similar to that of Lipon. yosemite.
