INTRODUCTION.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been
to give a complete list of the specimens of Dipterous Insects.
contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicat-
ing at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards
variations of character, locality, and the source from whence
it has been derived. With this view, the different individuals
of each species contained in the collection are indicated by
the letters a, b, c, &c., followmg the name of the species and
its synonymes, and the description, if it appeared to have
been before undescribed.

The Catalogue of Dipterous Insects has been prepared and

the new species described, by Mr. Francis WALKER, so well
known for his attention to this order of Insects.

upper, and thence proceeds to the fore border, which it accom-
panies to the tip of the wing, leaving a triangular colourless space
between ; parallel to it, and a short distance beneath is another an-
gular band; these tawny marks are clonded with brown, and there
are two dark brown dots near the base of the second longitudinal

armed with black spines ; claws black: wings colourless, dark brown

form an angle, which is nearly parallel to it; wing-ribs and veins
