ON SOME NEW AND RARE SCOTTISH DIPTERA 85 



Mr. Malloch in Murroch Glen ("E.M.M.," 1909, p. 41). Mr. 

 Waterston took 2 <? 6 on Blackford Hill, iSth July 1904. 



ii. FANNIA (HOMALOMYIA) SIMILIS, Stein. I have a pair taken in 

 cop. at Musselburgh, 2yth June 1907. Meade says "Very 

 rare. I do not know the ? ." So far as I know these are the 

 only Scottish specimens ; Mr. Malloch, who has worked out our 

 British species, had not seen this one, although he had taken 

 most of the others. He confirmed my identification. 



i 2. FANNIA MUTICA, Ztt. This is another species of which Meade 

 did not know the $ . I bred several d $ and 2 ? ? in 

 June 1906 from Fungi, gathered near Musselburgh, and Mr. 

 Waterston caught a c? in Arran, 3rd September 1903. Not 

 previously recorded from Scotland. I am indebted to Mr. 

 Malloch for the identification. 



13. PALLOPTERA PARALLELA, Lw. I can find no records for this 



species. It is very like umbellatarum^ F., but is easily separated 

 by the characters given by Becker (" Berliner ent. Zeit," Jahrg. 

 1895). I have taken it only in the Blairgowrie district of 

 Perthshire, but Mr. Waterston has found it at Lochgelly, 27th 

 August 1904; Bute, 1 2th September 1904; and Arniston, 

 i 7th July 1906. 



14. ACIURA ROTUNDIVENTRIS, Fin. A <$ taken by Mr. Waterston 



at Polton, 6th August 1906. Mr. Malloch records it from 

 Bonhill ("E.M.M.," 1909, p. 41). I have no other Scottish 

 record. 



15. APHIOCH/ETA ALTICOLELLA, \\~ood. Described by Dr. Wood in 



"E.M.M.," 1909, p. 114. Mr. Malloch ("A.S.N.H.," 1910, 

 p. 91) gives Bonhill as the only Scottish locality. I have 4 

 $ $ from Aberfoyle taken in August 1906, and named for 

 me as this species by Mr. Malloch.
