NOTES. 263 



324. About Rhicnoersa and its european species, see Loe\v, Berl. 

 Eut. Z. 1865, p. 34. 



325. Miliehia. Compare Loew, Stett. Ent. Zeitung 1843, p.SlQ, 322. 



326. Cacosenus. About tbis genus and tlie related 3Iiliclii, 

 Lobioutcra etc., compare Loew, Wiener Ent. Mon. l>r>x, p. 213. 



327. Aulacigaster. I place it among the Agroiiii/.:iile, on the 

 authority of Loew in lilt. 



328. Ochthiphila, Compare Schiner, Verb. Zool. Bot. Ges. 1867, p. 

 325; also Loew, Wien. Ent. Mon., 1858, p. 219, in the article about - 

 Cacoxenus, 



329. Sigaloessa, compare Schiner, Novara etc., p. 238, where some 

 further remarks about the genus will be found. 



330. About Asteia or Astia, compare Loew, Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. II, 

 p. 114, where a new genus Periscclis is introduced. 



331. Compare Stenhammar, Copromyzinae Scandinaviae, Stockholm 

 1855; (originally in Vetensk. Akad. Forhandl. 1853, p. 257442): A 

 monograph of the family, including the genera L'uclopa, L'oprotiiyza, 

 Limosina, Spliaerocera, Onmia. 



An earlier paper by Haliday : British species of the dipterous tribe 

 Sphaerocmdae ; in the Entom. Magaz. 1836. 



332. Borborus venalicius, n. sp. Head brownish-red, vertex darker 

 brown; several whitish-pollinose dots on the front, near the eyes, and 

 on the vertex; antennae brownish-red. Thorax brown, with longitudinal 

 rows of dots of gray pollen; a pair of similar spots at the tip of the 

 scutellum. Abdomen blackish, hind margins of the segments whitish. 

 "VVings faintly tinged with yellowish; a transverse brownish spot at the 

 base of the submarginal cell and another at the tip of the third vein. 

 Legs yellowish; femora darker; front tibiae with one, middle and hind 

 tibiae with two dark brown rings. Length: 23 mm. 



Hab. Cuba. Dr. Loew (in lift.) informs me that this is an african 

 species; and as I found it abundantly in Cuba, it seems probable that 

 it was brought over in slave-ships. 



333. Hippoboscidae. Compare: 



1. W. E. Leach, On the genera and species of Eproboscideous In- 

 sects. (In the Mem. Werncrian Society, Edinb. 1818, p. 547566, 

 with three plates; the memoir was presented in 1810). 



2. Rondani, Hippoboscita Italiana. (In the Bolletino Soc. Entom. Ital. 

 187; at my writing the paper is announced as being in the press.) 



334. Ornithomyia confluenta Say will, I suppose, form a new genus, 

 on account of its peculiar venation. An apparently different species of 

 the same group was found by Mr. "VVni. Holdeu on Aceipiter fuscus, 

 near San Jose, Cal. (M. C. Z.). 



335. Compare: 



1. Westwood, Nycteribia , a genus of wingless insects, in the Trans, 

 Zool. Soc., Vol. I, p. 275 (1834).
