256 NOTES. 



the Suites a Buff on an error however , which was due to Macquart 

 himself, who did not allude to his previous publication. 



261. There is a paper by F. Walker, Observations on the British 

 species of Pipunculidae lEntom. Magaz., Vol. II, 1885, p. 2i.i2 270.) 

 Also a survey of the Swedish species by C. G. Thomson, in his Opuscula 

 entomologica, Stockholm 1870, p. 109. 



262. Oestridae. Compare Brauer, Monographic der Ocstriden, 

 Vienna 1863; with numerous plates of the imagos, larvae and pupae. Tbe 

 full synonymy of all the species enumerated will be found in this work, 

 as well as the litterature. 



263. Tachinidae. I. have principally followed Schincr's distribution 

 (in the Fauna Austriaca). 



264. On Ocyptera see Loew, Stett. Ent. Z. 1844, p. 226, 266-, also 

 1845, p. 170. \Yinnertz, Stett. Ent. Z. 1845, p. 33. 



265. Dejeania corpulenta. I have seen Wiedemann's type in 

 Vienna, which is my D. vexatrix. D. rufipalpis Macq., in Mr. Bellardi's 

 collection, is the same species. I have been misled by Macquart's false 

 identification of Wiedemann's species. 



266. Dejeania rutilioides. I have seen Mr. Jaennicke's type in the 

 Museum in Darmstadt and recognize in it the Tachinid which I men- 

 tioned in the Western Diptera, p. 3" 4, line 8 from the end. 



267. Tachina vivida. Mr. Harris described this species in 1841 ; 

 there existed at that time a Tachina vivida Wiedemann, Auss. Zw. II, 

 p. 312 (1830). Wiedemann's Tacli. abrup'a would thus have the prio- 

 rity, if its idendity with Tacli. vivida Harris was ascertained. 



268. For Micropalpus flavitarfis Macq. and oniatu? Macq., as well 

 as for a considerable number of other south american species, Dr. Schiner 

 (1. c.) introduces the genus Sawndersia, as tbese species have nothing 

 in common with Micropalpus, but the rudimentary palpi. 



269. I take Nemo*aea in the sense of Schiner as embracing Erigone 

 and other genera of R. Desvoidy. 



270. Exorista in the sense of Schiner, involves the genera Lyilclla, 

 Zenillia, CarctUia and in part Winthtmia of Rob. Desvoidy. I have 

 also included in it all the species which Mr. Walker described under 

 the head of Aplomyia R. D. Myod. p. 184, for tbe reason that Rob. 

 Desvoidy calls this genus intermediate between his WintTiemia and 

 Carcellia and that, in his later work (Dipt, des envir. de Paris, I, p. 

 459) he adopts for the type of the genus Tachina confmis Fallen, 

 Zetterstedt, which is an Exorista. 



271. Belvoisia bifasciata. The larva, according to Macquart, was 

 bred by Boisduv.il from the chrysalis of Cerocainpa regalis; Mr. Riley 

 obtained it from Dryocampa rubicunda Fabr. 



272. Metopia. I take this genus in the sense of Schiner as em- 

 bracing Araba and Ophelia of Rob. Desvoidy. 



272 a. A detailed definition of the genus Eurygaster and of its 

 relationship to other genera of Tachinidae, is given by Nowicky, Bei- 

 trag z. Kenntniss d. Dipterenfauna Neu/eelands, Krakau 1875, p. 28.
