260 NOTES. 



299. Tephroncta h iT milis. In the Monographs, III, p. 125; Mr. 

 Loew rejects the earlier name given to this species hy Mr v d. Wnlp, 

 on the ground that ,,it has been preoccupied hy Fabricius". This 

 cannot be sustained, as neither of the two generic names, Herina or 

 Tfplironota existed at the time of Fabricius. 



300. Trypeta Narytia Walker. There are four specimens in the 

 Brit. Mns.; two of them are Chattopsis aencn, and one of these bears 

 Walker's label ,,Narytia", the two others, marked M Florida, Doubledaj ", 

 seem to be Tephronota humilis. 



301. Euxesta annonae; Schiner, Novara etc., p. 283, places this 

 species in the genus Amdlysa Macquart (Hist. Nat. Dipt. II, p. 440) 

 together with Urophora aetica Macq. (1. c, p. 458), 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 european 

 Trypetae, see the large work of Mr. Loew: Die Europaischen Bohr- 

 fliegen, Wien 1862; in folio, with 2<> plates of magnified photographs. 

 The literature about the Trypetidae will be found in Schiners: Diptcra 

 Anstriaca, Die Oesterr. Trypetiden; Wien, 1858. 



304. , Schiner (Novara etc., p. 263) draws attention to the probable 

 identity of Leptoxys with Anastrepha. But this identity seems certain, 

 owing to the fact that Macquart himself, in the Dipt. Exot. II, 3, p. 

 216, mentions the Dacus serpentimis Wied. as belonging to Lcptoxys. 

 Macquart, 1. c. improves Lcptoxytla in the more correct Leptoxys. (I 

 find in Agassi/ ,,Index universalis" Leptoxys Bafinesque, 18 . ., Mollusca.) 



305. Eurosta, Loew, 1873; Eurostus, Dallas, Hemipt. 1851. 

 Peronyma, Loew, 1873; Peronymus, Peters, Volitantia, 1868. 

 Euxesta, Loew, 1867 ; Euxestus, Wollaston, Erotyl. 1858. 

 Euolena, Loew, 1873 ; Erolenes, Le Conte, Carab. 1853. 

 Pterocalla, Rondani, 1848; Pterocallis, Passerini, Hemipt. 1863. 



All these names do not interfere with each other, according to my 

 opinion, and can remain. Should a change be thought necessary, add 

 the syllable Neo. 



306. Icaria Saussure, Vespidae 1858, has the priority. 



307. Aspilota Foerster, Braconida 1862. 



308. Trypeta alba. Mr. Riloy told me that he bred it from seeds 

 ' of Vernonia. I found it abundantly on the flowers of that plant. 



309. About the systematic position of the Lonchaeidae, and 

 especially of the genera PaUoptcra and Loachaea, compare Loew, in 

 Monogr. etc. Ill, p. 8 10. About the european species of Palloptera, 

 compare Loew, Schles. Entom. Zeitschr. 1857. Do not overlook Haliday's 

 note about these genera in Westwood's Synopsis of the genera of British 

 Insects, p. 150, at the end of Vol. II. of his Introduction. 



310. Compare Loew: die Europ. ^rten der Gatt. Sapromyza in his
