Mr. A. H. Haliday on new British Insects. 185 



Holywood. I saw but lost a second specimen at Roe Park, 

 county Derry. 



Add. Wings pure hyaline, 5 th nerve scarcely abbreviate, 

 cross nerve near the margin. Hind tarsi much dilated at the 

 base. The one I possess wants the head, and is otherwise 

 injured, having probably been the prey of a spider. 

 Musca Morellia importuna, C. 1286. 21 b ."l 



hortcrum, C. 1286. 21. j 



Having been enabled by the kindness of Mr. F. Walker to 

 consult Fallen's original description, I would rectify the di- 

 stinction of these species. 1°. M. hortorum. To this belong 

 Fallen's description, and my description of M. importuna 

 (Ent. Mag. iv. 149), and probably all the Morellice described by 

 Desvoidy. 2°. M. importuna. This is M. hortorum of Meigen 

 and of my description in the Entomological Magazine. 

 Anthomyia monilis, C. 1287. 100 b App. 279. 



A. Homalomyia atra abdomine glauco-micante linea dorsali et 



incisuris atris ; calyptris fumigatis ; tibiis anticis basi pallidis, 



apice fasciculatis ; tarsorum anticorum articulo ultimo orbicu- 



lato, m. Long. 2 — 2j lin. 



Very like A. manicata, but only half the size, and of a deeper 



black. Wings darker, calyptra smoky brown. Middle tibiae 



scarcely incrassate at the tip ; thighs of the same pair bearded 



throughout on the under side, and scarcely contracted before 



the tip. The tarsi are shorter, and the terminal joint in the 



fore pair round. 



Not common at Holywood. 

 Anthomyia cilipes (A. 12-punctata, C. 1287. 139 b . App. 279). 

 A. Azelia nigra oculis fulgidis, thorace postice cinereo, abdomine 

 cinereo linea dorsali interrupta et punctis 2 in singulo seg- 

 mento atris ; alis fuliginosis ; tibiis posticis extus longe villosis, 

 m. ; cinerea alis hyalinis, abdominis punctis paribus nigris, f. 

 Long. 2^ lin. 



Twice the size of A. triquetra, and very like it; but distin- 

 guishable by the darker wings, and still more by the hairy 

 hind tibiae of the male. 



Very common about putrescent fungi. 



Gen. Scatophaga. Subg. Halithea, C. App. 279. 



Arista subnuda. Alse unguiculatse. Tarsi graciliores. Femora 

 postica maris basi tuberculo villoso.
