Neophorichaeta johnsoni Smith. 1 



I am under obligations to Dr. C. H. T. Townsend in kindly 

 calling my attention to the possible synonymy of the above spe- 

 cies with that of Tricogena setipennis Coq. 2 Mr. W. R. Walton 

 has graciously compared the paratype of N. johnsoni with Coquil- 

 lett's holotype of setipennis and finds them identical. Coquil- 

 lett had the female and the specimens from which N. johnsoni 

 were described were the males. Thus, N. johnsoni becomes a 

 synonym of Tricogena setipennis Coq.

MORE LIGHT ON MYIOPHASIA. 1

After reading with much interest the analysis of this group 

 published in the September number of the Proceedings (vol. 

 xvii, pp. 107-114), the thought occurred to me that it might be 

 possible to get additional information about Wiedemann's Mon- 

 tevideo specimen, type of aenea and this species the type of Myio- 

 phasia. I accordingly addressed a letter to the well-known Vienna
