dolichopodim: of Grenada, w. i. 



BY J. M. ALDRICH 



f^pHIS family is represented by fifty-five species, of which 

 fourteen are herein described as new, and twenty-seven 

 were described in my previous paper on the Diptera of St. Vin- 

 cent. Twelve species in the lot from St. Vincent were not found 

 in this collection. Only one of these was known prior to the 

 publication of the St. Vincent paper. 



I have made a consolidated list of the Dolichopodidse of these 

 two islands for comparison of their fauna. V., after the species, 

 indicates its occurrence on St. Vincent ; G., on Grenada. 1 A star 

 indicates that the species was previously known. All unstarred 

 are described in the two papers. New genera are indicated.

^ote. — Grenada and St. Vincent are two small islands of the Windward 

 group of the Lesser Antilles, distant, respectively, about 75 and 150 miles from 

 the Venezuela coast. Extensive collections were made in the two islands a few 

 years ago, by Mr. H. H. Smith, for the Entomological Society of London. The 

 material from St. Vincent was worked up by Dr. S. W. Williston, except the 

 families Dolichopodidce and Phoridce, which were undertaken by me, at Doc- 

 tor Williston's request. The report was published in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1896, pp. 253-146, 7 pi. It was intended that the Grenada material should be 

 published in the same way, and the present paper was prepared some time ago; 

 but pressure of work has prevented the completion of the report on the other 

 families, and it has been thought best not to delay the publication of the present 

 paper any longer.
