46 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



24. I male, Western N. Y. — 25. i female, Cambridge, Mass. Both 

 unlike any species known to me. 



26. The generic position of this injured specimen is rather doubtful ; 



I female, D. C. 



27. Corresponds to Rondani's description of S. hirticmra and is very 



like A. pei'tusa Meig.; 7, male and female, from N. Y. and 111. 



I cannot compa-ve A. />er^us(7 nor 6". hirticmra ; the species is 

 AntJi. trabeata Loew; one type of Loew with his label is among 

 the specimens No. 27; in Loews coll. there are 7 specimens from 

 N. Y., 111., Pa., D. C. 



Mr. Meade says, Ent. M. Mag., /. r. p. 251 : In Spilog, there 

 were eleven species. . . . There was only one male in the 

 collection, and it bore a remarkable resemblance to Cyrtoneura 

 jueditahmda Fabr. The fifth longitudinal wing vein was curved 

 in a similar manner towards the fourth vein, though in a less 

 degree. . . . 



There must be some misunderstanding here which I am not able to 

 solve, as the eleven species before me contain 12 males belong- 

 ing to 7 species. I have compared every one carefully with a type 

 of Cyrt. meditabunda sent by Loew, without finding any male cor- 

 responding to the characters of C meditabunda. Later I found 

 among the Diptera not seen by Mr. Meade one female very well 

 agreeing with the characters mentioned, bearing a label M. viedita- 

 bunda ? written by O. Sacken. 



Genus Hydrophoria Desv. 



28. Unlike any species known to me; i female, Connecticut. 



29. Resembles M. ambigua Fall.; i male, Huds. Bay Terr. 



30. Unlike any species known to me ; i female, Brit. Amer. 



Genus Dry.aieia Meig. 



31. A well marked species which differs slightly from the only European 



one, D. hamata , 4, male and female, from Huds. Bay Terr. 



It is difficult to decide about the similarity with D. hamata, as 

 the Amer. specimens are in a rather indifferent condition ; the 

 European types sent by Mr. Meade and Loew are much larger. 

 Formerly, /. c, p. 251, Mr. Meade had considered them to be quite 

 distinct.
