 deal disturbed above and back of the lobe, third is complete and well 

 developed, and exhibits a pretty well-defined elytral shield ; the general

 spicuous ; body below dark with epimera, sides and middle of abdomen,

Sent me by Mr. Loding with other species. Three examples from 



Florida placed provisionally with this species differ by being much more 



regularly striate and more lightly punctate, and are probably a different 



species.

Note on Eupeleteria,Townsend and Allied Genera. — The genu-; 

 Eupeleteria was erected on page iii, Tax. Muse. Flies, Smithson, 

 Miscell. Coll., No. 1803 (May, iqoS), and three species named as included 

 in it. I herewith propose Echinomyia f era, L., as the type of Eupeleteria. 

 The genus cannot include E. magnicornis, Zett., which must be taken as 

 the type of Eudoromyia, Bezzi. I am indebted to Professor M. Bezzi for 

 directing my attention to this point. E. pneceps is the type of the genus 

 Pareudora, Wachtl, I retain Tachina grossa, L., as the type of Echinomyia, 

 as originally proposed by Brauer and von Bergenstamm. — C. H. T.

BOOK NOTICE. 



Quaternary Myriapods and Insects ok California, Univ. of California 

 Publications, Geology, Vol. 5, No. 12, by Fordyce Grinnell, Jr. 



A report on the fossil Myriapodi and Coleoptera found in the lime- 

 stone caves of Shasta County, and in the asphalt beds at Rosemary, near 

 Los Angeles. In the Myriapoda, two new lulids and a Spirobolus are 

 described. Sixteen species of Coleoptera are listed, of which three, 

 belonging to the genus Eleodes, are described as new. There are two 

 plates, with 44 figures, depicting all of the species. Little work has been 

 done on the fossil insect fauna of California, and many interesting dis- 

 coveries await the student. — Karl. R. Coolidge, Pacific Grove, Oil.
