igo2. Yerbury — Diptera from Cork a7id Kerry. 75 



meioNiD^E. 



Dilopfius febrilis, Linn.— Caragh Lake, Aug. 14, male and female 

 (in coitft). 



SIIYIULID^. 



Simullutn reptans ? Linn. — Glengariff, June 17. 



CHIRONOIYIID^. 



Ctilronomus annularis, Degeer. — Kenmare, June 26. 



C. sp. Inc. — Parknasilla, July 17. 



C. sp. inc. — Waterville, Aug. 2. 



Ccratopogron sp. inc.— Glengariff, June 17, taken in company with 

 S. reptam, and these two species seem to be the common biting pesls 

 of the district, where, however, biting flies are not common, their 

 place being taken by ticks [Ixodes] of many species and in all stages 

 of development. This Ceratopogon is much commoner than 

 S. reptans, the proportion being roughly estimated at 6 : i. In Scot- 

 land the proportion would probably be the other way about. 



CULICID^. 



Culex nemorosus ? Meig. — Kenmare, June 26, A specimen referred 

 to this species with great doubt, as it has no silvery fleck at the tips 

 ol the femora. 



PTYCHOPTERIDiE. 

 Ptychoptera scutcllaris, Meig. — Loo Bridge, June 29. 



LIIVINOBIDjZE. 



Goniomyia tcnella, Meig. — Glengariff, June 15. 

 Limnophila ochracca, Meig.— Glengariff, June 11, 



TIPULID/E. 



Pachyrrhina annulicornis, Meig,— Glengariff, June 17. 

 Tipula lateralis, Meig.— Waterville, July 26. 

 T. gigantea.— Glengariff, June 12. 



From the above meagre list it will be seen at a glance how little 

 attention was paid to the Orthorrhapha Nematocera. 



STRATIOIYlYlDiE. 



Ncmotclus sp. Inc.— Kenmare, male, June 30. Mr. Verrall notes on 

 this specimen : " Almost certainly an undescribed species, differing 

 from N. patheriniis, Linn., by shorter snout, more blackened anterior 

 tibiae, and many other small characters." 



Stratiomys furcata, Fab.— Garagh Lake, Aug. 20. A single speci- 

 men. S, furcata and S. riparia are probably only forms of one 

 species.
