 fungivores, appartenant a des dipteres. (Annales des Scien- 

 ces Naturelles, 2e serie, Vol. XII, 1839, pp. 5—60; tab. 

 I-III.) Second Memoire (1. c. Vol. XIII, 1840, page 148-168; 

 tab. III.) This is an elaborate and most important paper on the 

 natural history and anatomy not only of the larvae of Mijcetophil- 

 Idae,^ but also of other families of fungivorous diptera, illustrated 

 by numerous figures. Besides a general introduction, the part 

 of which referring to Mi/cetophilidse has been reviewed above, 

 the following species of this family are mentioned : — 



Mycetoph'da atnah'dh Duf. (Syn. M. praeuata Meig?), M. 

 hUaris Duf. (syn. M. arciiata Meig?), M. modesta Duf. (re- 

 lated to 31. hrunnca Macq.) M. inermis Duf., Cordyla crass i- 

 palpa Macq., Sciara ingeyiua Duf, Bolitophda fusca Meig. 

 (under the name of Macrocera liyhrida Meig.). Larvae and 

 pupae of all these species are described, and a part of them 

 figured.

 scriptions short; that of the structure of the mouth of the 

 larvae is not correct.

This paper is a puzzle to me; it is very detailed ; the figures are 

 prepared with great care ; and still statements and figures are to- 

 tally at variance with what is known about other larvae of Mijceto- 

 phda and even about larvae of species closely related to M. lunata. 

 The stigmata are said to be nine, on nine consecutive segments 

 of the body, except the two first; the locomotive swellings, 

 with their bristles, are described and figured as being on the
