There is an error in tlie description, the specimen being a 

 female, and not a male. 



MlMETEOMYIA QUASIORNATA Taylor. 



Stecjomyia quaaiornata Taylor, these Proceedings, 1915, p. 177, 

 PI. xxviii., fig. 2. 



This, like the above species, is placed in Mimeteomyia, as it is 

 more closely related to this genus than to Stegoniyia. The $ 

 sign in the first line of tlie description should be deleted, as ojily 

 the 9 is known.

Stegomyia hilli Taylor, these Proceedings, 1914, p.456, PI. 

 XXXV., fig. 5. 



Mr. Edwards recently suggested tome in ////., that this species 

 and *S'. qiiasioriuita would be more correctly placed in the genus 

 MimeMomyia. A re-examination of the type proves tliat such is 

 the case, on the same grounds as stated under ^f. oruafd Taylor.
