DEFILIPPIA Salvadori. 



The generic term Defilippia Salvadori^ is preoccupied in Diptera 

 by Defilippia Lioy.* The proper name of the genus is Hemiparra 

 Salvadori,^ for although no description is given, Chettusia crassl- 

 rostris DeFilippi is mentioned as the type, which, of course, is 

 sufficient to fix the name. 



The two species should be called 



Hemiparra erassirostrls (DeFihppi). 



Hemiparra leucoptera (Reichenow). 



PHYLLOPEZUS Sharpe. 



The name Phyllopezw^ Sharpe^ must give way on account of
