Type locality: Europe. 



Discussion: This species is apparently a member of group in. It 

 seems to be restricted to Europe and western Asia and is not yet 

 recorded from North Africa. The Nearctic species borealis Cole is 

 apparently its nearest relative, and these two species are the only 

 known representatives of group in. The females of pallipes super- 

 ficially resemble both zonatus Erichson and gibbosus (Linnaeus), but 

 pallipes is the only one of the three with crossvein m-cu present. The 

 male genitalia show similarity to those of borealis but at the same time 

 are quite distinct (see pi. 8, fig. 51 ; pi. 11, fig. 76; pi. 12, fig. 86). 



Specimens examined: 5cf, 10 9.

 Oncodes guttatus, Pleske, Konowia, vol. 9, p. 164, 1930. — Sack, Die Fliegen, 



vol. 98, p. 19, 1936. 



Type locality: Italy: guttatus, benacensis. India: octomaculatus. 



Discussion: Species of group ii. This rather uniquely patterned 

 species has been recorded only from southern Europe. It is now 

 known to occur in the Ethiopian and Oriental regions as well but is 

 apparently only rarely encountered. Its distribution from Italy 

 through Greece to Turkey and Persia to southeast India is fairly 

 continuous, but the South African record cited below indicates a 

 much wider range.
