434 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. 43. 



HYPOCERA CORONATA Becker. 



This is very similar to johnsoni Brues. 



HYPOCERA JOHNSONI i Bnies, 



The type of this species is in the United States National Museum 

 collection. Varies from coronata only in color of antennae, and palpi. 

 It may be only a variety of that species, as I can not find that it 

 differs in any other respect. I found a female which I believe to be 

 of this species in the collection from Granada, Nicaragua (Baker). 

 It differs only in having the antennae of normal size and the costa 

 longer. 



Locality. — Riverton, New Jersey. 



I have also seen specimens I believe are this species from Japan. 



HYPOCERA BERNUXm Becker, HYPOCERA INCRASSATA Meigen, HYPOCERA CARINI- 



FRONS Meigen. 



Are not recorded for America that I know of, though it is more 

 than probable that they occur. 



HYPOCERA MORDELLARIA Fallen. 



Brues gives this species ^ as recorded by Coquillett. He says he 

 has seen no specimens from America. The specimens that stood as 

 mordellaria Fallen are not that species; so it may, unless since 

 recorded, be deleted from the list of American species. 



HYPOCERA VITRn>ENNIS Meigen. 



A small species found about nests of Borribus in Europe. 



HYPOCERA GRENADENSIS Brues. 



Type in United States National Museum collection. Grenada, 

 West Indies; except the above species the smallest in the group. 



HYPOCERA FLAVIMANA Meigen, (=FEMORATA Meigen). 



This species is well represented in the collection, and I can not sat- 

 isfactorily separate it from the next species by the characters given 

 by Brues. In the series before me are 14 specimens, and two of 

 them may be considered as answering to the original description of 

 clavata Loew more or less satisfactorily. They have the antennae and 

 palpi pale. Other eight have the palpi more or less yellowish and 

 seem to come between the other two and the four typical ^awmarw 

 in the lot. It is not a satisfactory character upon which to base a 

 specific distinction, and I am inclined to consider those as all one 

 species. However, in view of the tact that I have not seen the type- 

 specimen I can not definitely state that Loew's species and that 

 described by Meigen are the same. 



1 H. inseparata Brues I consider as identical with the specimen from Nicaragua in coUectioa.
