Pomona College Journal op Entomology 



a paper on the Dasypogonina? since the work of Back, and has made several 

 new genera. All of the American species are put in the new genus Neopogon. 

 (His paper is in the Annales of the Hungarian National ]\Iuseum). Aldrich 

 believes that both Back and Williston were wrong in identifying trifnaciatus 

 from Southern California. 



The other mistake was due to Aldricli. The small tiy determined by him 

 as AUotricJioma n. sp. (Figure 265) and published in the Laguna Report as 

 Allot richoma Uttornlis i.s- Atisaa pyginaea Haliday. Aldrich somehow traced 

 it wrong in Becker's and kindly rectified the mistake. The specimen was de- 

 termined by Becker, who is the author of the current monograph of the 

 European species. This is an European species described many years ago.

Lipovhaftu slossof^iac. which was figured in the Laguna Report, was dis- 

 covered first on the Florida Coast, then on the west side of the Gulf of 

 Mexico, then on the (jalifornia coast. It is, according to Aldrich, a southern 

 species, and is found in large numbers at some of the Southern California 

 beaches. It was quite rare at Laguna. It differs greatly from most 

 ephyrids. Williston thouglit it an ^scinid at first. 



There was another slight mistake in the last Ijaguna Report. The 

 Scatopse was named califoi-iiiaiia in the figure and califonncti in the trxt. It 

 should be calif ornica. 



There are a number of fiies that were collected and not reported on last 

 year. The collection has not been fully cla.ssified as yet, but considerable 

 additions can lie nuidc to last year's list, thanks to the determinations made 

 by Aldrich.
