vol. LX , p. 25C) : Tiimla javends Dol. , which some Unes before 

 was recorded as a synonym io Pae/iyrhina Doleschalli OsX.^SiCk.; —

 more in the genus Odontomyia; — p. 278: lihaphiocera splnithorax 

 Macq. , which on p. 273 was already notified as synonym to 

 Clitellaria hivittata Wied.; — p. 279: Sargns hrevipennis X\.on<\.m 

 Ptecticus and on p. 280 again in Sarr/us. — In vol. LXI, p. 135:

 Cyrtopogon; — p. 142 : Trupanea bifasclata Macq. in Promaclms and 

 p. 143 in Trupanea; — p. 142: Asilus agnitus^\edi.\nPhilodicus 

 and p. 144 in Trupanea'^ — ^. \.J^^: AcuranaQ-fasciata^d\k.n.nA 

 p. 148 as a synonym to Laxenecera albibarbis Macq.; — p. 179: 

 Buvaucelia bicincta Rob. Desv. in Gonia and p. 192 in Duvaucelia; — 

 p. 189: Catapicephala splendens Macq. and once more on p. 196 ; — 

 p. 193: Idia fulvipes Big. in Rldnia and p. 194 in Id'ia. The 

 genus Cynomyla is mentioned on p. 190 with three species and 

 again on p. 196 with two species. 



In tlie systematical arrangement Bigot has sometimes made 

 striking errors. In vol. XL , p. 261 , the genus Mongoma (farn, 

 Tipulidae) is enumerated with three species, not belonging to that 

 genus, but to the genus LUmotes , which immediately is proceeding, 

 and on the following page Mongoma pennipes Ost. Sack, (a true 

 Mongotna) is quite wrongly brought in the genus MycetopJdla ! — 

 In vol. LXI, p. 229, Coelopa orientallfi Macq. is ranged in the 

 fam. Sapromyzidae , and once again on p. 233 in the fam. Chlo- 

 ropsidae ; in both cases it is misplaced , as the genus Coelopa belongs 

 to the Borbnridae. On p. 232 Phora (^Triueura) peregrina Wied. 

 is brought in flie fam. Drosophilidae, whilst the fam. Phoridae and 

 the genus Phora, into which it belongs, are mentioned on p. 234. 



It would not be difficult to indicate still more inaccuracies in 

 Bigot's Catalogue, but what I have said will be sufficient to 

 justify the publication of my own catalogue. Though I expect that 

 my labour will also contain imperfections and omissions, it will 

 at all events give a more complete compendium of the Dipterous 

 insects of South Asia, which at present are known.
