' Fiircinerva was founded on the union of Zvgoneiira Mfj., Lestremia Macq.. 

 .\ftmosciarii Rond. and Catocha Hall. In liis Prodrome vol. 1, Kond.ini admits 

 Catocha as valid, ijfnorcs Fiircinerva and erects Yposataea for the three other 

 t;cncra without any type species. Coquillclt proposed Mimosciara molobrina 

 Rond., wliich was the genotype of this latter genus. 



''■ S. thomae I. , the common European species, was recorded from Sumatra 

 by Van der Wulp (Dipt. Sum. K.xped. 7, and Cat. Dipt. S. .\sia, l), but in the 

 latter work he says that Riibsaamcn (Berl. Knt. Zeits. X.WIX, ,^2) doubts the 

 identity of the species. I therefore refrain from including it in thr present cata- 

 log uc. 



3 5. indica W'.ilk. is a good and conspicuous species, but his others arc 

 mostly unrecognizable from the descriptions, except perhaps^/i/ifs.
