 I have to thank Mr. Chas. Alexander for the above synonymy 

 {in litt.). Ceratocheilus at its inception was considered by 

 Wesche to represent a new subfamily having affinities with the 

 Ptychopterinae. The exact position of Styringomyia is also 

 uncertain. Some authors refer it to the Rhamphidiini, others 

 to the Eriopterini.

' In the note after the de.scription of this species the first sentence is mis- 

 leading. In the description itself it is stated that the distal cell is open in one 

 wing and closed in the other in the unique type. In penning the phrase com- 

 mencing "though the discal cell is open. etc. (Fauna, p. 423), I must have over- 

 looked this .inom.ily and observed only the left wing, in which the cell is open; 

 and, aliliough this explanation makes the text intelligible, it admittedly does not 

 excuse a want of care in examination. My Hgure shews the cell closed as it 

 normally is in this genus and as is staled bulb in m\ generic description (I.e. p. 

 421), and in I.oew's.
