12. C.forci2)iit)is, Winn. : I cannot d()ul)t three males taken at 

 Penzance on May 15th, 1890, even thoui^h Winnertz (who only knew 

 it from one male) said nothing about the black bristles on the thorax. 



18. C. versicolor, Winn. : A rather pretty species which was 

 abundant in my garden on July 14th, 19U1, and on various subsequent 

 dates. 



14. C. nohilis, Winn. : As far as I know this species is only 

 known from a single female described by Winnertz ; his description 

 is, however, so good that I cannot doubt the name applying to a male 

 taken by Col. Yerbury at Studland, Dorset, on June 7tli, 1907. 



N.B. — C.fulvus is only the female of C. sinnijjes, Pauz. 



15. Dixa nigra, Stseg. : I am bound to consider a specimen 

 taken by Col. Yerbury at Nairn, on May 18th, 1905, as belonging to 

 this species. I do not consider De Geer's description of Tijmla 

 anqjhibia recognizable. 



16. Limnohia clecemmaculata, Lw. : This pretty little species, 

 which was described from Germany in 1873, has been bred by Dr. 

 J. H. Wood from a fungus found on a decaying beech in Stoke 

 Wood, near Tarrington, on September 3rd, 1906. It had been bred in 

 Germany from species of Bxdalea, Dr. Wood took it again in 1910. 



17. Psiloconopa imsilla, Schin. : Dr. J. H. Wood fomid this new 

 genus and species to Britain in numbers in the Monuow Valley, South 

 Herefordshire, on July 17th, 1907. The genus is allied to Trimicra, 

 and has almost identical venation, but P. |r«fcv7/a is a small but veiy 

 distinct species, in which, the sharply marked black tips to the femora 

 give an idea of Cheilotrichia imhnta. 



17a. Tipula nodicornis, Meig. : Col. Yerbury has given me a pair 

 of this species which he took at Nairn on June 8th, 1905. He also 

 took a male at Nethy Bridge on June 17th, 1900. I have an impres- 

 sion that this species has already been recorded as British, but I have 

 no note as to when or where.* 



18. Bhaviphoinyia culicina, Fall. : Col. Yerbury has taken half- 

 a-dozen stray specimens of this distinct species. One fine male at 

 Nairn on August 1st, 1905, three at Porthcawl in July, 1906, and 

 one at Wroxham Broad in August, 1906, besides the fragments of one 

 at Torcross on August 17th, 1903. It is well distinguished from 

 R. variabilis by its blacker thorax and dark brown halteres in the 

 male, and by the almost total absence of any bristles on the legs.
