66. Ptychomyia selecta, Meig. This Tachinid is comparatively 

 common, and I possess it from Lyndhurst, Swansea, Orford and 

 Herefordshire, but most of my specimens were taken by Col. Yerbury. 



66a. Bothria suhalpina, Villen. When describing this new species 

 (Wien. Eut. Zeit., 1910, 88) Villeneuve stated that he had seen a 

 female taken by Mr. C. J. Wainwright, near Birmingham. I know 

 nothing about the insect, but it must be included in our British List. 



67. Germaria angustata, Zett. I took a female of this species at 

 Martham (Norfolk), on June 26th, 1888, and Mr. C. J. Wainwright, 

 who has seen the specimen, confirms the identification. According to 

 Villeneuve (1909) this is the Germaria sahulosa of van der Wulp and 

 the Atradochaeta graeca of Brauer and Bergenstamm. 



68. Onesia gentilis, Desv. This may be easily distinguished 

 from all other known British species of the genus by the absence of 

 the inner praesutural bristle. I have records from Chippenham Fen 

 (common). Barton Mills, Lewes, Folkestone, Dartford, etc., from 

 March to October, so I expect it only requires identification to be 

 found a common insect. I have two other species of the genus which 

 I have failed to identify. 



69. Syntomogaster exigua, Meig. I cannot find any record of 

 this as British, though the existence of a British species of the genus 

 has long been known to Dr. J. H. Wood, Col. Yerbury and myself. 

 Dr. Wood has taken several specimens at Hough Wood and Stoke 

 Wood near Tarrington, in Herefordshire. 



70. Syntomogaster (?) fasciata, Meig. I caught a specimen of this 

 very distinct species at Lyndhurst on May 29th, 1897, and Mr. Atmore 

 took one near King's Lynn (Norfolk), in June, 1910, and there is a 

 specimen in the British Museum taken at Tarrington, Herefordshire. 

 The species is unmistakable, but its generic position seems to be most 

 uncertain ; I should not place it in the same genus as S. exigua, but 

 rather in the restricted genus Litophasia. 



71. Cinochira atra, Zett. A fair nixmber of this very little 

 known genus and species were taken by Mr. J. E. Collin and 

 Col. Yerbury at Butley Thicks, near Woodbridge, in Suffolk, on 

 July 10th, 1908. 



Weberia thoracica is not very uncommon, 'but I have seen only 

 one specimen of W. curvicauda which was taken by Col. Yerbury 

 at Gravesend on June 27th, 1908. 



72. Sarcophaga sinuata, Meig. A male of this very distinct
