106 . iMay- 



I have seen specimens from JSTethy Bridi^e, Portlicawl, and near 

 Abergavenny (Col. Yerbury) ; Orl'ord and Coniston (Ven-all) ; Padstow, 

 (C. G. Lamb) ; and Orford and Aviemore (J. J. F. X. King), taken in 

 July and August. 



9. Enijjis rujivenfris, Meig. A male of this species was taken by 

 Col. C. G. Nurse at Timworth (Suffolk), on June 3rd, 190G, and several 

 females were caught by the late Mr. Verrall and myself when on a visit 

 to Wormsley Park (Oxon.) on July 7th, 1909 ; they resemble the 

 females of 2)e)i}irpes, L., Init the lirst joint of the front tarsi is not 

 pennate above, and the hind tiljiie Jteneath are only pennate for half 

 their length. 



10. Hihira (jiiadrifu ria, Strobl. Under this name I am ol)liged to 

 refer a species not uncommon in June at Wicken (Cambs.), while I 

 have also taken it at Frinton-on-Sea (Essex), and near Padstow 

 (Cornwall). It is allied to cornicula and hivittata, but the thorax is a 

 duller, browner black, and the bristly hairs beneath the hind femora 

 towards the tip are longer and more distinct. 



11. Hilarafulvtbarha, Strobl. This species w^as described by Strol>l 

 from specimens found on the Spanish coast ; it has a brownish unstriped 

 thorax with quadriserial aci'ostichal bristles, large reddish-yellow palpi 

 clothed with yellow hairs and the pubescence on jowls, voxx and sides 

 of abdomen yellowish. It is not uncommon at Studland (Dorset) in 

 May and June, and has been taken by Col. Yerbury at Porthcawl 

 (Glamorgan) and l)y the late Mr. Verrall at Lyndhurst (Hants) and 

 Aldeburgh (Suffolk) . Another species of Hilara- — anglodanica, Lund- 

 beck — has been recently described (Vid. Medd. Foren., 1913, p. 32'>) 

 and attention called to its occurrence in England by its describer. 



12. Syria iiqj/iDfera pallida, Lw. One specimen of this peculiar 

 genus of Empidx subf. Hemerodrawhur, was taken some years ago In' 

 Dr. D. Sharp in the New^ Forest, and is now in the Zoological Museum 

 at Cambridge. Through the kijidness of Mr. C. G. Lamb, who had 

 correctly identified the specimen. I liave been able to examine it, and 

 now, at his request, publish the record of its capture. It is a yellow 

 species with distinct venation, resembling that of Ardopfcra irrorafa, 

 but the subcostal vein is longer, the anal cell larger, and the wings 

 clearer.
