 Europe.

DiCTYOPTERYX COMPAOTA, McLach. (?), 1 ? . The identification is very probable. 



The species was originally described from Eastern Siberia. 

 Nemoxira VARIEgata, Oliv., and another species not identified with certainty. 



EPHEMERID^. 



The few examples have been examined by Mr. Eaton, who reports as follows : — 

 Baetis verntjs, Curt., 1 c? imago. The species has been already recorded from 



Hammerfest and Alten, taken by Mr. F. Walker. 

 Chirotonetes sp., 1 <J subimago and 1 ? imago. These captures form an inter- 

 esting feature in the distribution of the genus, and may probably form the 

 subject of a separate communication. 



At Saeterstoen (South Norway) Dr. Chapman took 1 ? imago and 1 ^ subimago 

 of an undetermined species of Siphlurtit.

BRITISH DIPTERA UNRECOEDED OR UNDESCRIBED BY ENGLISH 



AUTHORS. 



BT R. H. MEABE, F.U.C.S. 



Having found a good many indigenous Diptera during the last 

 few years, chiefly belonging to the tribe of Muscidee, which have not 

 been described by Walker or any other British author ; I think that 

 a short diagnostic description in English of each species will be of 

 more interest to those who are taking up the study of this neglected 

 Order than a mere enumeration of names. 



• Wallongren says that juncea does not occur in Lappmark. I think there can be little 

 doubt of the identity of the specimen I have referred to that species. — R. McL.
