Chironujia oppidana, Scop. — Bezzi (1904) has come to the conclusion that 

 Desvoidy's name of Chiromyia must be used for the genus Pelethophila of the 

 " List/' and that lutea, Fin., must be known as oppidana, Scop. 



*Chiromyia minima, Becker. — This was described by Becker in 1904 from 

 Livland. I found it at Butley (Suffolk) on August 29th, 1907, when I took 

 three specimens, while I had previously taken single specimens at Palling-on- 

 Sea (Norfolk) and Barton Mills (Suffolk) in August, 1906. It is quite distinct 

 from flava in the shape of the eyes, wliich areitransvei-sely oval, in having only 

 foiu- rows of acrostichal bristles, and by its bare disc to the scutellum. 



Rhicnoessa, Lw., and Tethina, Hal. — For these genera, see under the 



Milichidse. 



OCHTHIPHILID.^. 



*Ochthiphila fasciata, Lw. — Dr. Wood finds this species in Herefordshire 

 in July, and Dr. Sharp has taken it in the New Forest (Hants) in June. It is 

 very distinct with its yellow third antennal joint and palpi, and the interrupted 

 black fasciae on the abdomen. 



*Parochthiphila coronata, Lw. — Czerny (1904) proposed this genus for those 

 species of Ochthiphila with the front orbital bristle at the middle of the frons, 

 four pairs dorso-central bristles, and mesopleurae bearing a bristle. 0. specta- 

 bilis, Lw., of the "List," belongs to this genus. P. coronata was found by Col. 

 Yerbury at Walton-on-Naze in July, 1909 ; it can be separated from P. spectahilis 

 by its black palpi and antennae. 



*Leucopis argentata, Heeger. — This is a very silvery grey species with milk- 

 white wings, the thorax very faintly striped, the abdomen with only an indication 

 of a central stripe, and the frons entirely grey. I have taken it in Cambridge- 

 shire and Suffolk by sweeping reeds in marshy places. 



MILWHID^. 



Milichia ludens, Whlbg. — Mr. H. Donisthorpe has recorded the occiu-rence 

 of this species in England (Ent. Record, 1909, p. 289), it has some connection 

 with the ant Lasius fuliginosus. 



Milichia ornata, Zett., of the " List," is now placed among the Agromyzidse 

 as Odinia maculata, Meig. 



*P'hyllomyza flavitarsis, Meig.— This much resembles P. securicornis, but 

 may be known by its dark halteres and tibiae. Col. Yerbury has taken it at 

 Walton-on-Naze (Essex), in Jime, and Christchurch (Hants), in May. It is the 

 Agrom,yza flavitarsis of Meigen ; Opomyza flavitarsis, Meig., was acknowledged 

 by Meigen himself (Syst. Beschr. vi, 384) to be the same as P. sec^mcornis. Fin. 



Desmometopa sordidum. Fin. — This is apparently the name xmder which 

 D. M-atrxim of the " List " must for the future be kno-svn. 



Meoneura. This genus of Eondani's, fovmded for Agromyza olscurella,F\n., 

 is now recognised as belonging to the Milichidse ; in addition to A. obscurella. 

 Fin., two more of the British species of Agromyza (vagans. Fin., and lactei- 

 pennis. Fin.), thus belong to this genus, while, according to the descriptions, 

 the European A. elongella, Zett., A. infuscata, Meig., A. minutissima, Zett., and 

 A. pectinata, Meig., should be placed here.
