*Phytomyza rufirornis, Zett. — I have seen specimens from Sussex, Kent, 

 Surrey, Suffolk, and Norfolk. 



Phytomyza jiavicornis. Fin., may be reinstated in the " List." I find it not 

 ixncommonly at Chippenham (Cambs.) in April. 



*Phytomyza jmlhila, Zett. — Mr. Verrall had named this species from speci- 

 mens taken near his house at Newmarket (Suffolk). 



Phytomyza terminalis, Meig. — This is the name now given to analis, Zett. 

 I have not seen a British specimen. 



* rhytomyza tridentata, Lw. — I took a female of this distinct little species 

 in the garden here (Suffolk) in September, 1909 ; it comes near fiava, but has 

 a tridentate thoracic marking, and entirely pale antennse and legs. 



Phytomyza zetterstedtii, Schin. — This is the P. m,aculipes of Zett., necBrulle, 

 and may be confirmed as British, for it appears to be not uncommon so far as 

 my experience goes. 



Phytomyza flaviventris, Zett. — This veiy little known sjiecies was recorded 

 as British by Mr. C. W. Dale. I have not been able to confirm the identification. 



Other species of Phytomyza included in the List, but, up to the present, un- 

 known to me as British, are : — P. plantaginis, Gour., notata, Meig., populicola. 

 Walk., aquilegiie, Hardy, nigra, Meig., and cinereifrons. Hardy.

Note on Liodes hrunnea, Sturm, and L. algirica, Rye. — The following is an 

 exact translation of Sturm's original description of Liodes (Anisotoma) hrunnea, 

 Jacob Sturm, Deutschlands Insecten, ii, 1807, p. 40 : " Brown-red, oval, convex, 

 shining, smooth, the elytra striated with strong punctures. Length, hardly one 

 line. Smaller, otherwise the same shape as L ferruginea, only it is more 

 pointed behind ; the thorax, too, is less narrowed in front, and therefore 

 appears to be broader. The colour is red-brown, the thorax strongly shining, 

 vei-y finely punctured. The elytra are convex, smooth, hut with roivs of very 

 strong punctures (aber mit sehr starken in Reihen stehenden Pvmkten gestreift). 

 The tibia3 are fiu-nished with small spines, the posterior ones long and strongly 

 bent inwards." (The italics are mine. H. J. D.). 



In the Entomologist's Monthly Magazine for August, 1911, p. 176, Dr. Joy 

 states, when writing of L. hrunnea -. "the elytra are parallel-sided to near their 

 basal half, the strise are finely and very closely punctured." Previous to this he 

 writes : " the original description (of hrunnea) is of little help, as it might 

 apply to many species of Liodes " {I.e. p. 167). Be this as it may, I think 

 Dr. Joy will himself admit it can only apply to a strongly punctiu-ed species, 

 and not to a finely punctured one. It is therefore clear that the hrunnea of 

 Dr. Joy's pajier is not the hrunnea of Sturm, and it does not matter what Eye 

 or anyone else may have considered hrunnea to be ; it is not Sturm's species, 

 unless the stride of the elytra are very strongly punctiired ! I do not wish in 

 any way to detract from the value of Dr. Joy's paper, or to take away any of
