MICROPEZIDAE. 



♦pallipos Say, J. Acad. Phil. Ill, 97, 2; Compl. Wr. II, 84; Wiede- 

 mann, Auss. Zw. II, 548, 3 (Micropeza). — Missouri (Say) ; Huds. 

 B. Terr. (M. C. Z.). 



♦univitta Walker, List, etc. IV, 1049. — New York. 



Aloa Walker, List, etc. IV, 1053. — Jamaica. 



erythrocephala Fabricius, System. Antl. 260, 1; Wiedemann, Auss. 

 Zw. II, 532, 1. — Brazil (Fabr.); Mexico (Walker, List, etc. 

 IV, 1055). 

 fasciata Fabricius, System. Ent. 781, 43 (3fusca); Ent. System. IV, 

 336, 102 (id); System. Antl. 262, 9; Wiedemann, Auss. Zw. II, 

 536, 7. — West Indies. 

 * maculosa Loew, Centur. VII, 88. — Cuba. 

 *placida Loew, Centur. VII, 90. — Cuba. 



NB. C. cmgulnta Loew, Centur. VII, 87 and C. platycnema Loew, 

 Centur. VII, 86, are from New Granada. 



Observation. Mr. B. Desvoidy, Myod. 736—38 describes four species of a 

 genus Niria, which he identifies with Neriiis Fahricins. One of these species, 

 which Ihelie>e to have recognizod, is a Calobata (C. geomdra, see above). It is very 

 probable, that the other three species likewise are Cnhbatae and have nothing to 

 do with the genus Nerhts Fab., as defined by Wiedemann, Auss. Zw. 11, 549: 

 Neria atripes R. Desvoidy, 'j 



„ carolinensis E. Desvoidy, > all from Carolina. 

 „ lovgipes (Fab.), R. Desvoidy, j 

 The descriptions are very short, and it seems probable, judging from them, that 

 all three apply to differently colored individuals of the same species. 



Micropeza. 



Meigen, Illiger's Magaz. ; 1803. (292). 



*pro(Iucta Walker, List, etc. IV, 1056. — Georgia (Walk.); Cuba 

 (Loew, Berl. Z. 1868, 167). 



diyisa Wiedemann, Auss. Zw. II, 540 (Calobata). — Mexico. 

 pectoralis Wiedemann, Auss. Zw. II, 540 (Calobata). — Mexico. 

 [These two species are placed here in accordance with Mr. Loew's 

 statement in the Berl. Ent. Z. 1868, 393, 394.] 



liissa. 



Meigen, System. Beschr. V, 370 (1826); this genus is provisionally pla- 

 ced in this family in accordance with Loew, Monogr. I, 39. 



Lissa varqoes Walker, List, etc. IV, 1046. — Ohio, is Cord)/- 

 Jura bimaculata Loew. — The two other species, L. carboncria 

 (New York), and cornuta (Huds. B. Terr.), both 1. c. 1047, do 

 not seem to belong to Lissa at all.
