2 GO NOTES. 



299. Tephroncta h'lmilis. In the Monographs, IIT, p. 125; Mr. 

 Loew rojf(ts the earlier name given to this species by Mr v. d. Wulp, 

 on the ground that .,it has been preoccupied by Fabricius". This 

 cannot be sustained, as neither of the two generic names, Herina or 

 2\'p]iro)io(a existed at the time of Fabricius. 



300. Trypeta Narytia Walker. There are four specimens in the 

 Brit. Mus.; two of them are Cliattojisis aciica, and one of these bears 

 Walker's hxbel „Narytia", the two others, marked „Florida, Doubleday", 

 seem to be TcpJtronota hwnilis. 



301. Euxesta annonae; Schiner, Novava etc., p. 283, places this 

 species in the genus uimdlnjf:n Macquart (Hist. Nat. Dipt. II, p. 440) 

 together with Urophora acuta Macq. (1. c, p. ibH}, from Columbia, 

 S. America. 



302. Idiotypa Foerster, Proctotrypidae 1856, has the priority. 



303. See the papers of ]\Ir. Loew: „0n the North American 

 Trypetidae" in the Monogr. of the N. A. Dipt , Vol. I, and „Review of 

 the N. A. Trypetina", in the Monogr. etc.. Vol III. On the european 

 Trypetae, see the large work of Mr. Loew: Die Earopaischen Bohr- 

 fliegen, Wien 1S62; in folio, with 2ii plates of magnified photographs. 

 The literature about the Trypetidae will be found in Schiners: Diptcra 

 Austriaca, Die Oesterr. .Trypetiden ; Wien, 1858. 



304. Schiner (Novara etc., p. 263) draws attention to the probable 

 identity of Leptoxys with Anat^trepha. But this identity seems certain, 

 owing to the fact that Macquart himself, in the Dipt. Exot. II, 3, p. 

 216, mentions the Dacus serpcKthms Wied. as belonging to Leptoxya. 

 Macquart, 1. c. improves Lcptoxyda in the more correct Lepioscy^. {I 

 find in Agassiz „Index universalis" LepAoxys Rafinesque, 18 . ., Mollusca.) 



305. Eurosta, Loew, 1873; Eurostus, Dallas, Ilemipt. 1851. 

 Peronyma, Loew, 1873; Ferovymus, Peters, Volitantia, 1868, 

 J£itxesta, Loew, 1867; Evxestus, Wollaston, Erotyl. 1858. 

 SnoJeiut, Loew, 1873; Erolenes, Le Conte, Carab. 1853. 

 Pterocalla, Rondani, 1848; FtewcalUs, Passerini, Hemipt. 1863. 



All these names do not interfere with each other, according to my 

 opinion, and can remain. Should a change be thought necessary, add 

 the syllable Neo. 



306. Icaria Saussure, Vespidae 1858, has the priority. 



307. Aspilofca Foerster, Bracouida 1862. 



308. Trypeta alba. Mr. Riley told me that he bred it from seeds 

 of Vernonia. I found it abundantly on the flowers of that plant. 



309. About the systematic position of the Lonchaeidae , and 

 especially of tlie genera Pcdloptrra and Loncliaea, compare Loew, in 

 Monogr. etc. Ill, p. 8 — 10. — About the european species of PalJoptera, 

 compare Loew, Schles Entom. Zeitschr. 1857. Do not overlook Haliday's 

 note about these genera in Westwood's Synopsis of the genera of British 

 Insects, p. 150, at the end of Vol. II. of his Introduction. 



310. Compare Loew: die Europ. Arten der Gatt. Sapromyza in his
