329. Sigaloessa, compare Scbiner, Novara etc., p. 238, wbere some 

 further remarks about tbe genus will be found. 



330. About Asteia or Astia, compare Loew, Berl. Ent. Zeitscbr. II, 

 p. 114, wbere a new genus Feriscelis is introduced. 



331. Compare Stenbammar, Copromyziiiae Scandinaviae, Stockholm

 monograph of the family, including tbe genera Coehpa, Coinomijza, 

 Limosina, Sphaerocera, Ovygma. 



An earlier paper by Haliday: British species of tbe dipterous tribe 

 Spliaeroceridae ; in the Entom. Magaz. 1836. 



332. Borborus venalicius, n. sp. Head brownish-red, vertex darker 

 brown; several whitish-pollinose dots on the front, near tbe eyes, and 

 on the vertex; antennae brownish-red. Thorax brown, with longitudinal 

 rows of dots of gray pollen; a pair of similar spots at tbe tip of the 

 scutelhun. Abdomen blackish, hind margins of tbe segments whitish. 

 Wings faintly tinged with yellowish; a transverse brownish spot at the 

 base of the submarginal cell and another at the tip of the third vein. 

 Legs yellowish; femora darker; front tibiae with one, middle and hind 

 tibiae with two dark brown I'ings. Length: 2 — 3 mm. 



Hah. Cuba. Dr. Loew (in Jiff.) informs me that this is an african 

 species; and as I found it abundantly in Cuba, it seems probable that 

 it was brought over in slave-ships. 



333. Hippol)o-cidae. Compare: 



1. W. E. Leach, On tbe genera and species of Eproboscideous In- 

 sects. (In the Mem. Werncrian Society, Edinb. 1818, p. 547—56(1,

 1878 ; at my writing tbe i)aper is announced as being in tbe press.) 



334. OrnithoEyia confluenta Say will, I suppose, form a new genus, 

 on account of its peculiar venation. An apparently different species of 

 tbe same group was found by Mr. Wm. Holdeu on Accipiter fuscus, 

 near San Jose, Cal. (M. C. Z.j. 



335. Compare: 



1. West wood, Nvcteribia, a genus of wingless insects, in the Trans.
