21. — Siphona is placed as Brauer awl Bergenstamm placer! it, and they knew 

 more about Tachinides than anybody else in the world. As to Mr. Dale having a 

 third species, I dare say I could produce a thirteenth species, but 1 am not satisfied 

 with the distinctions and the nomenclature. Anyhow Siphona, which in our old 

 arrangement was a Tachinid, can have no relationship to Prosena which was a 

 Dexid. 



I take this opportunity of noting a few corrections to my "List." 



Ditomt/ia fasciata has been given to me by Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, through a 

 specimen taken by Mr. W. H. Tuck, at Tostock, near Bury St. Edmunds, in May, 

 1898, and consequently the species may now be considered truly British. 



Chironomus fuscipennis, Mg., ought not to have been in italics. I caught a 

 female at Boxhill in 18fi7, and one at Colwich in 1889, and I possess a third female 

 from Painswick, taken by Mr. C. J. Watkins, which was also caught in 1889. 



TheriopJectes luridus, Fallen ; several females of this well marked species were 

 taken by Col. Yerbury at Nethy Bridge, in June, 1900. Even though this species 

 was amongst our " reputeds," I believe this to be the first genuine record. 



Chilosia carbon aria, Egger, was accidentally omitted from the " List." 



Syrphus torvux is not S. topiarius, Mg., but .S'. topiarius A not. S. topiarius, 

 Meigen, was only - 1 ?. vitripennis, Meigen. 



Chrysochlamys rufteornis, F., may have the italics removed, as Mr. F. C. Adams 

 has taken two specimens. 



Wyalurgus lucidus, Mg. This very distinct Tachinid has been taken by Dr. J. 

 H. Wood, who gave me two specimens, from Ashperton Park (July 12th, 1899) and 

 Woolhope (July 3rd, 1899). It was sent to me as Newor&a rubriea, Mg., but I 

 could only reply that it was not a, Nemorrea at all, though what it, was I could not 

 then say. 



Hyetodesia vagans, Fallen, is a true British species. The record given bv Mr. 

 B.C.Bradley is quite correct, and 1 have seen his specimens. 1 had previously 

 caught and correctly named one female, but hatl distrusted my own identification. 



Sussex Lodge, Newmarket : 

 March, 1902. 



Acletoxenus syrphoides, Frnfd., at "Lyndhurst. — Recently, when looking over 

 some unnamed Dipfera, I noticed two which strongly reminded me of the beautiful 

 illustration of this fly by Mr. Edwin Wilson, published in vol. xxxviii of this 

 Magazine, and a reference to same, aided by the very lucid description given by 

 Mr. Collin, leaves no doubt in my mind of their identity. I can therefore record 

 the capture of a J on September 19th, 1898, and .a 9 on July 15th, 1900, both in 

 my garden at the above place. — F. C. Adams, ")i», .Ashley Gardens, S.W. : March 

 29M, 1902. 



Chrysochlamys ruficornis, F., in (he New Forest (supplementary). — Since the 

 publication in the April number of this Magazine of my " Notes on Diptera in the 

 New Forest during 1901," 1 have come to the conclusion the capture of C. ruficornis, 

 F., for identification of which I am indebted to Mr. Verrall and his nephew Mr.
