EEPUTED BEITISH SPECIES OF TIPULIDM, &c. 



Dixa serotina, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 217 ; Curt., B. E., 409 : reputed on the authority 



of Haliday, as occurring in Ireland on the verge of the sea. I believe Meigen's 



species remains unrecognised. 

 Limnobiafusca, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 133; Staph., Sys. Cat., II, 244 : this species also 



has, I believe, remained unrecognised since Meigen described it. Can it be 



Bicranomyia turpis, Wlk. ? if so, Meigen has wrongly figured the position of 



the large cross vein. 

 L. pahuUna, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 140 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 245 : this must be very 



near L. sylvicola, Schum. ; British Museum specimens are a Dicranomyia, like 



a dark D. chorea. 



L. sexpitnctata, F., Sp. Ins., II, 405 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 244 : probably only L. 

 tripunctata, F. 



L. maculipennis, Mg., Sys. Bes., 1, 136; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 44 : may be D. ornata, Mg. 



L. inusta, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 135, = macrostiyma, Schum. ? ; Wlk., I. B. D., Ill, 



298, = D. mitss, ? Mg. 

 L. stigma, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 138 ; Wlk., I. B. D., Ill, 298, = D. mitis, Mg. ? 

 L. sexmaculafa, Mcq., D., N. P. Tip., 91 ; Wlk., I. B. D., Ill, 303, = Goniomyia 



sexguttata, Dale. 

 L. plebeia, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 127 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 244, = Limnophila Jilata, 



Wlk. ? 

 L. leucophcBa, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 127 ; Wlk., I. B. D., Ill, 290, = L. nemoralis, Mg. 

 L. alhifrons, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 137 ; Wlk., I. B. D., Ill, 295, = D. modesta, Mg. ? 

 Tipula ocellaris, L., F. S., 1751 ; Curt., B. E., 50, = Epiphragma picta, F. 

 JErioptera montana, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 110 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 242. 

 E. grisea, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 112 ; Curt., B. E., 557, = MolopMlus ; Wlk., I. B. D., 



Ill, 276, = Erioptera ! trivialis ? 

 Lininobia transversa, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 123, perhaps a Dactylolahis ; Steph., Sys. 



Cat., II, 245 : the specimen in the British Museum is a large Amalopis. 

 Trichocera maculipennis, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 214 ; Steph. Sys. Cat., II, 250. 

 r. parua, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 213; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 82 : the European species of 



Trichocera are too insufiiciently distinguished to allovt' sinking this as a fa?-, of 



hiemalis without closer examination. 

 Anisomera obscura, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 210 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 250. 

 A. nigra, Ltr., Gen. Cr., IV, 260 ; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 82, = A. aqualis, Lw. ? 

 A. bicolor, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 209 ; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 82. 

 A. vittata, Mg., Sys. Bes., VI, 292 ; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 82, = A. Burmeisteri, Lw. ?, 



or Peronecera fuscipennis, Curt. (t. Schin.). 

 Amalopis geniculata, Mg., Sys. Bes., I, 124 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 245 : the specimen 



in the British Museum is a small true Amalopis. 

 Phalacrocera replicata, L., F. S., 1755 ; Steph., Sys. Cat., II, 245 : the only speci- 

 mens I have seen were Limnobia quadrinotata, Mg. 



Pachyrrhina pratensis, L., F. S., 1745 ; Wlk., B. M. Cat., 64 : surely must be 

 British, but I cannot find it.
