*Minettia trispina, Rncl. — A species allied to flaviventris, Costa, livit dis- 

 tinguished chiefly by having three spines at the end of the middle tibia. In 

 Becker's Table of Species it is wrongly included among those with only three 

 pairs of dorso-central bristles, and I believe that de Meijere (Tijd. v. Ent., 1907, 

 186), was led astray by this mistake of Becker's and redescribed it under the 

 name uncinata. Col. Yerbiuy found it in Ireland (Waterville and Glenbeigh) 

 in 1901, and at Porthcawl (Glamorgan) in 1903 and 1906. I took a male at 

 Worth (Dorset) in August, 1906. 



*Sapromyza illota, Lvv. — This is a dull yellow species with antenna; and 

 palpi darkened at their tips, arista only pubescent, foiu' dorso-central bristles, 

 acrostichal bristles in two rows, and tip of the wing indistinctly darkened. It 

 is a somewhat common species and I think there can be little doubt bvit that 

 S. pallida. Fin., was inchided in the British List on the strength of specimens 

 of this species. 



Saprormjza affinis, Zett., was i-ecorded by Mr. W. Evans in 1904, from 

 Newpark, Midlothian (Ann. Scot. Nat. Hist., p. 129) ; it has been taken by 

 Col. Yerbury at Nairn in June, and at Nethy Bridge (Inverness) in July, by 

 Mr. J. E. Malloch at Bonhill (Dmnbarton), I have foiuid it in Suffolk, and it 

 has occurred in Herefordshire. 



*Sapromyza intcrstincta. Fin. — I have seen specimens of this small 

 species taken by Dr. D. Sharj) in the New Forest in July, 1904 ; it has the cross- 

 veins darkened, and fairly close together, arista almost bare, three pairs of 

 dorso-central bristles and acrostichal bristles in four rows. 



*Sapromyza tesquie, Beck., is closely allied to the last species but the cross- 

 veins are not so close together, and the arista is distinctly pubescent ; it is the 

 species recorded by Mr. Verrall in 1894 as hiumhrata, Lw., which consequently 

 should be struck out of the List. 



*Sapro'myza limnca, Beck. — A small species with the crossveins, and the 

 jiuiction with the costa of the radial cubital and discal veins, darkened, three 

 pairs of dorso-central bristles, and strong acrostichal bristles in two rows. It 

 was found by Col. Yerbury at Porthcawl (Glamorgan) about the middle of June, 

 1903, and Dr. Wood has taken it in Herefordshire. 



Sapromyza sexpunctata, Mg., which was in the List of Reputed British 

 species, has been recorded by Col. Yerbury from Ireland (Irish Nat., 1902, p. 91). 



*Sapromyza opaca. Beck. — Col. Yerbvxry took tliis species, which is closely 

 allied to the last, at Porthcawl (Glamorgan) in June and July, 1903. 



'*Sapromyza decaspila, Lw. — This species has two dark spots or blotches on 

 each of the fourth and fifth abdominal segments, acrostichal bristles weak and 

 in foxir rows, the palpi darkened at the tip and the arista almost bare. Dr. 

 Sharp and Mr. C. G. Lamb found it in the New Forest in July 1904 and 

 1905. 



*Sapromyza hasalis, Ztt., is easily recognised by the darkened basal joints 

 of the antennte, darkened tips of the jjalpi, and the presence of only one 

 sternopleural bristle. Dr. Sharp found it in the New Forest in Augvist and 

 September, 1904, and I took it in some nvmibers at Wormsley Park (Oxfordshire) 

 in August, 1907.
