LIST OF BRITISH DOLICHOPODID^. 

 BY G. H. VEBEALL. 



The DolichopodidcB in the first volume of Walker's " Insecta Bri- 

 tannica" are perhaps more carefully described than is any other 

 family in that work, owing principally to the attention which had been 

 paid to them by the late Mr. Haliday ; and, when revised by the 

 elaborate criticism of Loew, in his " Neue Beitrage," v, they become 

 very easy to name. The principal alterations in this list are the 

 adoption of Loew's genera and arrangement, as proposed in the Mono- 

 graphs of North American Diptera, and the addition of a few new 

 species. In Walker's work, 137 species and 15 genera w^ere described ; 

 I now enumerate 154 species and 34 genera. Those species marked 

 with an asterisk I require more information about, some of them 

 having been originally described from British specimens, but not 

 having been well distinguished.
