46. Bomhylius canescens, Mik : our usual small Bomhylius with 

 uuspotted wings is this s}3ecies ; whether we have more than one 

 small species I am at present doubtful. 



47. Bhampliomyia spissirostris, Tin. : two or three specimens at 

 Tongue on June 18th, 1884. 



48. B. dentipes, Ztt. : a pair at Lynton on June 17th, 1883. 



49. B.fumipennis, Ztt. : three specimens {2 ^ ,1 ? ) at Muchalls 

 on June 4th, 1884, and a pair (which I believe belong to the same 

 species) at E^annoch in June, 1870. It is a fine species, and the only 

 large one I know as British which has black halteres. 



50. B. j^iu^Jiijjes, Eln. : this is very close to B. geniculata, Mg., 

 which I have already introduced as British (Ent, Mo. Mag., xix, 224), 

 but B. plumipes has the legs more brownish-yellow ; my two species 

 are clearly those intended by Zetterstedt. B. plumipes was abundant 

 at Itannoch in June, 1870. 



51. B. simplex, Ztt. : a rather small lightish grey species, which 

 I have taken abundantly in May on the banks of the Cuckmere and 

 the Ouse in Sussex, and also at Inverness and Aberlady in June, 

 seems to me to answer very well to Zetterstedt's description of this 

 supposed rare species. 



52. Empis caudatula, Lw. : common in June or the end of May ; 

 I have specimens from five localities in Sussex, two in Cambridgeshire 

 and one in Surrey. 



53. E. cEstiva, Lw. : very common in June and the beginning of 

 July ; I have specimens from numerous localities, extending from 

 Penzance to the Lake District and to Newmarket. 



54. E. volucris, Mg. : a species which I believe to be this was 

 abundant at Lyndhurst on June 22nd and 26th, 1872. 



55. Oreogeton flavipes, Mg. : common and widely distributed from 

 Penzance to Braemar, and occurring from June to September ; it is 

 undoubtedly often mistaken for a Hilara ; Stephens reputed it as 

 British in his Catalogue. 



56. Clinocera plectrum, Mik : a few specimens at (I think) Corrie- 

 mulzie Falls, Braemar, in July, 1873, as I am informed by Mik who 

 haft had all my ClinocercB to examine. 



57. Lepidomyia alhiseta, Ztt. : two females at Three Bridges on 

 August 26th, 1874. 



{To be concluded in our next).
