There are many other species in the collection worthy of notice, 

 such as all the British species of Stratiomys and Chrysonotus 

 hipunctatus, Scop., among the Strntiomyidce ; Atylotiis fulvus, Mg., of 

 the TahanidcB ; Lasiopogon cinctus, P., a fine series from the New 

 Forest, taken last year by Colonel Terbury, and Dioctria Reinliardi, 

 W., of the Asilidce ; Anthrax fenestrata, Fin., of the Bombylidce ; 

 Oncodes gihbosus, L., and Paracrocera globulus, Pz., of that strange 

 Family the Gyrtidce ; Dictenidia himaculata, F., and Ctenophora 

 Haveolata, F., &c., of the Tipulidce. 



All the Families of Diptera above referred to have been arranged, 

 as well as the calyptrate MuscidcB (except the Anthomyince) , but the 

 AnthomyincB and Acalypfrata are at present entirely unarranged. 



I cannot conclude without a grateful acknowledgment of my 

 obligations to Mr. E. E. Austen (to whom is due the arrangement of 

 the collection) for much information both as to locality, structure, 

 etc. In fact, he has very kindly helped me in every way, so that 

 without his assistance this notice would have been very meagre.

A NEW SPECIES OF ANOPLOQNATHID^ IN THE OXFORD 



MUSEUM. 



BY JOHN W. SHIPP. 



The curious genus Spodochlamys was founded by Burmeister 

 (Ent. Handb., iv, 2, p. 529) for the reception of S. ccssarea, Burm. {I.e.). 



Bates (Biol. Centr.-Amer. Col., ii, 2, p. 294) describes and figures 

 a second species, which he calls cupreola ; this is fusco-cupreous in 

 colour, and in this is widely distinct from S. Poultoni, which is of a dark 

 olivaceous-green colour. 8. mirabilis, "Waterh., is described as " oh- 

 longa, brwtnea, ceneotincta, supra dense fortiter punctata, subtus nitida."" 

 The four known species now are : —
