Leucophenga varia Walk. {Drosophiki quadrimaciilaia Walk.). 

 Kushla. 



L. maculosa Coq. Kushla. I have given this as a synonym of qiiad- 

 ri))iaciilata Walk. (Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer., 9; 324.) This is an 

 error, due to carelessness in checking up Walker's description. 



Chymomyza amoena Loew. Kushla. 



C. procnemis Williston. Kushla. Mobile. 



Mycodrosophila dimidiata Loew. Kushla. The genus Mycodrosoptiila 

 Oldenberg (Arch. Naturgesch., 80 A, 2, 4) has not hitherto been 

 recognized from North America. Drosophila dimidiata Loew., 

 D. thoracis Williston, and D. projectans Sturtevant all belong 

 here. The genus is characterized by having the anterior pair 

 of dorsocentrals minute or missing, and the distal costal break 

 unusually deep. The known species are all shining black with 

 pale-yellow markings.

 D. funebris Fabr. Kushla. 



D. guttifera Walk. Kushla, Gulfcrest. 



D. melanica Sturtevant. Kushla. 



D. melanissima Sturtevant. Kushla. In October, 191 6, I found this 

 species in large numbers around moist sawdust made from a liv- 

 ing pine tree (Pimis palusfris) by a boring beetle. 



D. melanogaster Meig. Kushla. Mobile. 



D. modesta Sturtevant. Kushla.
