Peeitta Becker (Zeitschr. Hymen. Dipt., vi., 10, 1906) apparently 

 belongs to the Clifellaritice, even though Becker says " nov. genus 

 " Odontomyinarmn" because he says " Aus der Diskoidalzelle entspringen 

 " 4 deutliche Langsadern," and beyond that he says that the scutellum 

 is unarmed which is a character that I believe never occurs in the 

 tStratioinjiimp. The hitter character woidd place it near Lasiojia, with 

 Avhich the form of the face seems to agree, but it is said to have 

 antennae like Oxi/cera, a six-segmented abdomen in the female, and 

 bare wings. When founding the genus Becker had seen only two 

 females from Algeria. 



* There can be no doubt tbat Meigen establislied the genus ClitcUarin in 1 803 for Stratiomys cphippiuni, 

 but lie enlarged the scope of the genus in 1S22, and as a genus had previously been proposed for S. cpIiippliDit 

 I see no objection to Meigen's name remaining for the rest of his enlarged genus, and consequently I do not see 

 any need for Kertesz's new name Adoxomyia.
