 Linn. Ent. iii. p. 459 (1848). 



A species described by Macquart as Asilus armatus (see 

 Dipt. Exot. Suppl. 1, p. 219, pi. viii. fig. 17, 1846) has been 

 placed, evidently in error, under Eutolmus in Kertesz's Cat. 

 The reference given to Loew, Beschr. Europ. Dipt. ii. p. 164, 

 note 2 (1871), refers to Machimus armatus, Jaenn., a Euro- 

 pean species now stated to be a synonym of Machimus pi/ipes, 

 Meig. From the figure of Asilus armatus it is evidently not 

 a species. of Eutolmus or Machimus, if the figure is at all 

 correct. -'<^'"^"'^'^-=' ^ 



The genus has thus not yet been recorded from the 

 Australasian Region nor from the Oriental Region.
