Hewitt (C. G.). Outline of Entomological Work projected for 1916. — 

 Agric. Gaz. Canada, Ottaiva, iii, no. 5, May 191G, pp. 400-402. 



The increase in the numbers of the warble fly [Hyjwderma] in certain 

 parts of Quebec devoted to dairy farms has led to an enquiry into the 

 distribution and means of control of these insects. The study of 

 ticks affecting live-stock will be continued. Further data will be 

 obtained on the breeding habits and control of Canadian mosquitos. 

 Experiments will be carried out on the control of bed-bugs by super- 

 heating. 



DoLLMAN (H. C). Glossina morsitans, Westw. Some Notes on the 

 (^ Parasitisation of its Pupae. — Trans. Entom. Soc. London; 



London, nos. 3 and 4, 1915, 2nd June 1916, pp. 394-396, 1 plate. 



Pupae of Glossina morsitans collected from beneath fallen or felled 

 trees in the district of Namaula, North-west Rhodesia, in August 

 and September 1915, showed a high degree of parasitism by Muiilla 

 glossinae, Turn. Adults of M. glossinae emerged between 28th August 

 and 9th September ; the total number, viz., 63, included only one 

 female.

 on allied Species. — Canadian Entomologist, London, Ont., xlviii, 

 no. 5, May 1916, pp. 149-150. 



Phanurus emersoni, sp. n., reared from Tabanid eggs at Dallas, 

 Texas, is described. Notes are given on the allied species, P. opacus, 

 How., P.floridanus, Ashm., and P. ovivorus, Ashm. 



TowNSEND (C. H. T.). New Genera and Species of Australian 

 Muscoidea. — Canadian Entomologist, London, Ont., xlviii, no. 5, 

 May 1916, pp. 151-160. 



A number of new genera and species of Australian flies are proposed 

 and described, including Paracalliphora (genotype CaUiphora oceaniae, 

 E,. D.) and Tracheomyia. The genotype of the latter. Oestrus macropi, 

 Frogg., occurs in the larval stage in the windpipe of the kangaroo. 

 This species appears to be an endemic Australian species, and the larval 

 habitat is unique. It may be allied to Pharyngomyia or Pharyngobolus, 

 but in its larval characters more closely approaches Oestrus.

 ■ — Jl. Washington Acad. Sci., Washington, D.C., v, no. 20, 

 4th December 1915, pp. d44-646. [Reprint received 14th June 

 1916.] 



The generic name Cochliomyia is proposed for the screw-worm fly 

 [Chryso?nyia macellaria]. This genus is said to differ from Chrysomyia, 

 R. D., in the character of the epistome.
