which is in the swamp district, but at the foot of the Serra de Estrella, 

 so that some moimtain-forest species are found together with those 

 common to the coast. A list is given of the 38 species determined. 

 The second collecting area was near PetropoUs, and includes the 

 neighbouring mountains, which in places rise to about 6,500 feet. 

 Twenty-seven of the species found in Xerem and 18 others were 

 obtained. After enumerating 13 species found in various other 

 localities, a list is given of 9 species from Sarapuhy, a typical swamp 

 district. The lists include most of the species occurring around Kio, 

 in the neighbouring mountains and on the borders of adjoining States, 

 amounting to some 80 in all in this comparatively small area. Ortho- 

 stylus anihiguus, gen. et sp. n., Melanotabanus fiiliginosus, gen. et sp. n., 

 and Dicladocera conspicua, sp. n., are described. The name of Pseiuki- 

 canthocera sylverii, Macq., is proposed for the species described by 

 Macquart as Silvius sylverii, and later called Tabanus macroceratus 

 by Bigot.

The species named Ceutrorhynchus setijer by the author proves to 

 have been described earlier as Cotocripus caridei by Brethes from 

 Buenos Aires and this name must stand for it. Two new species, 

 Johannseniella fluviatilis, sp. n.,and Ctdicoides pachymerus, sp. n., are 

 described. The following non-bloodsucking species are described : 

 Ceratopogon bromelicola, sp. n., a true Ceratopogon, the larvae of which 

 live in the water of Bromeliaceae, and which is probably widely distri- 

 buted; C. filibranchius, sp. n., found around the breathing roots of the 

 Avicennia growing in marshy land; Forcipomyia squamosa, sp. n., 

 F. sqimmitibia, sp. n., F. bicolor, sp. n., and Atrichopogon jiavipes, sp. n., 

 described from individuals of both sexes from a hole filled with sea- water 

 and from a light trap near marshy land. On account of their hairless 

 wings, the following species, taken in a light trap at Manguinhos, are 

 placed in the genus Palpofnyia, viz. : P. spinosa, sp. n., P. multilineata, 

 sp. n., P.fuscivenosa, sp. n., and P. dorsofasciata, sp. n.

 occidentalis, sp. n., on Dasypus novemcinctus ; Pulex conepati, sp. n., 

 on Conepatus siiffocans, Illiger ; and Pulex irritans var. bahiensis,
