Notes on Diptera.

Trypanea. 
Entomologists in Hawaii have for some time questioned the 
correctness of using Tephritis as the genus of the three species 
of Trypetidae, crassipes, cratericola, and dubautiae, with the 
large fuscous spot near the apex of the wing and the radiating 
fuscous bands. A short time ago I sent specimens of these 
three species and of 7. swezeyi to Dr. Aldrich, for his opinion, 
and received the following reply: ‘The three species which you 
were in doubt about undoubtedly go in Trypanea, or as origi- 
nally spelled and preferred by Bezzi, Trupanea. The amended 
spelling is on the authority of Hendel, which is about as good 
as anything could be in this family; and I prefer the corrected 
form, as undoubtedly the Greek ‘u’ should be represented in 
English by ‘y’ as in the word ‘psyche.’ Tephritis swezeyi is 
placed in the correct genus, as you thought. I should mention 
that Trypanea covers the same group as Urella in the sense of 
Loew’s Monograph.” 
These species, crassipes (Thomson), cratericola Grimshaw, 
and dubautiae Bryan, are therefore to be referred to Trypanea 
Schrank (Briefe Donaumoor, p. 147, 1795). This genus is 
characterized by a slender body, scutellum with two bristles, and 
pattern of the wing, star-shaped and limited to the apex, with 
the rest of the wing immaculate or only spotted fuscous (in 
contrast to the non-radiating, reticulate pattern of Tephritis, 
covering nearly the whole wing). These two genera are well 
characterized and figured in Bezzi, Indian Trypaneids ( fruit- 
flies) in the collection of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, Memoirs 
of the Indian Museum, Vol. III, pp. 162, 166, Pl. X, 1913. 
Dolichopus exsul Aldrich. 
Dr. Aldrich identified a series of Dolichopodidae, previously 
known as Dolichopus sp., which I sent him, as this species, 
which he recently described in Proc. U. S. Nat. Museum, Vol. 
61, Art. 25, p. 15, 1922. This new species was mentioned by 

Proce. Haw. Ent. Soc., V, No. 2, September, 1923.
