Mr. Timberlake at the last meeting. Dr. Aldrich said, in a 
recent letter: “I was greatly interested in this species, because 
it was the only one known of the genus, large as it is, which 
occurs in a tropical climate. There are at least 350 species, and 
I think near 400, known in this genus now.” What seems to 
me equally interesting is that the Oriental Collection of Mr. 
Muir contains a single specimen of what appears to be the same 
species from Tokyo, Japan, May, 1913. 
Limnophora arcuata Stein. 
The recently captured species of Anthomyid “hovering fly,” 
with the four prominent black spots on the gray abdomen, 
reported on by Mr. Illingworth recently,* was identified by Dr. 
Aldrich as Limnophora arcuata Stein (Berlin Ent. Zeitsch., 
Vol. 42, p. 201), described from Georgia and Louisiana. It 
has since been found rather widely over the United States, in 
Porto Rico, St. Thomas, and Brazil. In 1920, Malloch (Trans. 
American Ent. Soc., Vol. 46, p. 145) made it the type of a new 
genus, Eulimnophora. Dr. Aldrich says, “The characters men- 
tioned seem rather slight, and I have postponed changing the 
name of the species until I can get a more comprehensive view 
of the genera allied to this so as to see how many there should 
really be.” This species is now known from Mount Olympus, 
Palolo Valley, Kaimuki, and Moanalua Valley, Oahu, and Kala- 
lau, Kauai. 
Pygophora lobata Stein. 
A specimen of Anthomyid collected by Fullaway in Guam 
(No. 1259) was sent to Dr. Aldrich, and was identified by Mal- 
loch as Pygophora lobata Stein.
