By the kindness of Professor Packai-d, I was enabled to see the de- 

 scription of this species. The following sentence is at the end of the 

 description: ^' Blepharopterce are often found in caves, where they are 

 said to breed in the excrement of bats." The description occurs as a foot- 

 note to an article by Professor Packard on "A New Cave Fauna in 

 Utah," but the specimens described were from Hundred Dome Cave, 

 near Glasgow, Kentucky, and were also reported from Wyandotte Cave, 

 among others. 



This is the Anihomyia of Cope's "Fauna of Wyandotte Cave." Ind. Geol. 

 Surv., 1872, 16C. For description and figure see also, Packard's "Cave Fauna 

 of North America," 1889, 80.— W. S. B.
