Note 15 



Phaeogenes nitidl's, Bridg. — Dur- 

 ing March, 1913, I examined the two 

 males (type and co-tj'pe) of this species 

 in Bridgman's collection, well preserved 

 in the Norwich Museum ; but I was un- 

 able to determine anything exact re- 

 specting tliem. They are co-specific 

 and the metathoracic spiracles are dis- 

 tinctly elongate, with mesopleural sulci 

 obsolete. I belie\-e them to belong to 

 the genus Plafylabiis, but am not suffi- 

 ciently assured to at present move them 

 from the position assigned them by 

 Bridgman. Thomson's label is erro- 

 neous. 



Note 16 



NoTOSEMUS ALBiBuccus, Kriech. — 

 The example refered to by me at Ichn. 

 Brit, i., .Addenda, p. 293 is a true re- 

 presentative of this species, which must 

 consequently be added to our List ; I 

 have examined Marshall's specimen 

 (Entom. 1910, p. 170).

 pcctoralis. Thorns. Opusc. Ent. xxi.

 Thorns, and Cukocephalus Katzb.,

Note 20 



CUBOCEI'HALUS BREVICORNIS,TaSCh. — 



I have seen a British y , taken at ("adder 

 Wilderness (cf. ,\nn. Scot. Nat. Hist. 



1907, p. 91), and have myself captured 

 the species in Suffolk, thus confirming 

 its indigenous occurrence. 



Note 21 



I have examined a Scots j of Micro- 

 crypt it.s .scricaii.s from Peter Cameron's 

 collection, confirming the species as 

 British. 



Note 22 



.\PTEROPHVGAS PARADOXUS, Bridg. 



Mr. Ernest Elliott writes : "This species 

 cannot belong to Cronnodca, Fst., be- 

 cause the areola is not obsolete, the 

 costa is not moved up nearly to the base 

 of the metathorax, and the petiolararea, 

 being only equal in size to the metano- 

 tum, does not occupy nearly the whole 

 upper surface of the metathorax." We 

 must, then, restore the generic name 

 Aptcrophyga.s to the list. 



Note 23 



Glyplticncniis. — Cf. Prof. Haber- 

 mehl's " Revision der Cryptiden-Ciattung 

 Stylocrypttts C. G. Thoms. unter Ber- 

 ucksichtigung Gravenhorstscher and 

 Thomsonscher Typen" (Deut. Ent. Zeit. 

 1912, pp. 165-190). The i table at 

 p. 171 is defective. 



Note 24 



Pliygaclciion ctnibigttii.-;, Grav. — Des- 

 vignes' examples proved to be Micro- 

 cry f>tus (Thtloiii i lut tor ^nd Bignell's pair 

 wrongly named (Entom. 1910, p. 172). 

 Col. Nurse has, however, confirmed the 

 species as British (lib. cit. p. 314, where 

 read P. iTiiibigiiii.'i for Chilosia grossa 

 in my note) bv breeding it in Suffolk 

 from a Syrphid Dipteron. 



Note 25 



Hkmithles RUFL'Lrs, Thoms. — .\. v 

 of this species was captured by .Mfred 

 Beaumont at Chobham in Surrev, and 

 subsequently presented tome byChitty; 

 it was correctly named for the former by 

 Dr. Sigismund Brauns, who doubtless 

 communicated the fact (cf. Ichn. Brit. ii. 

 117) to Schmiedeknecht.

 by Dr. A. Roman of llpsala, and this
