Bitlis NOTHeSON ORTENTAL SYRPHIDAE: 
Wii! DESCRIPTIONS OF 
NEW SPECIES. 
Part II. 
By E. BRUNETTI. 
(Plate xiii.) 
My previous paper on this family appeared in April, 1908 
and revised our knowledge of certain oriental genera up to 
that date, including descriptions of thirty-nine new species. 
In the present paper thirty-five additional species and some 
new varieties or ‘‘ forms’’ are described, and those set up by 
other authors recorded, with such synonymical and other notes 
as appear of interest. 
Two or three genera are, perforce, treated herein tentatively, 
such as Sphaerophoria and Eumerus, whilst many species of 
Syrphus and Eristalis are still imperfectly understood. Dr. 
Meijere has made much progress in identifying and redescribing 
several of the older authors’ species of lristalis and offers a 
valuable tabulation of those known to him. 
Subfamily SYRPHINAE. 
PARAGUS., 
One new species rufiventris recently described by me (Rec. 
Ind. Mus., viii, 157, ™ 1913) from Assam, the Western Hima- 
layas and Ceylon, Type in Indian Museum, 
Paragus serratus, I’. 
This common and widely distributed species extends to 
Assam; Sadiya, 23-xi-rr, and Dibrugarh, 17-19 xi-rr. I have 
it in my own collection, taken by myself from Cawnpore 
29 xi-04, Calcutta 1-iio7 and Rangoon gii-o6. It is common at 
Pusa in Bihar, 
Paragus indica, Brun. 
Pipizella indica, Brun., Rec. Ind. Mus. II, 52. 
This species was wrongly placed by me in Pipizella Further 
specimens in the Indian Museum are from Darjiling, Matiana, 
and Tenmalai (Travancore), 21-xi-o8. It is perhaps identical 
with Paragus politus, W. described from China. The sides of
