IQ15.| E. BRUNETTI: Notes on Oriental Syrphidae. 229 
Eristalis orientalis, Wied. 
Wiedeman described the ~ only. Meijere records and des- 
cribes the 2 from Tosari, Java [Kobus]. Some of both sexes are 
in the Indian Museum from Sikkim and the Darjiling District. 
Eristalis niger, Wied. 
The » redescribed by Meijere from Sukabumi, Java [ Kramer]. 
A 2, without data, is under this name in the Indian Museum, 
identified by Bigot, but I cannot be sure that it is this species. 
Eristalis sinensis, Wied. 
Two specimens from Assam are in my collection purchased 
some years ago in a miscellaneous lot of diptera at a sale. 
Eristalis taphicus, Wied. 
A few in the Indian Museum from Karachi, both sexes. Ver- 
rall claims this to be a variety of the European aeneus, Scop., from 
a series taken at Aden, and this may probably be the case. 
Eristalis splendens, Le Guillon. 
Apparently generally distributed in the East, Meijere record- 
ing it from Erima, Papua [Bzvoj. I possess one specimen from 
Key Island. 
Eristalis tortuosa, Walk. 
This species, described in Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond., v, 266 (1861), 
was omitted from Van der Wulp’s Catalogue. The @ only is 
mentioned, coming from Tondano. There is no indications as to 
where the type is located. 
Eristalis suavissimus, Walk. 
Meijere records from Meranke, South Papua [Koch]. 
Eristalis postcriptus, Walk. 
One in my collection from Papua, but I do not know if the 
identification is correct. 
Eristalis resolutus, Walk. 
Recorded from several localities in Papua by Meltjere. He 
redescribes both sexes. 
Eristalis muscoides, Walk. 
Meranke, Etna Bay, South Papua [Koch]. Recorded and 
noted by Meijere, both sexes.
