230 Records of the Indian Museum. [VoL~ Sale 
Eristalis externus, Walk. 
A o and 2 under this name exist in the Indian Museum 
collection. ‘They were identified by Bigot but, I think, incor- 
rectly, owing to discrepancies in the size, the length of the 
abdomen and the marks of the latter. 
Hristalis nitidulus, Wulp. 
Meijere records a 7 from Semarang, July [Jacobson]. 
Eristalis solitus, Walk. 
This species is common in Himalayan localities occurring 
freely at Darjiling during my two last visits (13—18-ix and 
I—II-x-13) and I have taken it as far north-east as Yokohama, 
24-v-06. In the Indian Museum from Shillong, Darjiling, Mus- 
soorie, Naini Tal, Simla and Gangtok. 
Eristalis inscriptus, Dol. 
Meijere records this from Paumomu-Fluss, Papua [Loria], 
noting that it is very near muscoides, Walk.

This species, placed in the sub-genus Evistalomyia and described 
in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (5) x, 230 (1880) from Papua, was omitted 
from Van der Wulp’s Catalogue. Type in the Bigot collection.
