1915.] E. BRuneEtTI1: Notes on Oriental Syrphidae. 227 
From the context it is to be gathered that the type o and 
? are in the Hungarian National Museum and a further specimen 
in the Leyden Museum. 
In doc. cit., liv (1911), the same author describes the following :— 
nigroscutatus, p. 337, «7, Tandjong Priok and Batavia 
environs [ Jacobson]. 
ferrugineus, p. 330, ~ @, Batavia environs [Jacobson], a 
unique pair. 
neptunus, p. 340, %, a unique specimen, Batavia environs 
[Jacobson]. : 
lucilia, p. 341, @, a unique specimen, Semarang | Jacobson]. 
tristriatus, p. 342, 7, Semarang, Batavia [Jacobson]. 
The types of these species are in the Amsterdam Museum. 
MEGASPIS, Macq. 
Meijere records M. chrysopygus, W., ervans, V., zonalis, F.,and 
cvassus, F., all from Java and relegates my ¢vansveysus to a 
synonym of argyrocephalus, Macq (Eristalis). He adds a table 
to five species, including sculplatus, Wulp. I have seen M. 
cvassus and zonalis recently from Darjiling—and an errans 
from Cochin State, 1700-3200 ft., 16—2 4-ix-14 [Gravely]. 
Mr. Austen writes me that Megaspis is antedated by Phyto- 
myia, Guer. (1833), in Belanger’s Voyage aux Indes orientales, 
509, with chrysopygus, Wied., as type, but I do not like to change 
the name after it has stood so long. 
HELOPHILUS, Me. 
Meijere gives a table embracing eight species, including the 
following new ones, in Tijd. v. Ent. li (i908) :— 
niveiceps, Pp: 230; a, pl: -vil, 16, Java. [Prepers|. 
Type in Amsterdam Museum. 
fulvus, p. 237, ”, Moroka, Papua, 1300 metres [Loria]. 
Type in Genoa Museum. 
scutatus, p. 238, 7 , Paumomu Fluss, Papua [Loria]. 
Type in Genoa Museum. 
Dr. Meijere redescribes H. qguadrivittatus, Wied., 7 2, and 
records it from Semarang; also adding notes on curvigaster, Macq., 
and vestitus, W. (recording it from Sumatra). 
AXONA, Walk. 
To this interesting genus I have been able to add a second 
species, cyanea (Rec Ind. Mus., ix, 272 (~) and 277 2, pl. xiv. fig. 
3, full insect, 1913), from Darjiling, iv-19g13, sent to the Indian 
Museum by Lord Carmichael. Only one species, chalcopygus, W., 
was previously known.
