section of this subfamil3^ Its position near Gonomyia seems 

 hardly questionable. 



N.B. — I had anticipated the pleasure of introducing this 

 peculiar genus to the Oriental Region, but have been forestalled 

 by the publication of Meijere's lucida} 



GONOMYIA, Mg. 



Of this genus Dr. Meijere introduces * two species from Java, 

 metatarsata and nubeculosa. I have descriptions of several addi- 

 tional species from India, showing some important variations of 

 venation, which prove Osten Sacken's remarks on the variability of 

 this character in Gonomyia. 



EMPEDA, Os. Sac. 



gracilis, Meij. Tijd. v. Ent., liv, 49 (1911), pi. iv, 37, wing. 

 The author states no sex. An additional species from i)arjiling 

 will be described by me later. 



GNOPHOMYIA, Os. Sac. 



Two Javan species are described by Meijere {loc. cit.), orientalis, 

 a' 9 , and ornatipennis. The Indian Museum possesses about half 

 a dozen undescribed species. 



SYMPLECTA, Mg. 



punctipennis, Meig., & $ . This common European species 

 is to be found rather freely at Darjihng, the Indian Museum 

 possessing a good series, identified by me. 



ERIOPTERA, Mg. 



Dr. Meijere introduces two species from Java,^ javanensis , 

 c* , and notata, whilst I have descriptions of twelve others from 

 different parts of the Indian Empire. 



MOLOPHILUS, Curt. 



One species from Java, bicolor, $ , described by Meij ere (/oc. cit., 

 45), the Indian Museum possessing two additional undescribed 

 species. 



1 Since writing the above I have obtained a copy of Skuse's works and the 

 species proves to be correctly placed in Lcchria.
