Family CHIRONOMIDAE.! 
In the Chironomidae, a family with which I am but poorly 
acquainted, it has been my endeavour to steer an intermediate 
course between the broader view as instanced by Dr. Kertesz (Cata- 
logue, 1902), and the narrower one followed by Dr. Kieffer. The 
former sinks in Ceratopogon many groups (Culicoides, Palpomyia, 
Sphaeromytas, etc.), that are regarded by the latter as generic, some 
of which have yet again been subdivided into further genera. The 
exact amount of pubescence on the wing, the degree of incrassation 
of the femora, also the presence thereon or absence of small spines 
or spinules, are all characters liable to vary much in degree, so that 
drawing a hard and fast generic line between the groups becomes 
increasingly difficult as a greater number of species are discovered. 
In admitting Sphaeromyias, Serromyia, Heteromyia and Bezzia 
to generic rank I follow Coquillett (1910), but though that author 
admits Culicoides as generically distinct from Ceratopogon, I have 
been unable to sufficiently differentiate them to do more than list 
the species of the different groups herein regarded as subgeneric, 
according to the views of their authors. 
Professor Kieffer, in describing many of his new species, has 


1 A number of Indian Museum f¢ypes in this family are still with Prof. Kieffer, 
but communication with Germany being interrupted by the present war, these 
types are entered in this catalogue as ‘‘ belonging to the Indian Museum.”
