N.B.—Two species are not included in the above table. 
(1) A. inaequalis, sp. nov., in the type specimen of which the 
scutellar bristles are broken off. If four are present it will sepa- 
rate from either, (a), tébialis (should my species have only two 
proclinate frontal bristles, a point I have been unable to decide 
with certainty), also by the black antennae and thorax; or from, 
(b), rustica (should my species have four proclinate bristles), by the 
yellow palpi and other characters. On the other hand, if there are 
only two scutellar bristles it will come near minutissima and rufipes. 
(2) A. flava, Fln., recorded by Brues (as probably introduced) 
from Papua. No specimens are available for comparison and 
Schiner’s description does not mention the scutellar bristles. 
Aphiochaeta ferruginea, mihi. 
Rec. Ind. Mus., vii, 83. 
(Pl. xxxvii, figs. 17-23). 
This species must be very near, perhaps identical with 4. 
circumsetosa, Meij. (Tijd. v. Ent., liv, 348). I fully described my 
species only recently (Rec. Ind. Mus., vii, 83), but if it be synony- 
mous with civcumsetosa Dr. Meijere’s name has priority. Some 
figures of this species are included in the plate accompanying this 
paper ; these were by an oversight omitted when describing the 
species. In a short separate article in the present volume are 
embodied some notes of mine on the life-history of this species. 
Aphiochaeta approximata, mihi, sp. nov. 
Qo, .Calentta. Long. I mm. 
Head.—Blackish grey, frontal impressed median line distinct. 
The bristles are arranged as follows: two upper rows of four in 
each, the middle two in the upper row rather closer together : 
the 3rd row consists of two each side, forming a slightly curved 
line, the two middle ones wide apart. Barely below these middle 
ones are the upper two of a set of four proclinate smaller bristles 
arranged in a square, all the other bristles being declinate. 
Antennae dirty brownish yellow. 
Thorax.—Blackish brown, rather thickly clothed with re- 
clinate bristly hairs, the usual bristles about the wing bases and on 
the hind margin of the dorsum. Sides of thorax and the scutellum 
concolorous, the latter with four bristles on the hind margin. 
Abdomen.—(Somewhat crushed by pin), dirty brown, ap- 
parently bare ; belly lighter. 
Legs.—Pale yellow, hind pair brown, tibial spines strong. 
Wings clear. The 3rd longitudinal vein forks near its tip 
but very distinctly, and shortly after tip of rst longitudinal vein. 
Of the discal veins the 1st ends about half-way between the tip
