Notes on some Amurland Europeati Vlptera. 

 By Francis Walker, Esq. 



MYCETOrHILIDyE. 



There are probably many undescribed European species 

 of this family, notwithstanding the extent of Winnertz's 

 monograph : very few have been recorded from South Europe. 



Div. 1. Micetophilini. Subfara. Macrocerince. 

 Genus Macrocera. — M. vittata occurs near Rome. 



Subfam. Ceratoplin<s. 



Genus Platyura. — P. nemoralis and P. discoloria were 

 observed near Rome, P. basalis at Florence, and there appear 

 to be two undescribed British species, one found in North 

 Wales, the other in the Isle of Man. The large British 

 species, P. vitripennis, is not recorded by Winnertz ; it 

 mimics P. atrata, which belongs to another division of the 

 genus. 



Subfara. Sciophilin(B. 



Genus Sciophila. — Two species not recorded by Winnerlz : 

 one found in the Isle of man, the other at Florence. 



Genus Polylepta, — One undescribed species found in 

 North Wales. 



Subfam. MycetopJiilina. 



Genus Syntemma. — One new species found in North 

 Wales. 



Genus Trichoma. — One new species in the Scilly Isles. 



Genus Allodia. — One new species in North Wales. 



Genus Phronia. — One new British species, and one found 

 in Switzerland. S. nitidiventiis occurs in the Scilly Isles. 



Genus Exechia. — One new species in North Wales, 

 another found near Pisa. 



Genus Sceptoitia. — S. nigra inhabits Amurland. 



Genus Mycetophila. — M. punctata and M. gibba in Amur- 

 land. 



Div. 2. Sciarince. 



Genus Sciara. — S. Thomne occurs near Rome and in 

 Amurland, where there are some other species which are not 

 sufficiently well preserved to be recorded. Two apparently
