LIST OF THE BRITISH STRATIOMYID^, WITH 



ANALYTICAL TABLES AND NOTES. 



By E. Brunetti. 



Since the publication of Walker's work on British Diptera 

 in the ' Insecta Britannica,' many important changes have been 

 made in the classification and nomenclature of this order, and his 

 wo/k requires a large number of corrections and additions. 

 A new work on the whole of the British Diptera is much to be 

 desired, and Mr. Verrall's recently published list, which comes 

 almost as a revelation, will form a splendid basis for operations. 



A comparison between Walker's list of Stratiomyidse and the 

 species recognised in this paper as truly British, will show at a 

 glance in what an unsatisfactory state are most of the hitherto 

 published works on our indigenous species of this order.
