much lightex in color than most S. terminalis. I have seen 

 specimens of S. adusta from Massachusetts, Alabama, Texas, 

 Illinois and numerous intermediate states. 



Drosophila Fall, 1823. Geomyz, 4. 



The following new names are proposed, those now in use being 

 preoccupied (homonjons) . 



Drosophila annularis, nom. nov. for D. annulata Willist. 1896. Trans 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. Not Notiphila annulata Fall. 1813. Vetensk. 

 Akad. Hand.; Drosophila annulata Zett., 1847. Dipt. Scand. VI. 



Drosophila nebulosa, nom. nov. for D. limbata Willist. 1896. Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. Not Drosophila limbata v. Ros. 1840. Wiirtt. 

 Corrbl. The species occurs in Porto Rico, Cuba, Dominican 

 Republic, Barbadoes, Panama. 



Drosophila pulchella, nom. nov. for D. bellula WilHst. 1896. Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. Not Drosophila bellula Bergr. 1894. Ent. 

 Zt. Stett. LV. 



Drosophila willistoni, nom. nov. for D. pallida Willist. 1896. Trans. 

 Ent. Soc. Lond. Not Drosophila palUda Zett. 1847. Dipt. 

 Scand. VI. This species is found in Florida (Miami), Cuba, 

 Jamaica, Hayti, Porto Rico, Bahamas, British Honduras, Costa 

 Rica, Panama and at Manaos, Brazil (?). 



Drosophila multipuncta, Lw. 1866. Berl. Ent. Zt. X. is a synonym of 

 D. guttifera Walk. 1849. List. Dipt. Ins. IV. I have examined the 

 Loew specimen in the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, 

 and a large series of more recent material from Massachusetts, New 

 Jersey, North Carolina, Indiana, Alabama and Texas. 



Drosophila omatipennis, Willist. 1896. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. is a 

 synonym of D. calloptera Schiner. 1868. Novara. I have examined 

 Williston type material in the American Museum of Natural 

 History, and specimens that I collected in Cuba. 



"Drosophila slossonae Coq. " of Johnson. 1913. Bull Am. Mus. Nat. 

 Hist. XXXII. 88, is a manuscript name, and I have been unable 

 to find any specimen bearing this label. 



Drosophila obscura Fall., a common European species, occurs on the 

 Pacific coast. I have examined specimens from Corvallis, Oregon, 

 Claremont and Newport, California. These agree with European 

 material determined by Bezzi and by de Meijere, and with the 

 descriptions given by Schiner and by Oldenberg. The Japanese 

 specimens referred to this species by Coquillett (1899. Proc. U. S. 

 N. M. XXI. 301) are not very well preserved, but I am convinced 

 that they belong to some other species.
