Pomona College Journal of Entomology 



a paper on the Dasypogonina? since the work of Back, and has made several 

 new genera. All of the American species are put in the new genus Neopogon. 

 (His paper is in the Annales of the Hungarian National Museum). Aldrich 

 believes that both Back and Williston were wrong in identifying trifasciatus 

 from Southern California. 



The other mistake was due to Aldrich. The .small tiy determined by him 

 as AUotrichoma n. sp. (Figure 265) and published in the Laguna Report as 

 AUotrichoma UttoraJix is Atissa pijgmaca Ilaliday. Aldrich somehow traced 

 it wrong in Becker's and kindly rectified the mistake. The specimen was de- 

 termined liy Becker, who is the author of the current monograph of the 

 European species. This is an European species described many years ago.

Lipochaeta slossomae, which was figured in the Laguna Report, was dis- 

 covered first on the Florida Coast, then on the west side of the Gulf of 

 Mexico, tlien on the California coast. It is, according to Aldrich, a southern 

 species, and is found in large numbers at some of the Southern California 

 beaches. It was cpiite rare at Laguna. It differs greatly from most 

 ephyrids. Williston thought it an ascinid at first. 



There was another slight mistake in the last Laguna Report. The 

 Scatopse was named caJiforniana in the figure anrf californica in the text. It 

 should be californica. 



There are a number of flies that were collected and not reported on last 

 year. Tlie collection has not been fully classified as yet, but considerable 

 additions can be made to last year's list, thanks to the determinations made 

 by Aldrich.
