“ Toxoneura Macq. differs from Palloptera by the sinuate pre-brachial nerve. 
It is founded on Musca pulchella of Rossi. The Ortalis (or Otites) pulchella of later 
authors is a different species. 
««Tt is not so easy to show any strong character of separation between Palloptera 
and Lonchea. ( 
Palloptera. Loncheea. 
Colour yellow or cinereous. Black. 
Wings spotted. Wings immaculate.” 
Haliday MSS. 
+ “ Lauxania should probably comprise only the species which have the first joint 
longer than second of antenne (L. ecylindricornis) ; the others come too near to 
Sapromyza, and consequently the Minettie of R. D. are placed partly in the former, 
partly in the latter genus by Meigen.
