“ Syrphus guttatus, Fall. One female taken in my garden, 
June 22nd. Originally recorded by Mr. Coryndon Matthews 
from South Devon in 1898. Mr. R. C. Bradley recorded two 
females last year as well as three SN. flavifrons, Verr., which 
he believes will prove to be the male of this species. 
‘“Callicera anea, Fabr. Taken on water-mint at Butts Lawn, 
near Brockenhurst, on August 13th. 
‘‘Mr. Verrall mentions four specimens recorded up to 
January, 1889; since then one has been taken also at Lynd- 
hurst. This brings the record up to six, of which three have 
been taken in the County of Hampshire. Nothing I believe 
is known of the larva, but from the circumstance under which 
I took the fly, I think it may prove to be aquatic. 
‘* Physocephala nigra, De G. Judging from old collections, 
this fine Conops seems to have been more plentiful in bygone 
years, but only a few captures have been recorded of late. 
My specimen was taken in Rhinefield Enclosure on the 
29th May. 
“« Stevenia maculata, Fall. This is the Flesina maculata, Fall., 
of Verrall’s List, and seems to be very spasmodic in its 
appearance, single specimens being the general rule. 
“‘ Acanthiptera inanis, Fall. This does not appear in Mr, 
Verrall’s List unless under the name of Sphecolyma inanis, 
Fall., one of the Dexide. The venation however is distinctly 
that of the Anthomylide, and Dr. Meade places it just before 
Pegomyia. It has been bred from wasps’ nests, which seem 
a very strange habitat for so frail an insect to select, con- 
sidering how fond wasps are of preying upon Diptera, espe- 
cially those belonging to the family Muscide. 
‘“« Hydromyza livens, Fabr. Several taken 29th July at 
3rockenhurst Bridge, running on leaves of Nuphar lutea. 
This insect was quite common, but difficult to capture, and I 
should not have exhibited it as rare but for the fact that Mr. 
Verrall, in his list, considers it as doubtfully British. It 
stands in the old collection at the British Museum, and was 
figured and described by Curtis as Cordylura livens, Fabr.” 
Mr. M. Burr showed an example of Locust (Acrydium 
agyptium, L.) taken in the Post Office at Bedford Street, 
Strand, and six new species of Acrydiide belonging to the
