Mr. F. W. Edwards’ Notes on British Mycetophilidae. 339 
The following species are among those wrongly identified 
by Walker, and should therefore be struck off the list, as 
they have not since been discovered in this country : 
Walker’s 
Mycetophila paludosa was Zygomyva valida.

TABLE OF RECENT EUROPEAN GENERA OF 
MYCETOPHILIDAE. 
[Genera which have not yet been found in Britain are enclosed 
in brackets. The dubious genera Synapha, Agaromyia, and Piote- 
palpus are omitted. The genera Parastemma, Rulrophora, Telma- 
philus, Brachycampta, and Mycothera have been sunk as they appear 
to me to be insufficiently distinguished from M egophthalmidia (the 
first two), Phronia, Allodia, and M: ycelophila respectively. |
