360 Mr. F. W. Edwards’ Notes on British Mycetophilidae. 
3 2. Head blackish; ocelli almost in a straight line; palpi and 
scape of antennae yellow; flagellum of antennae dark brown; 
antennae about as long as thorax in female, a little longer in the 
male. Thorax black, mesonotum rather shining, black-haired. 
Abdomen dark brown, first segment with apical, second to fourth 
segments with basal lateral yellowish spots; genitalia brownish- 
black. Coxae and femora yellow, hind femora with a short black 
stripe at the base beneath, and rather broadly black at the apex. 
Tibiae brown, spurs yellow-brown; tarsi dark fuscous. Wings 
hyaline, venation as in #. vilripennis, but the small cell is absent. 
Halteres yellow. Length 3°5 mm. (without antennae). Wing, 
fig. 61; ¢ hypopygium, figs, 58-60. 
Type 3, and two females from Lyndhurst, New Forest 
(F.J.); two males from Lochinyer, Sutherland (J.W.Y.); 
a male from Lyndhurst and another from Stokenchurch 
(G.H.V.). Type in the British Museum. 
The absence of the small cell on both wings of all the 
five specimens would seem to place this species in Boletina, 
but the general appearance, the structure of the male 
hypopygium and the slightly different venation (the forks 
of the fourth and fifth veins have longer stalks than in 
Boletina, and the anal vein is not nearly so well marked), 
all tend to show that the real relationships of the species 
are with Hmpalia. 
APOLIPHTHISA, Grzeg. 
A. subincana, Curt. Logie (F.J.); Nethy Bridge 
(C.G.L.); Spey Bridge, Inverness, and Sheviock, Cornwall 
(J.W.Y.); New Forest (D.S., F.J.). Haliday’s description 
of Tetragoneura melanoceros applies in every detail to the 
imsect which Mr. Jenkinson has named (no doubt correctly) 
A. subincana, Curt., and it is reasonably certain that the 
names are synonymous. A. rara, Grz., the type of the 
genus, is also, I consider, the same species, although 
Grzegorzek does not mention the shghtly expanded front 
tarsi of the female. This feature is by no means con- 
spicuous and may well have been overlooked. 
* HCTREPESTHONEURA, Enderl. 
Enderlein (Stettin. Ent. Zeit. 1911, p. 155) introduces 
this genus for Tetragoneura hirta, owing to the marked 
difference in neuration between that species and 7’. sylvatica.
