272 Mr. W. F. Kirby's notes on the 



Tipula viridis, Walk. 



Tipula viridis, Walk., Ins. Saund., Dipt., p. 445 (1856). 



? Tipula holochlora, Now. 



I am indebted to Baron Osten-Sacken for this sug- 

 gestion. Judging from the diagnosis (which is all that 

 Hutton quotes, though Nowicki's description is lengthy) 

 I had at first regarded T. holochlora as probably identical 

 with T. obscuripennis. 



Limnohia vicarians, Schin. 

 Limnohia chorica, White MS. 



Limnohia fnmipennis, White & Butl. 



Limnohia fumipennis, White & Butl., Cist. Ent., i., 

 p. 355 (1875). 



Tanyderus forcipatus, st . - Sack . 



Tanyderus forcipatus, Ost.-Sack., Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. 

 Wien. xxix., p. 520, figs. (1879). 



Dilophus nigrostigma. 



Bihio nigrostigma, Walk., List Dipt. B. M., i., p. 121 



(1848). 



I am indebted to Baron Osten-Sacken for suggesting 

 that this species is a Dilophus, as, on examination, I 

 have found to be the case. But I cannot agree with his 

 proposed identification of D. nigrostigma with D. specta- 

 hilis, Now., as the former species has a shining black 

 pronotum in the male, and a uniformly red pronotum in 

 the female. 



Dilophus Zealandicus, Walk. 



Bihio Zealandicus, Walk., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., (2), 



iv.,p. 235 (1858). 

 Dilophus spcctahilis. Now. 



This identification is certain, but Baron Osten-Sacken 

 was led to question it, because Walker's description is 

 incomplete, the thorax being varied with black and 

 dull red.
