Spots and small clouds along the veins very numerous, 
imparting to the wings a brownish and very checkered 
appearance; inner ends of the 24 and 34 post. cells 
nearly equally proximal . . . . quadrifurca WK.

Mr. v. d. Wulp, Dipt. Neerl. I, p. 338, calls this section An- 
tochina and Mr. Verrall, Ent. M. Mag. XXIU, p. 117 Rhamphi- 
diinae. I retain the name which I originally gave to this group, 
because it defines its artificial character. Antochina and Rhamphi- 
diina means relatives of Antocha and Pthamphidia which the ma- 
jority of the genera of this section by no means are.

The larva of R. longirostris has been found by Mr. Gercke in 
the stems of Rumex aquaticus; he believes that it lives under 
water (Verh. d. Ver. f. naturw. Unterhaltung in Hamburg, Bd. VI, 
1880). Mr. Verrall (Ent. M. Mag. 1837, Vol. 23, p. 205) thinks 
that the european Rhamphidiae, published under three names, repre- 
sent the same species. I have shown (Monogr. etc. IV, p. 104) that 
the N. American species is very variable in its coloring,
