" E. splendens is the most striking 

 species. It is a stove evergreen shrub. 

 It should be repotted early in spring, 

 or even in the winter, if the pot is full 

 of roots. Although it does not require 

 so much water in winter, yet you must 

 not keep it then quite dry, for it is al- 

 ways growing." — Card. Chron.

 and there are two spiny processes like 

 short horns upon the thorax, in the fe- 

 male at least. It is densely clothed 

 with short hairs, thickly and distinctly

 entirely black, the seta naked : the face 

 is very hairy, simply convex and silvery 

 white; eyes dark brown and slightly 

 pubescent; rostrum very short ; thorax 

 with two whitish lines down the back. 

 The maggots of this fly do not seem to 

 be confined to the onion, for I bred one 

 in the middle of May from cabbage 

 roots, and specimens have been taken 

 flying about hedges in June and July, 

 in the Deighbourhood of London and
