STUDIES IN PHILIPPINE DIPTERA, II 



By M. BEZZI 

 (Turin, Italy) 



Since the publication of the first paper of this series l I have 

 received from Professor Baker very rich material, which enables 

 me to continue these studies and to add some very important 

 novelties to the already interesting oriental fly fauna. A second 

 ' 'century" is here offered, which will be quickly followed by 

 others. 



In the meantime some new species of Diptera have been de- 

 scribed from the Islands, which are enumerated here with the 

 object of completing the catalogue appended to the first century.
