THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 1038 
Notes on some Amurland European Diptera. 
By Francis WALKER, Esq. 
MYcETOPHILIDA. 
THERE are probably many undescribed European species 
of this family, notwithstanding the extent of Winnertz’s 
monograph: very few have been recorded from South Europe. 
Div. 1. Micetophilint. Subfam. Macrocerine. 
Genus Macrocera.—M. vittata occurs near Rome. 
Subfam. Ceratopline. 
Genus Platyura.—P. nemoralis and P. discoloria were 
observed near Rome, P. basalis at Florence, and there appear 
to be two undescribed British species, one found in North 
Wales, the other in the Isle of Man. The large British 
species, P. vitripennis, is not recorded by Winnertz; it 
mimics P. atrata, which belongs to another division of the 
genus. 
Subfam. Sciophiline. 
Genus Sciophila.—Two species not recorded by Winnertz : 
one found in the Isle of man, the other at Florence. 
Genus Polylepta.—One undescribed species found in 
North Wales. 
Subfam. Mycetophiline. 
Genus Syntemma.—One new species found in North 
Wales. 
Genus 7richonta.—One new species in the Scilly Isles. 
Genus Allodia.—One new species in North Wales. 
Genus Phronia.—One new British species, and one found 
in Switzerland. S. nitidiventris occurs in the Scilly Isles. 
Genus Ewechia.—One new species in North Wales, 
another found near Pisa. 
Genus Sceptonia.—S. nigra inhabits Amurland. 
Genus Mycetophila.—M. punctata and M. gibba in Amur- 
land. 
; Div. 2. Sciarine. 
Genus Sciara.—S. Thome occurs near Rome and in 
Amurland, where there are some other species which are not 
sufficiently well preserved to be recorded. Two apparently
