Mr. Brunetti includes Slomoxys plurinotata, Bigot, Sto- 

 moxys dacnusa, Speis., and Stomoxys bengalensis in liis table, 

 but I have omitted them. He gives as the differences 

 between >SV. plurinotata, Bigot, and St. calcitrans, Linne, the 

 following: — "Thorax with 4 oblong large spots, each more 

 or less divided. Width of frons (presumably) neither;^ nor ^ 

 as sex is doubtful/^ Bigot, in his description of the species, 

 said that sometimes tiiese four spots appeared as four longi- 

 tudinal stripes. In these cases, there being no measurements 

 given, it could not definitely be said to differ from St. calci- 

 trans, so it is probably safer to leave it out of the table. 

 Slomoxys dacnusa Speis., requires, I think, a fuller descrip- 

 tion before it can be placed in a table. This species was 

 founded on a damaged female specimen, St. bengalensis,
