Halteres black. Venation as in JT. fenestrata, O.-S.  An- 
teune scarcely as long as the thorax, most of the flagellar 
joints globular, gradually decreasing in size towards the apex 
of the antenne, last three or four joints more elongate.

Thave recently (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., May 1916, p. 359) 
suggested that this species be transferred from Gnophomyta 
to Gymnastes. In the paper referred to I mentioned a 
specimen from Japan which is in the British Museum collec- 
tion. This specimen was taken at Idzu, vi. 1910 (S. Aki- 
yama); it differs from typical ornatipennis in having the 
basal wing-fascia broader and extending from the costa to the 
hind margin ; the first mid-tarsal joint is yellowish with a 
black tip, instead of all black, and the basal two-thirds (not 
half only) of the first hind tarsal joint is yellow. 
Dasymallomyia signata, Brun. 
Horisha, 10. v. 1913 (4. Maki), 1 ¢. 
idee ivineed that Alexaniler is justified in sinking 
this genus under Gnophomyia ; it seems to me it might with 
almost equal reason be included in Teucholabis. The name 
had, therefore, better be allowed to stand at least until the 
Oriental species are better known. Brunetti did not describe 
the antenne. In this specimen the flagellar joints are rather 
shortly oval, two or tnree at the base round; they are pro- 
vided with a verticil of long hairs, nearly three times as long 
as the joint, just before the middle ; the base is yellowish, 
the remainder dark. 
Antocha sp. 
Horisha, 10. v. 1913 (AZ. Maki), 1 2. 
Very much like the European species, and may, perhaps, 
be the same, but the thorax is without any trace of darker 
stripes, and the scutellum is grey instead of ochreous. Since 
it is still uncertain whether the Huropean species is or is not 
the same as the North-American A. opalizans, I retrain from 
naming this specimen.
