 Macq. S. a B. ii. 537 ? 



The most abundant species. Fallen has probably con- 

 founded with his E, stagnalis all the species with hyaline dots 

 on the dark ground of the wings ; and though Meigen has 

 very fully distinguished many species of this character, I can 

 scarcely identify any of mine exactly with his descriptions.
