the "List" uuknowu ; the type, however, bears a small 

 label with the word Ficton on it, and so is presumably from 

 either New South Wales or Canada). — Apparently an 

 Exorisia ; the type, which is accompanied by its puparium, 

 is in very poor condition. 



Tachina scotinus {ibid. p. 74'2. — Locality unknown) is 

 apparently a Pseudniiachystylum, Wlk. (Wien. ent. Z. x. 

 (1891) p. 208). — The arista, however, is not geniculate, 

 althou'^h its second joint is elongate ; the face, except next 

 the eyes, is very l)ristly to the level of the bottom of tbe 

 eyes, but its sides are not " fringed with bristles " as stated 

 by Walker. 



Tachina broteas (ibid. p. 7&-^. — England) is a Thryptacera, 

 probably T. pilipennis, Fin. 



Tachina rhneo (ibid. p. 778. — Locality unknown) is a 

 Masicera. 



Tachina cymelus {ibid. p. 790. — Locality unknown) is a 

 Blepharipoda, Br. it von Berg. 



Phorocera expeUens (Journ. Pi'oc. Linn. Soc. v. (1860) 

 p. 155. — Amboyna) is an E.rorista. 



Nemorcfa tenebrosa {ibid. iv. (18fiO) p. 123. — Macassar, 

 Celebes) belongs to the " Section '' Blepharipoda, Br. & 

 von Berg., and is apparently allied to the genus Cteno- 

 phorocera, Br. & von Berg. (Denkschr. math.-naturw. CI. 

 k. Akad. Wiss., Bd. Iviii. (1891) p. 342), so far as can be 

 judged from the description of the latter. In the type 

 (a male, not a female as stated by Walker), and in another 

 male from Macassar (JVallace), the tirst and second aljdo- 

 uiinal segments are totally devoid of macrochictse in the 

 middle line ; a female from the same locality, however, has 

 a pair of marginal macrochretae on the second segment. The 

 hind tibire, not the hind femora as stated by Walker, are 

 strongly ciliated. The second joint of the antennse is 

 somewhat elongated, and the ciliation of the facial ridges, 

 consisting of fne bristles, extends to the level of the base of 

 the third joint. 



Nemorcea postulans [ibid. v. (1861) p. 240. — Dorev, New 

 Guinea) is an Exorista. The abdomen is narrow, and tlie 

 wings are narrow and elongate.
