Generic Position of certain Mii-cid;p. 341 



Masicera manifesta {ibid. v. (1870) p. 151. — Amboyna) is 

 an Exorista, 



Phorocera convertens {ibid. v. (1861) p. 240. — Dorey, New 

 Guinea) is apparently the ? of Masicera notabilis, Walk. 

 {ibid. iii. p. 97), described from the Aru Is. This species 

 may be left provisionally in the genus Masicera, although 

 from its general fades, and especially its elongate shape, it 

 can scarcely i)e congeneric with Masicera sylvatica. Fin., the 

 type of the genus. 



Masicera prominens {ibid. v. (18G0) p. 155. — Amboyna) 

 may be allowed to remain, at least for the present, in the 

 genus Masicera. 



Masicera {?) tentata {ibid. iii. (1859) p. 98.— \ru Is.) 

 apparently belongs to a new genus of the*' Section ^^ Pseudo- 

 de.cia, " Sub-Section '' Thelaira, Br. & von Berg., allied to 

 TItelaira, Rob.-Desv. The arista is pubescent on its basal 

 half; the third vein haa a few bristles at the base, the other 

 veins are bare. 



Masicera solemnis {ibid. p. 98. — Aru Is.) is a Blepharipoda, 

 Br. & von Berg., closely allied to and perhaps identical with 

 B. {Tachiiia) ophirica, Walk. 



Masicera simplex {ibid. p. 99. — Aru Is.) may be allowed 

 to remain for the present in the genus Masicera. 



Masicera ? ficta {ibid. v. (1861) p. 286. — Batchian, 

 Molucca Is.) : head of type now missing ; true genus 

 uncertain. 



Eurygaster conglomerata {ibid. iv. (1860) p. 126. — Ma- 

 cassar, Celebes) is a Sisyropa, Br. & von Berg. 



Eurygaster prominens {ibid. p. 127. — Macassar, Celebes) 

 is a Sisyropa, Br. & von Berg. The palpi are yellow, not 

 black as stated by Walker. 



Eurygaster interdicta {ibid. vii. (1864) p. 213. — Mysol). — 

 The type is in poor condition. Genus uncertain : perhaps 

 new, and belonging to the " Section" Erigone, Br. & von 

 Berg. The oral margin descends considerably below the 

 \ibrissic; above the few small bristles next to the vibriss«i 

 the facial ridges are ciliated with fine hairs nearh^ to the 

 level of the arista ; eyes liairy, not bare as stated by 

 Walker; palpi short and slender: antenna? short ; al)doniinal 

 macrochcetse discal and marginal ; no appendix to bend of 

 fourth vein.
