341") '^'J the Synonymy tOc. of certain Musclila\ 



tvpc of wliiili was stated to be from Upsala, Sweden. Tlic 

 ]>rcscnt writer is unable to assign this speeies to its proper 

 penus, but it ])erhaiis belonjis to the " Section " Masicera, 

 Br. S: von Berg. The front is prominent and the face 

 liairv ; depth of jowls rather greater than half the height of 

 the eye ; first posterior cell opens at or close to tip of wing. 



Gi/nnwstylia invito (Journ. Proc. Linn. Soc. v. (1861) 

 p. 24x5. — Dorey, New Guinea) = De.ria ahdifera, Walk. 

 {ihid. p. 157 ; described from Andioyna). — Genus uncertain, 

 probably new (''Section" Pseudodexia, "Sub-Section" 

 Ihelaira, Br. & von Berg.). 



Gi/ninosttj/ia /uleicornis (ihid. vi. (1862) p. 10. — Gilolo, 

 E. Indian Archipelago) belongs to an apparently new genus 

 near T/ielaira, Kob.-Dcsv. — Eyes large, occupying whole 

 depth of head, so that jowls are reduced to a mere line ; 

 antennne below level of middle of eyes ; abdominal macro- 

 chsetae discal and marginal ; first and third veins bristly. 



Trichoprosopa? marginalis {ihid. v. (1860) p. 157. — 

 Amboyna). — A new genus will have to be founded for this 

 species close to Ocyptera, Latr., from which it is distin- 

 guished by the dorso-central bristles being greatly reduced, 

 as well as by the depth of the head, narrowness of the face, 

 and length of the third joint of the antennae. 



Trichoprosopa? divisa (ihid. vii. (1864) p. 213. — Mysol) 

 appears to be a Plesiocyptera, Br. & von Berg., although 

 differing from P. (Ocyptera) hico/or, Wied. (the type of the 

 genus), in the face being narrow and the proboscis not 

 slender. In the ty])ical specimen, at any rate, the second 

 and third abdominal segments are devoid of admcdian 

 marginal macrochaetse. 



Tachina titan (List Dipt. Ins. Brit. Mus.iv. (1849) p. 735. 

 — Sylhet j is a Nemora'a, Kond., near, but apparently distinct 

 from, N. tropidohothra, Br. & von Berg. Van dcr "VVulp 

 (Cat. Descr. Dipt. S. Asia, p. 126) assigns this species to the 

 genus Micropalpus, doubtless misled by Walker having 

 headed the page on which the description appears "Group II. 

 Linncer/iyia, Desv. Essai Alyod. 52." 



Ml/sea aluta {Had. p. 911. — " Lajjland ?, France?"). — 

 The type is a female of Myiospila nieditahunda, Fabr. 



Tachina zehina {ihid. p. 772. — North Bengal) is a Ble- 

 pharipoda, Br. & von Berg. (i.e. Sturmia, Hob. -Desv., apud 

 Coquillett&Aldrich), and perhaps a svnonym of B. {Tachina) 

 ciliyes, Macq. (Dipt. Exot. ii. 3 (1843), p. 62, tab. 6. fig. 6). 

 The following Walkerian species are synonyms of B. zehina: —
