The genus Eriocera * has long been familiar to students of 

 Nematocerous Diptera, many representatives having been met 

 with and described by the early workers on the order — 

 Wiedemann, Macqnart, and Walker ; these were discussed 

 and their number added to by Osteu- Sacken ; more recently

 Gu(5rin, should be used for this genus, since it was published with a 

 recognizable tigure (though without verbal description) eight years
