N. iole. 



This is fairly common. Contrary to a description of the 

 habits, which I read somewhere recently, stating that this spe- 

 cies is found only in moist places, I found it only along the 

 dry sandy spaces and on the hillsides about Goldroad and also 

 on the dry plain about Ash Fork further east. 



Except for notes on dates and captures, the other species 

 mentioned in my list show nothing of particular interest. If 

 one could spend an entire season in this interesting country, 

 many more interesting features could doubtless be recorded 

 and valuable studies worked out in detail. 



Notes on North American Agromyzidac (Dipt.). 



By J. R- Malloch, Urbana, Illinois. 



Since the completion of my paper on the species of the genus 

 Agromysa* I have had the opportunity of examining the ma- 

 terial in the collection of the Illinois State Laboratory of Nat- 

 ural History, and have also seen two species, kindly submitted 

 by Dr. E. P. Felt, which make necessary the present supple- 

 mentary paper on the group. I have indicated the changes 

 necessary in the synoptic table to permit of the inclusion of 

 the new species. 



It may be of interest to mention that Agromyza melampyga 

 Loew occurs in Britain. I captured a specimen of this species 

 at Dunoon, Scotland, in July, 191 2, while on a visit there. I 

 cannot say whether the species has any European name or 

 not, dS the knowledge of this family in Europe is very unsatis- 

 factory, and meanwhile leave our species as melampyga. 



I have received several letters from correspondents request- 

 ing information as to what I have done with Agromysa aenei- 

 ventris Fallen in my paper. I take this opportunity of stating 

 that I have not seen any American specimens which agree wath 

 the species considered by European authors as the true aenei- 

 ventris, so have dropped the name entirely. I have found so 

 much confusion amongst the species I have examined, from
