 far the moft extenfive of any genus (except Lepidoptera) we have at 

 prefent any knowledge of, Fabricius enumerates in his laft * Work 

 no lefs than 202 Species, under the generic t\\\cMufca ; independent 

 of thefe we find 122, under the head Syrphus ; 22 under RhagiOy and 

 25 under Stratlomysy all of which (with fome exceptions) would make 

 by Linnasan arrangement 349 fpecies ; not to notice the Infe£l:s of 

 the fame tribe included under his generic appellations, anthrax^ 

 bib'tOy nemotelus, &c.
