Gmelin coafiders it as the fame infect but Fabricius defcribes it as a 

 dift"ui6t fpecies, diftinguilhing the M. Subcoleoptrata by the black

 the M. Hemiptera (our prefent fpecies) by the thorax being fur- 

 rounded by a ferruginous border, and the cinereous wings varied with 

 yellowifli. — Fabricius has fince constituted a new genus of Dipterous 

 infefts, under the name of Thereva, in which both thefe fpecies of 

 Muicae are included*.
