﻿NOTES ON DIPTERA. 123 



Leria ruficauda, Zett. Eeading ; taken by E. Brunetti. 

 Heteromyza atricornis, Mg. Aberdeen ; taken by E. Terras. 

 Sapromyzaplatycephala,hoew. London; taken by E. Brunetti. 



Cecidomyidce. 

 Cecidomyia destructor, Say. One specimen sent me from 

 Alford (Lincolnshire) by Mr. Mason ; bred by him from puparia 

 collected in that locality during the autumn of 1888. Owing to 

 mould, I believe only one specimen emerged, but this is, to the 

 best of my belief, C. destructor, the "Hessian Fly." 



Mycetophilides. 

 This is a group I have not worked at, so I have been unable to 

 identify the few examples that have passed through my hands. 



Bibionidce. 

 About eight common species have been sent me, none calling 

 for any special remark. 



Psychodidce. 

 Psychoda sexpunctata, Curt. From London in June and July ; 

 also the common P. phalcenoides. 



Tipulidce. 



Dicranomyia dumetorum, Mg. London, early in May ; abun- 

 dant for two or three days, since which time occasional specimens 

 have appeared. I have two other species of this genus, one 

 from London, the other from Staines. 



Erioptera jiavescens, Mg. Hastings, Aug. 28th. 



Stratiomyidce. 

 Chrysonotus bipunctatus, Scop. One specimen of this rather 

 rare species was taken by Mr. Tumaley near Birmingham. 

 Bens morrisii, Dale. Dover. 



Xylophagidce. 

 Xylophagus ater, F. One specimen of this rare species was 

 sent me by Major Yedbury, taken at Plymbridge, May 16th. 



Tabanidce. 

 Several common Tabanidse and Leptidse have been sent me.
