A SECOND HUNDRED NEW BRITISH SPECIES OF BIPTEEA. 



BY G. H. VEERALL, F.E.S. 



{Concluded from page 79). 



36. Geratopogon candidatus, Winn. : 1 can say, in direct opposition 

 to the general opinion, that there are very few large genera in which 

 species can be so readily and confidently identified as in this genus. 

 I could now confirm as British most of the species in my " List," but 

 no harm can be done by my waiting until I have had still more ex- 

 amination, but in the mean time I may record G. candidatus as not 

 uncommon in Wicken Fen on May 13th, 1892. 



37. G. unimaculatus, Mcq. (= G. varieqatus, Winn.) : a most re- 

 markably distinct species, of which I caught one female at Ormesby 

 on June 2Sth, 1888. 



38. G. ruhiginosus, Winn. : a female at Three Bridges on August 

 2nd, 1888. 



39. G. bicolor, Mg. : not uncommon at Ormesby on June 25th, 



1888. 



40. G. alhipes, Winn. : Lewes, June 7th, 1888 (1(^), and August 

 5th (1 ?). 



41. G. solsiitialis, Winn. : from June to December at Slapton 

 Lea, Three Bridges, Ormesby and Dolgelley. 



42. Goniomyia schistacea, Schum. : sitting on large leaves near 

 water in Millersdale, on June 18th, 1888, also at Ulleswater on June 

 26th, 1889. 



43. RhampTiomyia Jllata, Ztt. : one male of this remarkable species 

 at Keswick on June 20th, 1889. 



44. B. costata, Ztt. : abundant at Bettws-y-Coed in the middle of 

 June, 1887 ; also occurred at Colwich in June, 1889, Ivybridge in 

 May, 1890, and at Three Bridges in June, 1892. 



45. jB. gihha, Fin. : a very distinct species, which has occurred 

 near Three Bridges in August, 1889, at AVoking on August 1st, 1875, 

 and at Wyre Forest on September 4th, 1892. 



46. R. sciarina, Fin. : one male at Coniston on July 19th, 1876. 



47. Empis prodromus, Lw. : one male and three females at Bran- 

 don on July 9th, 1877. 



48. -E". brevicornis, Lw. : a male near Barton Mills on September 

 8th, 1879, and three females, which are probably the same species, 

 taken since in the same neighbourhood.
