65. H. holeiicola, End. : one male of this little known but per- 

 fectly distinct species in Arran on June 15th, 1882. 



66. Spilogaster protuherans, Ztt. : for the last dozen years I have 

 known a species which is very common in the summer wherever there 

 are sandhills near the coast, and which I can only refer to this species. 

 It was abundant at such widely distant localities as Barmouth, Tar- 

 mouth, and Aberdeen. 



67. Hydrotcea dentimana, Mg. : a beautiful male in my garden on 

 May 29th, 1886. 



68. Hylemyia penicillaris, End. : this may be readily distinguished 

 from H. criniventris, Ztt. (= tihiaria,'RudL.),\)j its black legs, besides 

 other important distinctions. I have a male caught at St. Bees on 

 July 18th, 1876, and another caught at Barmouth on July 20th, 1888. 

 A monograph of the European species of Somalomyia has been com- 

 pleted by Stein, and will appear very soon ; several new species from 

 Britain will be included in it. 



69. Lispe crassiuscula, Lw. : one male at Sutton Wash on July 

 13th, 1881, and a female at Aberlady on June 23rd, 1884. 



70. L. uliginosa, Fin. : I possess an old obviously " British 

 pinned " male, and the species ought to occur with us. 



71. L. pulcliella, Lw. : a specimen given me for examination in 

 September, 1889, by Mr. C. W. Dale as L. riparia, is, I believe, this 

 species, and I also possess an old female from the late Wilson Saunders' 

 British collection. 



72. L gemina, v. d. VVulp: I caught two males of this species at 

 Worthing on June 20th, 1876. It is very distinct from L. litorea, 

 Fin., with which Kowarz has somewhat carelessly united it. I caught 

 two males and one female of L. litorea at Fawley on June 22nd, 1875. 



73. Cordylura umbrosa, Lw. : this species, described by Loew in 

 1873 from Hungary (as certified by types from Kowarz), has been 

 the commonest to me of the large Cordylurce in Britain. I have taken 

 it at Abbey Wood in August, 1869, and May, 1871, at Wicken Fen 

 in July, 1875, and at Lewes in May, 1881. The scutellum bearing 

 only two bristles distinguishes it from any species recorded as British 

 up to the present time. It is probably the species which was labelled 

 C. pudica, Mg , in most old English collections, but Meigen's species 

 is very distinct, and is probably the same asZetterstedt's C. geniculata, 

 which has been taken recently by Mr. R. C. Bradley in Sutton Park,
