The spine on the basal lobe of the side-piece of the male 

 hypopygium is moderately stout only (PL I, fig. 2). In the 

 European species, which has been called nemorosus '^ (Lang, 

 Hand. Brit. Mosq., 91, 1920) this spine is distinctly stouter. 

 Lang's figure 64 shows the structure well, except that the artist 

 has omitted the long accompanying setae. I have a specimen 

 from the Royal Museum, Stockholm, Sweden, which agrees. 



^ Mr. Edwards informs me that the types of nemorosiis Meigen are another 

 species, leaving the present species nameless. Mr. Edwards thinks that punctor 

 Kirby will cover both forms; but with this I can scarcely agree, and would 

 suggest the name mcigenaiins for the European one.
