Clare Island Survey — Differ a. 25 15 



Hilara chorica Fin. — CI. : seven $ and eighteen <J (G ). M. : Mulranny, 

 Westport, Lough near Westport, Clogher, Belclare, Knappagh, and 

 Castlebar Lough (G.). 



*H. cinereomicans Strobl. — M. ; Westport, one <J (G.). The specimen here 

 recorded agrees in nearly every respect with Strobl's description, and I 

 am tolerably certain of the identification. The fork of the cubical vein, 

 however, appears to be somewhat wider than his description indicates. 

 On the other hand, the arrangement of the hairs and bristles on the 

 legs, especially those of the front tibire and tarsi, is very characteristic, 

 and agrees exactly. 

 H. flavipes Mg. — M. : Louisburgh (M.) ; Belclare (H.) ; Lough near West- 

 port, Knappagh, and Castlebar Lough (G.). Yerrall, in his List, followed 

 Schiner in relegating this species to a distinct genus (Oreogeton), but it 

 is now generally considered to be a true Hilara. 

 **H. lasiopyga Lundbeck. — M. : Westport, nineteen $ and one ? in Demesne, 

 July, 1911 (G.). This interesting species, hitherto unrecorded from the 

 British Isles, was described as new by Lundbeck, in his " Diptera 

 Danica" (Part iii, pp. 178-180) in 1910. It is easily distinguished, as 

 Lundbeck states, " by the erect hairs at the end of the abdomen, and by 

 the, to be sure small, but, however, very characteristic dilatation at the 

 base of the middle metatarsi." Our Irish specimens agree with the 

 original description in every respect, save that the front metatarsus 

 appears to me to be broader than shown in Lund beck's figure, while I 

 can only see one bristle — not a pair — at the apex of the same joint. 



H. litorea Fin. — M. : Belclare, one <J and three ? (H.) ; Brackloon Wood, 



one $ and <j> (G.). 

 *H. quadrivittata Mg. — M. : Belclare, one <J (H.). 



H. sp. — Two $ and four 9 of a species which I cannot determine were 

 taken by me in the Demesne at Westport, July, 1911. 



Trichina clavipes Mg.— CI. : two £ and two $ (G.). M. : Glendarary, 

 one £ (H.) ; Louisburgh, one $ (M.). 



Ocydromia glabricula Fin. — M. : Glendarary, one <J (H.) ; Westport, one 

 $ (? collector) ; Brackloon Wood, one ? (G.). 



Kowarzia (Clinocera) bipunctata Hal. — M. : Belclare, one ? (G.). 



Heleodromia foutinalis ffal. — M..: Croaghpatrick, one £ (M.) ; Belclare 

 three £ (G ). 



Hemerodromia oratoria Fin. — M. : Glendarary, one ? (H.) ; Achill, one $ . 



H. precatoria Fin. — CI. : one ^ (H.). M. : Westport, one ? in Demesne (H.). 



Chelipoda (Lepidomyia) melanocephala Fab.— CI. : two $ and ? (G.). M. ; 

 Glendarary, one ? , and Belclare, one £ and one $ (H.).
