NOTES ON THE LONCHAEIDAE (DIPT.). 209 



of which he says, " fairly common blue-black Lonchaea sometimes seen sitting on 

 leaves in the neighbourhood of excrement." But these last words may prove that 

 it is a Lonchaea, s. str. 



8. Lonchaea (Garpolonchaea) filifera, Bezzi. 



Lonchaea filif era, Bezzi, Phihpp. Jl. Sci., viii, D., 1913, p. 320. 



Of this species, which seems to be common in the Philippine Islands, I have seen 

 other specimens from Luzon, Laguna, Los Banos and Mt. Maquiling (C F. Baker), 

 and from Manila, x. 1918 (R. C. MacGregor). 



The yellow penis is not always visible ; the female is characterised by the broad, 

 dull black frons. 



9. Lonchaea (Garpolonchaea) plumosissima, Bezzi, 1919. 



Of this African species I have seen a male specimen from the Philippines, Luzon, 

 Los Banos (C F. Baker), which agrees perfectly in the arista with the typical 

 specimens from the Gold Coast ; it has a deep black, quite opaque frons, and the 

 wings deep yellowish- fuscous on the fore half. 



10. Lonchaea (Garpolonchaea) excisa, Kertesz. 



Lonchaea excisa, Kertesz, Term. Fiizet., xxiv, 1901, p. 87 ; de Meijere, Tijds. 

 V. Ent., h. 1908, p. 133 ; liii, 1910, p. 118, pi. 7, fig. 50 ; Ix, 1918, p. 350. 



Of this, in the male sex, very characteristic species, originally described from 

 Singapore and recorded from Java and Smialur, there are in the Imperial Bureau 

 Collection specimens from Ceylon, Peradeniya, 1918 {N. K. Jardine), and from the 

 same locality, 8.vi.l915 (Green) ; also from South India, Coimbatore, 17.vii.l912. 

 In the Phihppines it is a common species, caught in different locaHties of Luzon 

 and of Mindanao by C. F, Baker and R. C. MacGregor ; I have also seen specimens 

 taken at Singapore by Prof. Baker. 



11. Lonchaea (Garpolonchaea) setifera, de Meijere. 



Lonchaea setifera, de Meijere, Tijds. v. Ent., liii, 1910, p. 119, pi. vii, fig. 52; Ix, 

 1918, p. 350. 



Even this species, described from Java and recorded from Simalur and New 

 Guinea, is common in the Philippines, as I have seen specimens from Los Banos 

 and Mt. Maquiling (C. F. Baker) ; from Manila (R, C. MacGregor) ; from Leyte, 

 Tacloban (C. F. Baker.) 



12. Lonchaea (Garpolonchaea) lucens, de Meijere. 



Lonchaea lucens, de Meijere, Tijd. v. Entom., liii, 1910, p. 118, pi. vii, fig. 51 ; 

 Ix, 1918, p. 350. 



Originally described from Java and recorded from Sumatra, I have seen specimens 

 from the Philippines : Luzon, Los Banos (C. F. Baker) and Panay, Culasi, v. 1918 

 (R. C. MacGregor).
