Type material. Cea pulicaris Walker. Type (probably holotype) $, Ireland, Co. 

 Down, Holywood {Haliday) in Haliday coll. ; it was mounted on a card and the 

 pin bears a green label " pulicaris " in Haliday 's handwriting, also a white one 

 " 587 "; I have given the specimen the serial number (Haliday coll. 11). In 1954 

 I examined the type which was in perfect condition except that the clava was missing 

 from both antennae ; the figures in Entomologist 1 (pi. O, figs. 4, 4a) which were 

 drawn by Haliday himself, show the antennal clava as missing, so that the illustra- 

 tions must have been made from the type female. Unfortunately the type has since 

 been broken off the card by some person and lost. 



Cea irene Walker. Type (probably holotype) $ (Ireland) in Haliday coll. ; it 

 is mounted on a card and bears a label " Cea Irene " in Walker's handwriting ; I 

 have given it the serial number (Haliday coll. 10). When first examined by the 

 writer only the wings and legs of the type remained, the rest had been broken off 

 sometime before 1922, when Blood noted its damaged condition in his manuscript. 



Jansson (1945 : 44-50) recorded having taken, in the vicinity of Orebro in Sweden, 

 females of both pulicaris and irene, as well as winged males which he referred to 

 pulicaris. He captured all his specimens in the same locality and concluded that 

 pulicaris and irene were respectively the brachypterous and macropterous forms 

 of one species, pulicaris Walker. The characters of the male of pulicaris were 

 diagnosed, and its antenna figured, by Boucek (1952 : 160, fig. 4).

Biology. Boucek (1961 : 55-56) examined a female of pulicaris from northern 

 Germany, which had been reared from a mine of Phytomyza pauliloewi Hend. (Dipt., 

 Agromyzidae), 9.vii.i927 (Prof. M. Hering). Imagines July- August. 



SPALANGIOPELTA Masi 



Spalangiopelta Masi, 1922c : 169-174. Type-species : S. brachyptera Masi, by monotypy. 

 Spalangiopelta Masi ; Boucek, 1952 : 158, 160-163. 

 Spalangiopelta Masi ; Erdos, 1956 : 193-194. 



The differences between Spalangiopelta and Cea were noted by Boucek (1952) who 

 described a new species of the former genus and gave a key to the European species. 

 Another species was described by Erdos (1956) who gave a revised key to the 

 European species. I have since described a fourth species.
