Gmelin confiders it as the fame infect, but Fabricius defcribes it as a 

 diftinft fpecies, diftinguifliing the M. Subcoleoptrata by the black 

 thorax^ and cinereous wings with two brown flexuous ftripes ; and 

 the M. Hemiptera (our prefent fpecies) by the thorax being fur- 

 rounded by a ferruginous border, and the cinereous wings varied with 

 yellowifti. — Fabricius has fince conftituted a new genus of Dipterous 

 infects, under the name of There va ; in which both thefe fpecies of 

 Mufca? are included*. 



This infe6l is very uncommon in England.
