INSECTA — LEPIDOPTERA. 
251 
antennal joint oval, and having a bristle at the end, containing : A, oh- 
scura, Mg., and a new species, A. nigra. Leptis stigmatica, ephippium 
cinerea, Chrysopila Iceta, are new species. 
Thereua and Psilocephala, Zett., differing from Thereua by the bald 
under part of face (containing Th. imberhis, Pall., conjinis and eximia, 
Mg., lapponica, Zett.), he places with the Anthracidoe. His Th. an- 
nulata is a new species from the south and middle of Sweden. Th. 
venusta of the reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 272) is another, from Van 
Diemen’s Land. 
BoMBYLiEDiE. — Zctterstcdt (Dipt. Suec. p. 190) has mentioned a new 
species, Bombylius albibarbis, which is nearly allied to the B. minor ^ 
but double the size, and distinguished by the long third joint of its an- 
tennse and black knees. 
Westwood (Guerin Mag. de ZooL, Ins. pi. 90) has given a short 
monograph on Systropus, Wd. To the two species described by Wiede- 
mann, he has added three new ones : S.foenoides, from Mexico ; S.fumi- 
pennis, from Brazil ; S. eumenoides, from the North of India. The 
Berlin collection possesses a species from Brazil, which agrees with 8. 
fumipennis in the black anterior thighs, but the posterior are very 
thick, which is not mentioned by Westwood; it is, therefore, probably 
different. We also possess an undescribed species from South Africa. 
Hybotinid^. — Stager (Kroyer Naturh. Tidsskr. iv. p. 98) has sifted 
the synonymes of the species of Ocydromia : Oc. fiavipes and ruficollis^ 
Mg., are $ and $ of one species, and form the genus Leptopeza, Macq. ; 
Oc. rufipes, Mg., he considers as a distinct species, of which the $ is 
still doubtful; Oc. scutellata, Mg., is only a bright variety of the O. 
glabricula {$), Fall., to the $ of which, also, 0. dorsalis and nigri- 
pennis, Mg., and melanopleura, Loew, are joined. 
Zetterstedt (Dipt. Scand.) has characterized a new species, 0. nigripes, 
found once in Gland ; also of Leptopeza : tibialis, borealis, from Lap- 
land ; jiavimana, nigripes, from Norway. Of Hybos : infuscatus, Stag., 
from Lund. Of (Edalia : stigmatella, distinguished from (E. hybotina 
by the undivided margin of the mouth. Gimmerthal (Bull. Mosc. p. 665) 
has mentioned (Edalia pennata as a new species, which has the poste- 
rior thighs feathered on each side. 
Tachydromidje. — Zetterstedt (Dipt. Scand.) has characterized a new 
genus, Phyllodromia, differing from Hemerodromia only by the long 
antennal bristles, containing H. melanocephala, F., vocatoria, Fall., 
and albiseta, Zett. For the greater number of the new species in this 
family, I refer to the work itself. Gimmerthal (Bull. Mosc. p. 667) has 
described Tachydromia brunnipes as a new species. 
Empidje. — A number of new species of the genera Hilara, Wiede- 
mannia, Empis, and Rhamphomyia, are described by Zetterstedt (Dipt. 
Scand.) Stager (Kroyer Naturh. Tidsskr. iv. p. 102) has remarked,
