Zelier (Isis, p. 839) has given a minute description of the GEstriis 
stimulator', 01., with the well founded remark, that it is identical with 
the Lapland trompe, F. 
Muscaridjj. — A number of new species of dilferent genera have been 
characterized by Gimmerthal (Bull. Mosc.) ; Sarcophaga albipennis, 
Lucilia violacea, Pyrellia fasciata, Hylemyia Jlavescens and alholi- 
neata, Sapromyza 9-punctata, Cephalia 4:-punctata, Phora quadrata. 
The species described by Guillou (Rev. Zool. p. 315), are, Phrissopoda 
cyanea, from Tahiti; Sarcophaga propinqua, from the Isle of France, 
Isle of Bourbon, and St. Helena ; Calliphora dasyophtlialma, from the 
Auckland Islands, and G. magellanica, from the Straits of Magellan, 
both very like the G. vomitoria, but the former is distinguished by rough 
eyes, the latter by yellow cheeks and palpi with black tips; Musca 
oceanica, from ditferent parts of the South Sea, distinguished from 
M. corvina by yellowish halteres and the almost straight transverse 
nervures of the wings. 
Rutilia speciosa of the reporter (Arch. 1842, i. p. 273) is a new species 
from Van Diemen’s Land. 
Zeller (Isis, p. 840) has published an important contribution to our 
knowledge of the species of Gonia. He has enriched that genus with 
three new species, in addition to the G. fasciata and divisa, Mg. : 
G. trifaria (perhaps identical with G. capitata, Mg., but dilferent from 
G. capitata. Deg., Fall.), G. lateralis, and G. simplex, all from Silesia. 
According to a communication, made by Von Heyden, at the meeting 
of Naturalists at Mainz (1842), the larva of Gymnosoma lives as a pa- 
rasite in Pentatoma (Amtl. Bericht., &c., p. 209). 
Stager (Krbyer Naturh. Tidssker. p. 319) has distinguished three 
species, confounded uudiQT Atomog aster triquetra {Anthomyia triq.,y^d.) : 
A. Macquarti (triquetra, Macq.), tibialis and triquetra, Wd., Mg., 
Fall. ; the last differs, by shorter antennae, two spines on the middle 
thighs, and smaller size ; the others have longer antennae, and only one 
spine on the middle thighs ; the second has the anterior tibiae and the 
middle tarsi yellow. 
Waga (Ann. d. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. xi. p. 277, t. 11, f. 13-17) has cha- 
racterized a new genus, Adapsilia, which is allied to Sepedon and Te- 
tanocera ; with the former it agrees in the greater length of the second 
antennal joint, but the posterior thighs are not thickened, the abdomen 
in the $ is oval, in the 2 “ compressed conical A. coarctata, reddish- 
yellow, with brown spotted wings, was discovered at Warsaw. 
De Breme (Ann. d. 1. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. xi. p. 183, pi. 7, f. 2) has cha- 
racterized a new species of the genus Geratitis, MacLeay ; he has shown 
that G. citriperda, MacLeay, is identical with Trypeta capitata, Wd., 
for which Macquart has formed the genus Petalophora, and that the old 
si3ecies, which is found in the Canary Islands, Isle of France, and the
