Mar., 1911.] The Stratiomyidae of Cedar Point. 
301 
The following species have been taken: 
Odontomvia — 
cincta Olivier, 
hydroleonoides Johnson, 
virgo Wied. 
vertebrata Say. 
nigerrima Loew. 
Stratiomyia — 
badia Walker, 
lativentris Loew. 
meigenii Wied. 
normula Loew. 
discalis Loew. 
Geosargus elegans Loew. 
Pachygaster pulcher Loew. 
Nothomyia viridis Hine. 
The first three species of Odontomyia were very common both 
on land and water, while 0. vertebrata and O. nigerrim seem to be 
rare, only one specimen of each having been taken. The species 
of Stratiomyia were found on land and were commonest in the 
vicinity of Black Channel. 
A NEW SPECIES OF NOTHOMYIA. 
Jas. S. Hike. 
The genus Nothomyia is one of the little known genera of 
Diptera so far as records show. It was described by Loew in 
Diplera Americae Septentrionalis, Centuria VIII, 4, 1869, and so 
far as I have observed there are no references to it since except in 
check lists and manuals. Two Cuban species were described at 
the time and Loew expressed the opinion that Oxycera metallica 
Weidemann, from St. Thomas should be included. 
Members of the genus have the abdomen five segmented, 
scutellum with two marginal spines, third antennal segment with 
a terminal arista, eyes contiguous in the male and separated in the 
female. Wings with four posterior veins, three of which arise 
from the discal cell and the fourth from the second basal. Third 
vein without an anterior branch. Nothomyia scutellata Loew 
from Cuba is the type species. 
Nothomyia viridis n. sp. Length five millimeters Body shin- 
ing green above and clothed rather sparsely with soft white hair. 
Front in the female rather narrow above, gradually widened 
downward, produced below so that the antennae are at the tip of 
a distinct prominence, front of male similar but divided by the 
eyes. Antenna with three distinct segments, first segment about 
equal to the second, third segment composed of annulations and
