ADDITIONS TO THE PHORID^ OF FORMOSA 
(DIPTERA)i 
By Charles T. Brues. 
In 19 ID the present writer published a list of the Phoridse 
of Formosa, based on collections made by Mr. Hans Sauter 
during the years 1907 and 1908. Several years later, in 1911 
and 1912 the same collector obtained an additional extensive 
series which are dealt with in the present paper. The material 
here considered, like the previous series was loaned from the 
collections of the Hungarian National Museum by my good 
friend the late Dr. K. Kertesz and the types have been returned 
to the museum. The first collection contained twenty species, 
all but one undescribed at that time. The present one includes 
fifteen species of which eight are new and seven have been pre- 
viously described; of the latter one is the widespread Aphiochceta 
picta Lehm., another a species known from Java and seven 
were described from Formosa in my previous paper. 
Thirty species are therefore at present known to occur in 
Formosa, distributed in the following genera: Dohrniphora (4), 
Hypocera (1), Conicera (1), Aphiochajta (21), Phalacrotophora 
(1), Mallochina (1), and Puliciphora (1). Becker has reported 
the occurence of Aphiochceta flava Falk, A. lutea Meig. and A. 
pulicaria Falk, and described Aphiochceta fasciventris which is 
not recognizable from his description. His Phora hicolorata is a 
synonym of the first species listed below.

This is evidently a common species as there are nine spe- 
cimens from Kaukau (April, July and August) and Taihorin 
(May, July, August). It occurs also in Java. The proboscis of
