Loew, JB. gel. Ges. Krak. xli. (p. 16) believes Sapromyza decipiens, Lw., S. 
Iceta^ Zett., and Lauxania sordida, Hal., to be all distinct species. 
Lauxania crinicornis, Mauritius ; curvinervis, China ; latifrons, Manilla ; 
melanogasteTj Sydney j nigropunctata, Guam ; nasalis, planiscuta, quadrisetosUf

Trypetince. ^ 
Rondani, Bull. Soc. Ital. ii. pp. 5-31, makes several changes in synonymy 
in this family : in Myopites he makes /imJart/te, Schin.,=s^2//ato, F. ; macn- 
lata and meniharum^ R.-Desv., longwostris, Lw., and frauenfeldi, Schiner, = 
blotiiy Br^b. ; while inulce, v. Roser, is distinct from stylata, F. : in Urophora, 
et'iolepidis, Lw.fbrunmcorms, R.-Desv., and apr{ca,Mg.j=icentaurecs, R.-Desv. ; 
d^'eanii, R.-Desv., =aj9nca, Fall. ; stigma, ljw.,—unimaculata, v. Roser ; 
solstitialis, R.-Desv., F. ; soncki, '^.-T)&sy., = quadrifasciata, Mg.: in 
Carpomyia, schineri, Lw., and bucchichi, Frfld., = i;eswmana, Costa, and he 
prefers the name signata, Mg., to cerasi, L. ; he also defends the genus Car- 
pomyia for these two species : in Petalopliora ( = Ceratitis, M‘Leay) he di- 
stinguishes capitata, W., from hispaniea, Br4m^ ; in Stemonocera (n. gen., vide 
infra) he makes abrotani, Mg.,=cornuta, Scop., and therefore excludes cornuta, 
Scop., from the synonyms of Ceriocera (olim Cerajocera) cornuta, Fabr. : in 
Tripetg, acuticornis, 1 jW., = longicornis, Mg. ; onotrophes, Lw., solstitialis, Pz. 
(nec alior.), dorsalis, Mcq. nec Desv., arctii. Fall. pt. Zett. Tiec Mg., Mcq.,=c2/- 
lindrica, R.-Desv., of which he also suspects lucida, Lw., to be a variety ; 
rujicauda, F., hndi punctata, Fall. (\S\‘C),=iJlorescentics, L. ; he considers sue- 
cinea^ Costa {=falcata, pt. Lw., ^chin), falcata. Scop, {^octopunctata, Mcq., 
and Jlavescens, R.-Desv.), audi punctata, Schrk. {=.inter media, Frfld., and fal- 
cata, pt. Lw., Schin.), to be distinct species j tussilaginis, F., acanthi, Schrk., 
and vicina, Mcq., =«rc<iV, Deg. ; and he thinks dentata, Lw., a variety of se?’- 
ratulce, L. : in Oxyna, elongatula, \x^.,—absinthii, F. ; absinthii, Lw., he re- 
names dracunculi ; producta and tessellata, Lw. ? ,=ipunctella. Fall. ; obesa, Lw., 
= femoralis, R.-Desv. ; proboscidea, Lw. ?, = cinerea, R.-Desv., which is 
distinct from pantherina, Fall., = parietina, L. At the commencement 
of this paper (pp. 6-10) is an analytical table of all the Italian genera of 
Trypetince. 
Weyenbubgh, Tijd. Ent. (2) v. pp. 190-195, pi. 7, gives a full life- 
history of Trypeta serratulce, L. {=ipallens, Mg.,^a^a^a and luteola, R.-Desv., 
but not serratulce. Fab., which ^acuticot'nis, Lw.). 
Loew, B. E. Z. xiv. pp. 143, 144, redescribes Carphotricha guttulosa and 
Tephritis poecilura. 
Frauenpeld, Verb. z.-b. Wien., xx. p. 660, mentions Trypeta eluta, from 
Triest, and, p. 663, congrua and eriolepidis, from Alplsteig.
