ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
Phora tuhericola, sp. n., Frauenfeld, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. 
p. 972, Austria. The larva lives in a species of Truffle, Choeromyces mmandri- 
formis (Vitt.). 
MuSCIDiE. 
II. L 6w (Sclir. naturf. Ges. in Danzig, . neue Folge, J3d. i.) refers to the 
characters of Crusskcta {Elachiplcra) hrcvlpomds (Meig.) and Apterina {lior- 
horns) pedestris (Meig.) among other species of Diptera with imperfectly de- 
veloped or abortive wings found in the neighbourhood of Danzig. The other 
insects referred to are a new species of Anthomyza and a species of Haliday’s 
genus Epidapus, which Low hesitates either to describe as new or to identify 
with Haliday’s species E. venaticus. The colour of the body is reddish brown 
instead of blade, and that of the legs pale yellowish instead of testaceous. 
The author thinks that his specimen may be an immature individual of Ilali- 
day’s species, although it possesses tibial spurs, which are not indicated in 
Westwood’s figure of E. venaticus. The species described by Low were taken 
by Menge. 
Tachinides. 
F. Low (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. p. 948) remarks upon the 
occurrence of several species of this subfamily. He obtained Nemorcea 4- 
pustidata (Fab.) from Sphinx Ugustriy Elior ocer a unicolor (Fall.) from Croesus 
laticnis, and Masicera sylvatica (Fall.) from Saturnia pyri. 
Euthera, g. n., II. Loew, Berl. eiit. Zeits. 1866, p. 47. Eyes naked ; face naked 
and keeled j antenna3 linear, longer than face, with a naked seta ; third lon- 
gitudinal vein straight, and first posterior cell truncate, closed far from the 
margin. Sp. E. tentatrix, sp. n., Loew, 1. c. p. 46, from New York. 
Rhinophora signata, sp. n., Mik, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. p. 307, 
Gorz ; R. disiinguenda^ Mik, 1. c. p. 308, Trieste. 
Ageulocera cinerea, sp. n., Mik, 1. c. p. 309, Gorz. 
Anthomyides. 
Anthomyza. Loew (Zeitschr. ges. Naturw. xxiv. p. 394) notices the 
synonymy of this genus, and rejects Zetterstedt’s name Anthophilina and 
Macqiiart’s Leptomyza, on the ground that there is no reason why the names 
Anthomyza and Anthomyia should not coexist. Loew thinks that Gcomyza 
ftrmjyenms (Zett.) and G. sabulosa (Hal.) are identical, and refers the species 
to Anthomyza as A. sabulosa. 
Aricia maculifrons (Zett.). $ characterized by Siebke, Entom. Unders. p. 35. 
Anthomyza saliens, sp. n., H. Low, Schr. nat. Ges. in Danzig, neue Folge, 
i. p. 5, Prussia (wings rudimentary). 
Helomyzides. 
Limnia manni (Schin.) = Tetanocera irivittata (Loew), according to Loew, 
Zeitschr. ges. Naturw. xxiv. p. 393. 
The structure of the egg in Scatophaya is described by T. West, Trans. 
Micr. Soc. Lond. xiv. pp. 67-68, pi. 7. figs. 1-7. 
Ilelomyza maxima (Schin.). The larva of this species is described by 
Frauenfeld (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. p. 971). It lives in a white 
{Cheer omy CCS mceandriformis fNiii.). 
Leucopis griseola (Fall.) has been obtained by F. Low from the galls of 
Chcrmesidmi. Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvi. p. 949.
