In this long memoir Lioy has given a complete classification of 
the Diptera; but, although he describes it as being on a new 
method, his system is essentially founded on that of Macquart, 
with the introduction of some modifications or additions sug- 
gested by the works of Bobineau-Desvoidy and others. The 
chief characteristic of Lioy^s classification (which it shares, un- 
fortunately, with too many modern systematic works) consists 
in the establishment of numerous subfamilies. A sketch of the 
classification will be given below. Many new genera are esta- 
blished by the author, a few new species are described, and the 
illustrated species cited compose a list of the Diptera of Northern 
Italy and of the neighbouring countries.
