ScENOPINIDiE. 
Scenopinus fenestralis (Linn.). Frauenfeld (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, 
Bd. xiv. pp. 65-68) describes the metamorphoses of this species, the larva 
of which lives, according to Assmuss, in rotten strawberries, and, according 
to Bouch^, in rotten fungi, whilst the larvae from which Frauenfeld ’s speci- 
mens were reared were living in dry horse-hair. Frauenfeld thinks that 
there may be some error in the former observations, especially in those of 
Assmuss. Loew found three larvae in a swallow’s nest, which he regards as 
belonging to a species of Thereva ; Frauenfeld is inclined to refer them to 
Scenopinus.
