Loew, in his remarks on the European Tipulce. of whieh tlie 
females have rudimentary wings (Wien. ent. Mon. viii. pp.l20- 
128), refers to other forms of Diptera in whieh the same eha- 
racter occurs in one or both sexes, namely, Epidapus (Hal.) 
and Chionea (Dalm.), both sexes apterous; Psyllomyia (Loew), 
Apterina (Macq.), and Elachiptera (Macq.), and species of 
Tachista, Chersodromia, and Geomyzay have rudimentary wings 
in both sexes ; in other forms the wings are only abbreviated 
(Sciomyzay sp.) in both sexes, or those of the male or female 
are smaller than in the other sex (species of EmpiSy Rhampho- 
myitty Idiopteray and Tipula). 
Van der Wulp gives a list of species of Diptera recently 
detected in Holland (Tijdschr. voor Entom. 1865, p. 41) : — 
Ilypophylhis crinipes (Stag.), Gymnoptermis chalyhcBus (Wied), Anthomyia 
invisa (Zett.), lointhcmi (Meig.), and albicincta (Fall.), Madiza annulitarsis 
(Zott.), Mosillus arcuatus (I.at.), Scatella sorhillans (Hal.) and sihilans (Ilal.), 
Ayromyza latipes (Meig.) and citrvipulpis (Zett,), Pkytomyza eleyans and 
ochripes (Meig,), and Phora sordipennis (Duf.) and urhana and crassicorms 
(Meig.). • .
