ZOOLOGICAL LITERATURE. 
(Loew), and alpina (sp. n.). The characters of E. macra and alpina are im- 
perfectly indicated. The third set of species here treated of hy Loew (/. c. 
pp. 25-62 and 160-166) are those belonging to the group of E, chioptera, 
which possess dark halteres j and these he brings together in subordinate 
groups, so as to facilitate as much as possible their very difticult identification 
(see p. 164). The total number of species cited by Loew under this category 
is 28, of which only the following wore previously described : — E. Jlorisomna 
(Loew), E. pusio (Egg.), and E. chioptei'a and volucris (Meig.). But he gives 
a list (1. c. pp. 56-57) of species with dark halteres with which he is not ac- 
quainted, but which probably belong to the same group, and some of which 
are perhaps identical with his supposed new species. 
Empis tessellata. Perty (Mitth. naturf. Gesellsch. in Bern, 1867, p. 306) 
notices an example with the head and proboscis monstrously developed, the 
former bearing two long, horn-like excrescences.
