H. Loew (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, pp. 283-284) remarks upon the divi- 
sions which may be recognized in this group. He divides it into two main 
sections, the first having the first longitudinal vein setiferous or hairy, the 
second having this vein naked. The latter may be again divided into two 
gi'oups, according as the femora are unarmed or distinctly spinous beneath. 
The group with spinous femora is exclusively American. Loew proposes to 
give it the name of Richardina, the genus lUchardia being its best-known 
representative. The group with unarmed femora is represented in Europe 
by the genera Seoptera (Kirby), Timia (Wied.), VUdia (Meig.), Chryso- 
myza (Fall.), and Empyelocera (Loew). It is denominated by Loew Uni- 
DiNA. Empyelocera is peculiarly European ; the other genera occur in Asia 
and, with the exception of Seopteray also in Africa. America includes nu- 
merous forms of Ulidina, but Seoptera is the onl}'' genus common to both 
hemispheres. This and Eumetopia (Macq.) are the only two described genera. 
The species of the latter (E. ritfipesy Macq., and E. varipeSy Loew) are figured 
(pi. 2. figs. 26, 26). 
Kunckel and Laboulbene notice the destruction of numerous plants of 
a species of Anthemis by a dipterous larva, probably that of Tephritis anthe- 
misicB (Westw.). Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, p. lii.
