Psilides, 
Piophilus casei. Goureau (Insectes nuisiblcs, pp. 184-187) describes the 
characters and habits of this species. 
Oscinides. 
ScHiNER (Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 326-328) discusses the 
position of Oclithipliila litorella (Fall.), which he considers to have been cor- 
rectly placed by Ilaliday in the genus Schoenomyia. Schiner regards this 
form as most nearly allied to the Milichicc, 
Cldorops strigula (Fab.). Kiinsiler reports on this insect as injurious to 
corn-crops. Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. pp. 936-940. 
Dr. Krauss (Wiirtt. naturw. .Jahresh. xxii. p. 128) records the occurrence 
of immense quantities of a species of Cldorops (Iccta or geminata) in the 
neighbourhood of Stuttgart in the autumn of 1865. 
Perty (Mitth. naturf. Ges. in Bern, 1807, pp. 233-237) notices the abun- 
dant occurrence near Berne of a species of Oscinis ( Cldorops) nearly allied to 
Cldorops lineata. 
Geomyzulcs, 
Drosophila cellaris. The characters and habits of this species are described 
by Goureau (Insectes nuisiblcs, pp. 188, 189). 
Pholeomyia, g. n., Bilimck, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. p. 903. 
Allied to Milichia ; proboscis short, with narrow lips (Saug/ldche) and nearly 
spoon-shaped palpi ; eyes oval, not hairy ; scutellum obtusely rounded. Sp. 
P, leucozona, Bilimek, 1. c, p. 903, Mexico (Cave of Cacahuamilpa). 
Hydromyzides. 
Teichomyza fusca (Macq.). A. Laboulbene describes and figures this 
species in all its stages, with full details of the structure of the larva (Ann. 
Soc. Ent. Fr. 4^ ser. vii. pp. 33-42, pi. 6 ). The fly is exceedingly abundant 
in the public urinals in France, and the larva lives in human urine. Laboul- 
bene identifies with it the larvre described and figured by Davaine in 1857 as 
having been evacuated from the intestines of a woman after she had sufiered 
much pain. 
Ilydrellia griscola (Fall.). Stein (Berl. ent. Zeits. 1867, pp. 396-397), from 
the observations of Miinter, records the larva of this species as injurious to 
barley in the neighbourhood of Groifswald. lie figures the larva and tho 
imago, and also gives much enlarged figures of the wing and antennro of tho 
latter (/. c. pi. 3. figs. 7-10). 
Cyphops, g. n., Jaennicke, Abh. Senck. Ges. vi. p. 367. Allied to Dphydra ; 
head bare, triangular from above, quadrate from the side ; epistoma inflated ; 
proboscis stout ; palpi short, clavatc, compressed 5 nntenme inserted beneath
