Chiefly relates to Xylophagidce and Stratiomyiidoi. After notices of the 
position and characters of various genera, the following notes occur : — 
Xenomotpha, Macq., = Chyromyza, AVied., = llylorus, Phil. ; llexacantha 
Lioy, = Beris ; D. tibialis, chalybceata, morrisl, vallata, nigra, sexdentata, 
mexicana, incisuralis, and albitarsis belong to Hoplacantha ; B. lucifera, 
B. spiniger, alias, and servillii belong to Exosreta', B. clavipes,maculipennis, 
jlavispmosa, and guerini belong to Octacantha ; Heterostomus, Bigot (pre- 
occupied), is renamed Heterostomyia ; and the species H. flexipalpis should 
be called H. infiexipalpis [!] ; Stratiomys riparia and furcata belong to 
Thyreodontha ; S. solennis, lutatius, garatus, ialemus, and paron belong to 
Odontomyia ; Od. argentata, interrupta, heydeni, and dispar belong to 
Hoplodonta ; 0. tigrina and nigrita belong to Psellidotus ; Clitellaria paci- 
Uca and Cyclogaster rubriceps belong to Lasiopa ; Chrysomyia flavicornis 
and Sargus politus, bicolor, and viridis belong to Microclirysa ; S. nigrifemo- 
ratus belongs to Merosargus ; S. longipennis, insignis, Jlavipennis, posticus, 
and testaceus belong to Plecticus ; S. hovas probably belongs to Chrysonotus ; 
S. tenebrifer, natalensis, aureus P, stamineus (sic), and lunus ?, belong to 
Pedicella, Big., which is renamed Macrosargus. The author then re- 
describes known genera and species (chiefly his own) as follows : — Macro- 
ceromys, Euceromys and E. nexura (Walk. ?), CHalcochcetis, Trichochceta, 
and Enoplomyia. The paper concludes with remarks on the structural 
characters of the Asilidce, with special reference to the genera LapJiyctis 
and Laphystia.
