a little longer and slightly narrower than the second posterior 
cell, its stem very nearly as long as the cell and about the same 
length as the stem of the second posterior cell; posterior cross¬ 
vein more than twice its own length distant from the mid 
cross-vein. Halteres pale ochraceous. 
Length. —7 mm. 
Habitat. —England, at Sutton (Bradley); Italy (Ficalbi); 
Toronto, Canada (E. M. Walker) (66). 
Time of capture. —June, in England. 
Observations. —Mr. Bradley sends me a single 9 ? which 
answers in all ways to Ficalbi’s species C. Richardii , although 
the abdomen is not black as Ficalbi describes, but dusky brown ; 
the scales are rather denuded, however, which may account for 
Male genitalia of Taeniorliynchus Richardii 
(after Ficalbi). 
this discrepancy. There are scarcely any traces of mid banding 
to the fore metatarsi, but they may be detected by a few pale 
scales. Ficalbi states that the female bites man and animals, 
both in the daytime and at night, whilst the £ is harmless. 
A single male sent by E. M. Walker from Canada is 
undoubtedly the $ of this species, answering in nearly every 
detail to Ficalbi’s detailed description. 
The wing scales are similar in form to those of T. fasciclatus , 
Arri., and as such are more consistent characters than the 
ungues I place O. Richardii in this genus. 
As I have only received one £ from Canada 1 have been 
unable to examine the £ genitalia, but I feel confident without 
that final test that it is Ficalbi’s species.
