[Mr. Oberholser has pointed out (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 
Philad. 1899, p. 216) that the generic name Dilophus of 
Vieillot (1816) is preoccupied in Diptera. It seems to me a 
great pity that this well-known name should be overthrown, 
but I see no reason to dispute the accuracy of Mr. Ober- 
holser's conclusions.—R. B. S.]
