NOTES ON CEYLON DIPTERA. 
171 
Chrysopilus magnipennis, Brun.—The type of this species is from 
Maskeliya taken in August, since receiving which a second female 
has been sent me (in bad condition) from Kandy, IX. 07, and a third 
female in good condition from Kandy, VII. 09. Described by me 
in Rec. Ind. Mus., III., 213. 
Hyperalonia sphinx , F.—On my way out to the East I took two 
females at Colombo, 1 VII. 04, both the worse for wear. 
Exoprosopa collaris, W.—One female, Trincomalee, IX. 09. 
E. flammea , Brun.—One female, Dambulla, VIII. 09. The species 
described by me in Rec. Ind. Mus., II., 466,from a single female in 
the Indian Museum, from Pusa, 17 IV. 07. 
Argyramoeha distigma , W.—One or two from Kandy. 
A. ceylonica, Brun.—The type in my collection described in 
Rec. Ind. Mus., II., 471, from Kandy, with two other males, October 
and November, 1907. Also occurs at Pusa, VII. and VIII. 
A. fulvula, W. ( degenera , Wlk.).—Herr Kertesz gives this species 
(< degenera , Wlk.) as synonymous with fulvula , W., and refers the latter 
species to Argyramoeha. In my recent revised ‘ ‘ Catalogue of Oriental 
Bombylidae ” it was retained under Anthrax , the description being 
insufficient to enable me to judge. 
Anthrax , sp., near afra, F., with basal half of wing black, and 
silver tip to abdomen. Kandy, VII. 09. 
Bombylius wulpii , Brun. (Comastes pulchellus, V. W.).—A pair 
in cop. of this handsome little species, Peradeniya, IV. 09 ; an 
additional male, Kandy, VIII. 09 ; an additional female, Kandy, 
VII. 09. See Rec. Ind. Mus., II., 457, for my synonymy and reasons 
for change of name. 
B. propinquus, Brun.—One, Haragama, January, 08, a male, is 
the type, described in Rec. Ind. Mus., III., 226, a unique. 
Syneches hicolor, Big. (Pterospilus , id.).—Not rare. I have seen 
several from Kandy, V. and IX. 09. 
Baccha nubilipennis , Aust.—Four males from Kandy, X., XI. 07. 
B. pulchrifrons , Aust.—Two males, Peradeniya, XI. 07. 
Syrphus salvice, W.—Generally common during summer. 
S. cegrotus, F.—As above. Both species, I believe, are now 
relegated to Asarcina. 
Megaspis crassus , F., and M. zonalis, F.—Both sexes of both species 
are generally common throughout the summer. 
Mr. Austen informs me that Megaspis will have to be super¬ 
seded. 
Chrysotoxum citronellum, Brun.—The type (male), a unique, is from 
Kandy, XII. 07, described in Rec. Ind. Mus., II., 90. 
Microdon auricintus , Brun.—The type male is from Kandy , X. 07, 
whilst I possess females from Kandy, IV., V., and IX. 
M. ? flavipes, Brun.—A large female from “ Nitre Cave,” Ceylon, 
VII. 02, is apparently this species, which was described (Rec. Ind. 
Mus., II., 92) from specimens in the Indian Museum.
