Among the collection received from the Philippines in the 
latter part of December, 1908, were several specimens belonging 
to Theobald’s Oculiomyia , a peculiar and interesting genus, the 
small heads and large contiguous eyes suggesting some members 
of the family Acroceridae . The specimens sent are of a new 
species ” (Ludlow).
