REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1907 265 
Species which belong to the Ceratopogoninae but not sufficiently 
characterized to place are: sordidellus (belongs to Bezzia. or 
Johannseniella), basalis and obscurus (Palpomyia or 
Bezzia), arcticus and sequax (belong to Ceratopogon or 
Johannseniella), albarius and dimidiatus (belong to 
Johannseniella or Palpomyia), rufus and subasper (belong 
to Palpomyia or Heteromyia), and scutellatus Say (wholly 
IndelLermMinatc) a MeMSpecics Shenmammatus and wheeler 
re known only in the immature stages. 
Genus CERATOPOGON 
Meigen, 1803; Kieffer, 1899, 1906 
Meigen (1803) mentions barbicornis as the representative 
of this genus. This was evidently an erroneous identification, since 
in 1804 he placed it among unknown species and gave a compiled 
description, followed by the remark that he was not certain whether 
the species described under this name by Gmelin and Schrank was 
the true barbicornis or whether they had mistaken his 
Ceratopogon communis for it—thus apparently indicat- 
ing that he had made the same mistake previously. It thus appears 
that Meigen had communis in mind as the representative of 
the genus and it must therefore be considered as the type. [I am 
indebted to Mr Coquillett for the quotation from Meigen (1804). 
Ceratopogon communis, though not a well known 
species, belongs without doubt (as may be seen from Meigen’s 
description) to the genus Ceratopogon as now restricted, under the 
subgenus Atrichopogon of Kieffer. 
The following North American species are referred to the genus 
Ceratopogon. Those marked with an asterisk may possibly belong
