LOEW (Z. ges. Naturw. xxxv. pp. 1-9) criticises some species of Scatopse,
especially transversalis, Lw.; soluta, Lw., and inermis, Ruth6, which he distinguishes
; infumata, Hal, =fuseinervis, Lw. ? ; and infumata, Wlk. (nee Haliday)
; this last he tries to identify with nigripennis, Mg., annulipes, v. Roser,
geniculata, Zett., or pulicaria, Zett. (nee Loew).
The remarks on 8. soluta and inermis also occur in Gel. Ges. Krak. xii.
Sonderabd. p. 11; and Loew there states that Bibio nigriventris, Hal, is distinct
from albipennis, Mg., with which Walker had united it.

RILEY, Amer. Ent. ii. p. 227, notices the same fact, which M'BRIDE, I. c.
p. 365, denies entirely.
