Ulidia melampodia, sp. n., Lw. /. c. no. 31, Turkestan.
Empyelocera abstersa, sp. n., Lw. I. c. no. 32, Turkestan.
Sapromyzince.
LOEW, JB. gel. Ges. Krak. xii. (p. 15) believes Sapromyza decipiens, Lw., S.
lata, Zett., and Lauxania sordida, Hal, to be all distinct species.
Lauxania crinicornis, Mauritius; curvinervis, China; latifrons, Manilla;
melanogaster, Sydney; nigropunctata, Guam ; nasalis, planiscuta, quadrisetosa,
California : spp. nn., Thorns. Eug. Resa (1868), pp. 567-569.
Sapromyza angustifrons, Mauritius; carinata, Sydney; connexa, Brazil;
setosa, Valparaiso: spp. nn., Thorns. I. c. pp. 564, 565.
Trypetince.
RONDANI, Bull. Soc. Ital. ii. pp. 5-31, makes several changes in synonymy
in this family : in Myopites he makes limbarda, Schm..,=stylata, F.; maeulata
and mentharum, R.-Desv., longirostris, Lw., and frauenfeldi, Schiner,=
blotii, Breh. ; while inula, v. Roser, is distinct from stylata, F.: in Urophora,
eriolepidis, hw.,brunnicornis, R.-Desv., and aprica, Mg., = centaurea, R.-Desv.;
dejeanii, R.-Desv.,=aprica, Fall.; stigma, Lw.,z=unimaculata, v. Roser;
solstitialis, R.-Desv.,=stylata, F.; sonchi, R.-Desv., = quadrifasciata, Mg.: in
Carpomyia, schineri, Lw., and bucchichi, Frfld., = vesuviana, Costa, and he
prefers the name signata, Mg., to eerasi, L.; he also defends the genus Carpomyia
for these two species: in Petalophora (= Ceratitis, M'Leay) he distinguishes
capitata, W., from hispanica, Bre'me': in Stemonocera (n. gen., vide
infra) he makes abrotani, M.g.,=comuta, Scop., and therefore excludes cornuta,
Scop., from the synonyms of Ceriocera (olim Cerajocera) cornuta, Fabr.: in
Tripeta, acuticornis,h-w.,-=longicornis, Mg.; onotrophes, Lw., solstitialis, Pz.
(nee alior.), dorsalis, Mcq. nee Desv., arctii, Fall. pt. Zett. nee Mg., Mcq.,=cylindrica,
R.-Desv., of which he also suspects lucida, Lw., to be a variety;
ruficauda, F., and punctata, Fall. (18U),=fiorescentia, L.; he considers succinea,
Costa (=faleata, pt. Lw., Schin.), falcata, Scop. ( = octopunctata, Mcq.,
tmifiavescens, R.-Desv.), and punctata, Schrk. (=intermedia, Frfld., and falcata,
pt. Lw., Schin.), to be distinct species ; tussilaginis, F., acanthi, Schrk.,
and vicina, Mcq., = arctii, Deg.; and he thinks dentata, Lw., a variety of serratula,
L.: in Oxyna, elonyatula, hw.,=absinthii, F.; absinthii, Lw., he renames
dracunculi; producta and tessellata, Lw. ?,=punctella, Fall.; obesa, Lw.,
= femoralis, R.-Desv.; proboscidea, Lw. ?, = cinerea, R.-Desv., which is
distinct from pantherina, Fall., = parietina, L. At the commencement
of this paper (pp. 5-10) is an analytical table of all the Italian genera of
Trypetina.
_ WEYENBURGH, Tijd. Ent. (2) v. pp. 190-195, pi. 7, gives a full lifehistory
of Trypeta serratula, L. (=pallens, Mg.,palpata aud luleola, R.-Desv.,
but not serratula, Fab., which =acuticornis, Lw.).
LOEW, B. E. Z. xiv. pp. 143, 144, redescribes Carphotricha guttulosa and
Tephritis pacilura.
FRAUENFELD, Verh. z.-b. Wien., xx. p. 660, mentions Trypeta ehita, from
Tnest, and, p. 663, congrua and eriolepidis, from Alplsteig.
