Remarks: The above two species are certain and distinct, but the earlier descriptions, which were for the greatest part based on the colours, are often misleading. Loew, as is well known, took the two species together with the following as varieties, or more correctly, as stages of maturity of one species. Schiner's discription of stigma- tica is also incorrect, I have in the synonymy followed the Kat. pa- laarkt. Dipt., but I think it otherwise possible, that Zetterstedt's monostigma is identical with the present species, wiiich also was the opinion of Schiner, and Loew (1. c. 241) says the same. If so the present species goes towards the north to middle Sweden. Whether Meigen's ijrecatoria and monodigma belong to j^recatoria or stig- matica is, I think, not possible to decide after his descriptions; what he says about the colour points towards stigmatica. 3.
