H. 456, collected in 1891. Closely allied to the living R. punclatus, Fab., with which it agrees in the position of the discal and lower cross-veins ; in R. pulchricornis, Brunetti, these are nearly equally distant from the base of the discal cell. It is also closely similar to R. distinctus, Brunetti. Fie. Rhyphus hooleyi, sp. u. An imperfect specimen, In. 17136 (A'Court Smith), with reverse (Brodie collection), has the spots darker, but seems to belong to the same species. It has a distinct spot in the base of the submarginal cell, and the veins at the end of the second basal are surrounded by a cloud. There are also dark clouds along the lower division of fifth and the sixth vein. Experience has shown that the depth of colour and distinctness of the spots in such insects differ according to the exact conditions of preservation. I collected the living R. punctatus, Fb. (det. F. W. Edwards), at Gurnet Bay, October 7. Bibionidse. Plecia acourti, sp. n. (Fig. 28.) Head small; thorax small and narrow. Dark fuscous, the Fur.
