Dcsvoidy distributed among his genera Pulishjiloi and Jfi/nihcoini/in: ^Ir. ^Macquart has established for Ihem the genus ^/i'r (better Mit^vhorjadcr), which coincides with the genus Coimi)- sidcn, introduced by him at a later time. The two Ortalis of Wiedemann, the systematic position of which .seems doubtful to me, are Orialis trifanLUtla and att,. mariii, both from Urazil, both closely related to each other, and somewhat reminding, in their general appearance, of Uiilmnlui and Iilifipalonwra. IJolh havo an erect bristle bi'fore the end of the tibia;, which I cannot take for anything else but the pneapi- cul bristle, wanting in all the Ortalidne. Considering the ini[)or- tance which the ])resence or absence of this Ijrislle has in the classification of all the JJiplera ardh/plira, I wonlil Ijc very much inclined to exclude both of those species from the family Ortdlidit, if i could assign them a fitting jdace in some other fuMiilv. The structure of the oviixjsitor clearlv proves that thcv belong in the circle of the Diptcra acipliorea, but even in this wider circl
