NOTATA FROM THE BRITISH LIST Andrew Godfrey Ecosurveys Ltd, Priory Lodge, Hagnaby, Spilsby, Lincolnshire PE23 4BP. Whilst identifying Diptera from Jersey collected by Walter Le Quesne, I came across a specimen that keyed out to H. notata using the standard work of Collin (1948). On checking the identification using the more recent key of Papp (1979), who has revised the species allied to notata, the specimen keyed out to H. subnotata Papp. Subsequent checking of British material has confirmed the misidentification of H. notata for H. subnotata. H. notata was not found in checking British collections and it is therefore proposed that it is removed from the British list. The two species can easily be separated on the extent of anteroventral bristles on the hind femora. In H. notata these extend the length of the femora (Fig. 1), whereas in H. subnotata they are restricted to the middle part (Fig. 2). Differences in the male genitalia are described and illustrated by Papp (1979). In sorting out the confusion that exists in the group, use was made of specimens in the Natural History Museum, London. Specimens of H. notata were found to comprise H. subnotata and a third number of the group H. maghrebi as well as H. notata. These have been correctly labelled and the records given here. Some of these are new country records. In addition I have added additional Continental records of species referred to or communicated to me. H. subnotata is known from France, East Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy and Czechoslovakia. Oelerich (1988) recently recorded H. subnotata from the Friesian island of Memmert off the German/Dutch coast. Remm & Elberg's (1979) figures of male notata (figures 7a and 7b) are, in fact, of subnotata. Specimens in Remm & Elberg's paper are with
