In Volume 69, Articles 9 and 11, of the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, R. C. Shannon has reviewed certain Syrphid genera. Apparently some of the synonymy cited is erroneous and I present some notes indicatating certain inconsistencies. It is well to point out that Shannon has not taken the trouble to examine types of species outside those found in the British Museum, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, and the United States National Museum. Had he done so I feel sure that his conclusions in some cases would have been different.

The following notes are based on the material in the Canadian National Collection and in the collections of the United States National Museum, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.In all of the three American species of Lyperopherus, the flattened side margins of the pronotum are gradually widened posteriorly to include the outer of the basal impressions. All are flightless and have the elytra widest slightly behind the middle.

This is a systematic account of the species of Chironomidae from Australia based mainly on collections in Australian museums, the British Museum, and the United States National Museum. One hundred and twenty-nine species are described, 69 of them new, and keys are given to subfamilies, genera, and species. The classification proposed by Brundin (1956) has been adopted; in this, the subfamilies Diamesinae, Clunioninae, and Corynoneurinae are treated as, at the most, tribes of the subfamily Orthocladiinae. Type specimens of species described by Macquart, Walker, and Skuse have been examined and the species redescribed and figured; an attempt has been made to identify Kieffer's species, the types of which are probably lost. Some account is given of the composition of the fauna, and the presence of an element in the more primitive genera similar to the fauna of the southern part of South America has been noted.

The Encyrtidae reported upon in this paper are mostly Coccid-inhabiting species, received by the Imperial Institute of Entomology from various collectors in Africa and forwarded by Dr. C. Ferrière for identification. The species of Microterys, Metaphycus, and Anicetus will be reported upon in separate papers at a later date, All holotypes and allotypes are deposited in the British Museum; paratypes will be deposited in the United States National Museum.

The following paper is intended only as a preliminary revision of this large and exceedingly important group of parasites, and it is the outcome of some six months' work on a small portion of the large mass of material awaiting identification in the collections of the British Museum and of the Imperial Bureau of Entomology. The writer not only has had access to all the types which he required to see that had been deposited in the British Museum, but also was so fortunate as to have been able to arrange with the authorities of both the United States National Museum and the National Hungarian Museum for exchanges of cotypes where sufficiently long series were available, and consequently has been able to examine and include in his key all, or the large majority of, the species that have been described from the Indo-Australian region by Continental and American writers. It should be placed on record that, in addition, the National Hungarian Museum, when not in a position to exchange cotypes, was so good as to forward to the writer on loan the types themselves. With all this extremely kind co-operation, therefore, it has been possible to make this paper tolerably complete; and for purposes of comparison it has been thought desirable to include in the key numerous Palaearctic and Ethiopian species, the types and cotypes of which are to be found in the British Museum.

This species, described by Mr. A. Busck, in the Proceedings of the United States National Museum, XXXVII., P. 746, 1904, paper No. 1375, is Sciaphila trigonana, Walsingham. [Lepidoptera-Heterocera British Museum, Part IV., p. 22, 1879; Dyar's Catalogue, No. 5413; Smith's List, 1903, 5831.] The species is well figured by Walsingham, Plate LXV., fig. 7.—

Insight Into

The opportunity to study some of de Koninck's (1883) type specimens from the Institut Royal de sciences Naturelle de Belgique (RMNS), specimens from the British Museum of Natural History (BMNH), and from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University (MCZ) has provided insight into the taxonomic relationships of some polyplacophoran taxa. It is evident that errors have occurred in relating various specimens to taxa which differ significantly. Two examples of this related to a Devonian species in Germany and a Permian species in the United States National Museum of Natural History (USNM) are clarified and illustrated.
