XVI.— NOTES ON ORIENTAL DIPTERA. III.— REVIEW OF THE ORIENTAL SPECIES OF SEPEDON LATR., WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES. ' fiy E. Brttnettt. Seven species of this genus were included in Van der Wulp's Catalogue (1896) of the Diptera of South Asia. Of these I believe I can identify four with specimens either in the Indian Museum collection or my own, and add two new ones taken by m3^self last year in Java. They all appear to be valid species and of four of them, plumbellus, aenescens^ ferruginosus and a new species sangui-nipes, I have examined a series of about a score of each. Two species I know from single specimens only {crishna Wlk. and fuscinervis mihi) and the remaining three I have not seen ; these being javanensis Rob. Des. (figured in Macquart's " Dipteres Exo-tiques "), costalis (i) Wlk., and costalis (2) Wlk., which latter, the name being preoccupied by the author himself in the same genus, I have renamed hatjanensis.
