Extract

On August 28, 1949, over beach drift and seaweed at Matane on the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, the writer collected a series of flies presumed to be Coelopa frigida (F.). Later examination revealed the capture of two males of Orygma luctuosa Meigen, a peculiar coelopid fly with small eyes, extremely broad cheeks, and broad, flat facial carina. Inasmuch as this European species had apparently been recorded only once before from North America, it seemed desirabie to place the find on record.
