Oppiopsis sheldoni Coq. Synonym, Harbeckia tessellata Aid., op. 

 cit., genus and species. 



Wohlfahrtia opaca Coq. -I consider this species distinct from the 

 European meigenii Schiner, which it represents in western America. It 

 furnishes another example of west American species closely resembling 

 European congeners. Synonym, Wohlfahrtia meigenii Aid. (nee Schiner), 

 op. cit. 



Wohl "ahrtia chittendeni Coqi This is evidently distinct from vigil 

 Walker. The holotype has red hypopygium and the other characters do 

 not accord. 



Paraphrissopoda lamanensis RD. 'Synonym, Sarcophaga wiedemanni 

 Aid., op. cit., 193-6. 



Paraphrissopoda auribarbata Towns. 'Synonym, Sarcophaga coty- 

 ledonea Aid., op. cit., female only. Aldrich's allotype is identical in every 

 character with the holotype of auribarbata. Aldrich's holotype is evidently 

 specifically distinct from the allotype, as it does not agree in various 

 characters. The holotype may be conspecific with circumcisa Rdi., or 

 chrysostoma Wied. It is evidently not otiosa Willist., which, like auri- 

 barbata, has the first hypopygial segment red. 



A male from Mayaguez, Porto Rico, October 31, 1913 (Van Zwaluwen- 

 burg), agrees exactly in pollen, pile color and bristle characters with the 

 females from Peru. The species is distinct from otiosa, which has the 

 abdomen bluish silvery-white pollinose. Synonym, Sarcophaga capitata 

 Aid., op. cit., male only, being the hblotype. 



Paraphrissopoda otiosa Willist. I determine a male from Barbados 

 as this species. The cotype specimens, male and female, studied by 

 Aldrich, may not be the same form as the holotype. It seems very doubt- 

 ful if the females mentioned by Williston under concinnata are this species. 

 Sarcophaga amoena Aid., op. cit., is very likely this species. Sarcophaga 

 capitata Aid., female, allotype, is same as amoena allotype. 



Paraphrissopoda hillifera Aid. 'The three females referred to spec- 

 tabilis Aid., op. cit., are this species. The chaetotaxy of anal segment 

 shows this. They are TD 1246, 1289, etc.. 



Oxysarcodexia ochripyga Wulp 'Synonym, Sarcophaga australis Aid., 

 op. cit. 



Argoravinia argentea Towns. 'Synonym, Sarcophaga fissa Aid., op. cit. 



Spirobolomyia basalis Walker 'It is almost certain that singularis 

 Aid. is a synonym of this species. The peculiar color characters given by 

 Walker seem to fix the determination. 



Sarcophagula occidua F. ! am unable to identify Tachinn pusilla 

 Wied., type of Sarcophilodes BB., as distinct from occiilua. Wiedemann's 

 description agrees exactly with material. 



Protodexia hunteri Hough Synonym, P. synthcllca Towns. 



Euphyto subopaca Coq. 'Described as Leucostoma subopaca, 1897. 

 Made type of Euphyto Towns., 1908. Synonym, 7Y//v<;w.v moilcxlu Coq., 

 1910, genus and species.
