Anastrepa pseudoparallela Loew? 



Trypeta (acrotoxa} Loew Mon. N. A. Dipt., Ill, 230, 1873. 

 One 9 Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana (Mayo) which is crushed 

 too much for certain identification. It may be fraterculus 

 Wied., but only the male has been described, and as this speci- 

 men agrees more with this species in regard to the length of 

 the ovipositor, I have so determined it.
