List of the Tachinidae (Diptera) of North Carolina. 



By C. S. BRIMLEY, Div. of Entomology, N. C. Dept. of 



Agriculture. 



The following list includes all those species of Tachinidae 

 which are known to us to have been recorded from North 

 Carolina. 



Most of them have been collected by members of the Ento- 

 mological Division of the State Department of Agriculture, 

 and the collector's initials follow the records attributed to 

 each. The names of those contributing to the list are Frank- 

 lin Sherman, Chief in Entomology for the last twenty years ; 

 G. M. Bentley, C. S. Brimley, J. E. Eckert, C. O. Houghton, 

 R. W. Leiby, C. L. Metcalf, Z. P. Metcalf, T. B. Mitchell, and 

 R. S. Woglum, his assistants at various periods. Other rec- 

 ords have been contributed by Mr. C. W. Johnson, of the Bos- 

 ton Society of Natural History, and some by Mr. Max Kisliuk, 

 Jr., now with the Federal Horticultural Board. 



The flies of this family have been identified for us in the 

 past by the late Mr. D. W. Coquillett, and by Professor O. A. 

 Johannsen, and more recently by Prof. J. M. Aldrich, to all 

 of whom our thanks are due. These gentlemen are respon- 

 sible for over three-fourths of the names on the list, while I 

 am accountable for the remainder, mostly conspicuous, well 

 defined forms. 



Several names in the list are given with the generic name 

 only or as near such a species. These were all given by Prof. 

 Aldrich as being probably new species. 



Undoubtedly the list is far from complete, and it is quite 

 likely that it is not wholly free from error, still we believe it 

 to be a creditable beginning.
