now go under Terellia Desv. (1830), with Musca serratulae 

 Linn, (i 7 38) = (Terellia palpata and T. luteola Desv.) as the 

 type species, designated by Coquillett (1910). 



Mr. Coquillett in his Type Species of North American Gen- 

 era, makes Oedaspis Lw. (1862) a synonym of Orellia Desv. 

 (1830). For the former he designates Trypeta multifasciata 

 Lw. (1850) ; for the latter Trypeta -uriedemanni Meig. (1826) 

 (as Orellia flavicans new species). The two species are evi- 

 dently not congeneric, so Oedaspis may stand for our species as 

 given in Aldrich's catalogue. 



Paracantha Coq. (1899). 



This was proposed for Trypeta cult a Lw. Wied. (1830) as 

 distinct from Carphotricha Lw. (1862). There were three 

 species originally included under Carphotricha, two of which 

 were designated type species of two genera by Rondani in 1856, 

 Trypeta guttitlaris Meig. (1826) type of Dithryca Rond. and 

 Trupanea reticulata Schrank (1803) [as Tephritis pupillata 

 Fall (1814)] type of Oplochetd Rond. This leaves only C. 

 strigilata Lw. (1862) for its type species. Should this species 

 be congeneric with one of the other two, then Carphotricha will 

 have to fall. As regards Paracantha, there is a probability 

 of its being a synonym of Oplochcta Rond., but my study of 

 Trupanea reticulata is limited to one more or less imperfect 

 specimen. As I am not aware that the type species of Carpho- 







tricha Lw. has ever been fixed, I herewith designate Carpho- 

 tricha strigilata Loew as such. 



Tephritis Latreille. 



This genus was first proposed by Latreille in the "Nouveau 

 Dictionna'ire d'Histoire Naturelle, Tome XXIV, Tableaux 

 Methodiques," dated "AN XII 1804," page 196, No. 585. The 

 species mentioned under this reference are: Musca arnica and 

 Musca cerasi Fab. These two species are credited to Linn, by 

 Fabricius in his Entomologica Systematica, iv, pp. 352 and 358. 

 Therefore one of these species is the only one available as the 

 type species of this genus. Coquillett in 1910 quotes the genus as 

 dating from the "Histoire Naturelle des Crustaces et Insectes
