GASTROPHILUS EPILEPSALIS, French. 



BY F. L. WASHBURN, ST. ANTHONY PARK, MINN. 



Dr. Burnside Foster, of St. Paul, a short time since sent me three 

 Dipterous larvae taken from the cutaneous tissue of a three-weeks- 

 old infant, born on tlie seventh month, at Superior, Wisconsin. I at 

 first thought the insect to be Lucilia, but being in doubt, and having no 

 biological collection in this group for reference, I immediately sent it to 

 Washington, receiving a telegram in reply that Mr. Coquillett had 

 identified it as Gastrophilus epilepsalis. 



In view of Prof. French's description of the type on page 263, Vol. 

 32, of this journal, taken with his account of the medical aspects of the 

 case described, and in view also of Prof. Aldrich's objection to the 

 nomenclature, page 318, op. cit., I regard this as an interesting find. Dr. 

 Foster states that two of these maggots were from the neck, one from the 

 palm of the hand and one from between the great toe and second toe on 

 right foot, all of them in pustules similar to those made by some others 

 of this genus. The child had been sleeping out of doors considerably 

 during the daytime. The doctor proposes to write an account of the 

 case in the forthcoming number of the St. Paul Medical Journal, of 

 which he is editor.
