Oestridae. The Bot Flies 



Cephenomyia Latreille 



Also spelled Cephalemyia, Cephalomyia, Cephenomyia, Cepiialonomyia 

 and Cephalonomia by various authors. 



C. sp. One of several pupal eases taken from the sinuses 

 of a deer in May, '44. The fly has never been seen here either 

 by Dr. Brower or the author, although most carefully 

 sought. The flies must be numerous. 



Tachinidae 



The Tachinids are, insofar as known, all parasitic on other 

 insects, and besides being most beneficial in keeping the 

 insect life in balance, are among the most interesting to collect 

 and study. While, of course, the usual methods of sweeping, 

 etc. are used in this family, I particularly recommend rear- 

 ing, for in that way one gets perfect specimens and complete 

 records.
