Sarcophaga georgina^ p. 357. 



I received from the Vienna Museum three supposed types, which 

 had been previously seen and reported upon by Bottcher, in Deutsche 

 Entomologische Zeitschrift (1913, page 369), where he asserts that 

 georgina is the same as haemoi^Ji oidalis Meigen. The specimens sent 

 me were two males which Bottcher had labeled haemorrhoidalis^ one 

 being from Mexico and the other without locality; and one female 

 from New York, which Bottcher had correctly labeled as falculata 

 Pandelle. But Wiedemann's description is distinctly based on a 

 female from Savannah, which apparently no one has seen since. I 

 reported briefly on the specimens sent me, in Annals Entomological 

 Society of America, (vol. 17, 1924, p. 210) but erroneously men- 

 tioned them as four in number. It is probably best to regard the 

 species as a synonym of haemorrhoidalis, at least nothing else can 

 be made of it. 



Sarcophaga rubella., p. 357. 



Male, Antigua. I saw the type in the Zoological Museum, Copen- 

 hagen. The red color seemed to me to be the result of long exposure 

 to light. As I could not spread the genitalia, I made out little else. 



Sarcophaga chlorogaster^ p. 359. 



Male and female, from Montevideo and La Plata. The types have 

 apparently not been examined and may be lost; the species is, how- 

 ever, well known from the recognizable description, and is the type 

 of the genus Sarconesia Bigot. See Shannon, Proceedings Entomo- 

 logical Society of Washington (vol. 28, 1926, p. 122), where it is 

 placed in the Calliphoridae. 



Sarcophaga plinthopyga, p. 360. 



Male, St. Thomas, West Indies. I have discussed the type in 

 Annals Entomological Society of America (vol. 17, 1924, p. 210) ; 

 I had previously redescribed the species under the name robusta in 

 Sarcophaga and Allies (1916, p. 207, fig.). 



/Sarcophaga diniidiata, p. 360. 



Three males so labeled from the Vienna Museum, '• Brasilien. 

 Coll. Winthem." They represent three species, one being an un- 

 determined Sarcophaga, one N otochaeta cognata Walker, and the 

 other also a species of N otochaeta. This last is the only one of the 

 three which has the dark spot between the antennae and orbit which 

 is prominently mentioned by Wiedemann, hence I accept it as type. 

 I refer it to N otochaeta largely on account of the genitalia and of 

 the presence of hairs on the propleura — the last being a character 

 I noted only in August, 1930, in the type species — too late, unfortu- 

 nately, to apply it in examining most of the types.
