ART. 12 THE FLY GENUS SARCOPHAGA ALDRICH 11 



Sdrcophaga comta^ p. 365. 



Male. — Brazil. Not seen, perhaps not now in Vienna Museum. 

 The description contains several good points — the pollen of the head 

 is white or silvery, except that of cheek, which is almost golden; 

 abdomen reddish, venter yellowish-red, with yellowish hairs. 

 Length 7 mm. A specimen from Vienna labeled " comtae vicina " is 

 Paratheresia daripalpis, but this can hardly be correct, as comta 

 has black palpi. 



Sarcophaga phoenicurus, p. 365. 



Female. — Brazil, in Frankfort Museum. The single type is still 

 preserved, as I am informed by Dr. Elle Franz, in the Senckenberg 

 Museum. It has not been seen. 



Sarcophaga lariibens., p. 365. 



Two males and six females received from the Vienna Museum, 

 " Brasilien. Coll. Winthem." All are the same species and appar- 

 ently of the type series. Some of the types were said to be in the 

 Copenhagen Museum, where I did not see them, as I examined only 

 the Fabrician types there. The series belongs to the very common 

 tropical species described by Townsend as Sarcodexia sternodontis 

 in the Journal of the Institute of Jamaica (vol. 1, 1892, p. 106). 

 According to a manuscript note from Doctor Townsend, the species 

 was also described as Gricohrachia anisitsiana by Enderlein, in the 

 Archiv fiir Klassifikatorische und Phylogenetische Entomologie 

 (vol. 1, 1928, p. 19), from Paraguay. Townsend saw the Enderlein 

 type. I have discussed the species in Sarcophaga and Allies (1916, 

 p. 265), with a figure of the genitalia; and more recently have 

 analyzed the numerous rearing records in the Journal of Economic 

 Entomology (vol. 20, 1927, p. 590). I referred the species to Sar- 

 cophaga in the articles. 



Three additional specimens, " Brasilien. Coll. Wiedem.," include 

 one of each sex of the species just mentioned, and one female of vaHa 

 Walker. 



Sarcophaga calida^ p. 366. 



Female. — Brazil. Not seen. One type is in the Senckenberg 

 Museum, Frankfort. Van der Wulp, in establishing the genus Sar- 

 cophagula (Tijdsch. v. Ent., vol. 30, 1887, p. 173), said that the 

 following Sarcophagas of Wiedemann apparently belong in it: 

 calida^ sui^inamensis, terJ7iinalis, amafa, sugens, ohsoJefa, and parvula. 

 Brauer and Bergenstamm referred all these species to Sarcophagula 

 without question in their Zweifliigler des Kaiserlichen Museums zu 

 Wien (j)t. 5, 1891, p. 414). As I have never made out more than 

 the one species occidua Fabricius as belonging to the genus, the
