species listed are quite likely all synonyms; this is true of parvula 

 and sugens, the only ones I have seen. 



/Sarcophaga surinamensis, p. 366. 



Female and male. — Surinam, in the Senckenberg Museum, Frank- 

 fort; one type reported to be still preserved there. Not seen; see 

 note under callda. 



SarcopJiaga tei^ninalis^ p. 366. 



Male. — Brazil. Not seen, and apparently no longer preserved 

 in the Vienna Museum. See note under calida. 



Sarcophaga amata, p. 367. 



Male. — Brazil. Not seen, and presumably not now in the Vienna 

 Museum. See note under calida. 



Sarcophaga sugens, p. 367. 



Female. — Brazil. Eleven specimens so named were received from 

 the Vienna Museum as types. They are labeled " Brasilien. Coll. 

 Winthem." Of these one male and five females, to which I restrict 

 the species, are /Sarcophagula occidua Fabricius, a common tropical 

 American species. Of the others, four are Johnsonia setosa Aldrich, 

 They can hardly have been a part of the original series, which w^a» 

 said to be females, while these are easily recognized as males. The 

 other specimen, a female, is Sarcophaga rapax Walker, or a closely 

 related species. See note under calida. 



Sarcophaga ohsoleta, p. 367. 



Described from one female, West Indies. Not seen, apparently 

 not now in Vienna Museum. See note to calida. 



Sarcophaga parvula^ p. 368. 



One male from the Vienna Museum, " Brasilien," agreeing with 

 the description, in which the sex was not stated. Equals Sarcoplia- 

 gula occidua Fabricius, as expected. See note under calida. 



SPECIES OF ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY 



All described in Essai sur les Myodaires, 1830. A few of the 

 descriptions sa}^ that the specimen is in the Museum, meaning the 

 Musee National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. These types are 

 mostly still in existence. Bigot obtained a few named specimens 

 from Robineau, perhaps types, and several with labels in the hand- 

 writing of the latter are now in the collection of Mr. Collin, which 

 includes that of Bigot. I do not know of any other Robineau 

 material now in existence.
