Sarcophaga violenta, p. 826. 



One male, Galapagos Islands. Townsend described this species 

 as Gigantotheca galapageiisis, new genus and species.^^ I compared 

 the spread genitalia with those of a Townsend paratype. The ac- 

 companying sketches (fig. 2) were made from the Walker type. 

 Head of common Sarcophaga type, the frontal rows diverging 

 below; acrostichals represented by only a small prescutellar pair; 

 posterior dorsocentrals only two far back, the hindmost largest; 

 no marginals on first and second abdominal segments, a row on 

 third. Second genital segment red, the first blackish and bearing 

 a row of six stout bristles on hind margin. Fifth sternite deeply 

 excised as usual, at the bottom of the excision a pair of small pro- 

 tuberances, each with a dense brush of very short, stubby black 

 spines. Genitalia as figured. The forceps are very wide at base, 

 red in color, becoming black about the middle. Viewed from be- 

 hind they are almost contiguous for some distance, then suddenly 

 spread apart and are parallel to the tips; the contiguous portion is 

 covered behind with fine yellow hair, beyond which are the black 

 bristles shown in the figure. The penis has two median ]3rocesses 

 on the anterior side, the first black, the second yellow ; its tip spreads 

 out in a thin membrane, not well shown in the figure, or better 

 spread out in the Townsend type. The restricted occurrence and 

 the additional characters given by Walker and Townsend should 

 make this easily recognizable. 



Sarcophaga vigil,, p. 831. 



One male, Nova Scotia. Type not found in the British Museum,. 

 but the color pattern is so striking that it could hardly be any 

 other species than the one indicated by me in Sarcophaga and Allies 

 (1916, p. 29) , in the genus Wohlfahrtia. 



Sarcophaga inoa, p. 832. 



One female, Galapagos Islands. I did not see the type, but Aus- 

 ten has published notes on it.^^ He refers it to Brauer and Ber- 

 genstamm's " Section Paramacronychia," quite distinct from 

 Sarcophaga. 



Sarcophaga anaces, p. 833. 



One male, "North America?" Runs to melampyga in Sarco- 

 phaga and Allies (1916, p. 107), and agrees in most details, includ- 

 ing the erect bristles of the second genital segment, absence of comb 

 on middle femur, etc. ; it differs, however, in not having the striking 

 patches of whitish hair on the sides of the scutellum, in having a 

 complete row of marginals on the third abdominal segment, a large
