Sarcophaga micro'pyga^ p. 279. 



Six males. One I exclude as a different species, restricting the 

 species to the other five. A species of Notochaeta^ to be considered 

 in a later paper. 



Sarcofhaga claripalpis, p. 280. 



One male, four females. One female I exclude, a species of Sar- 

 cophaga; the remainder do not belong to the Sarcophagidae, but are 

 the species described by Townsend as Paratheresia signifera.^^ I 

 have discussed the habits, distribution, and in part the synonomy, 

 under Townsend's name.^^ 



Sarcophaga sueta^ p. 281 



Three males, of which I spread two. It is the same species which 

 I described later as Sarcophaga communis^ var. ochracea?"^ Hall 

 recognized it as a distinct species under the name Sarcophaga 

 ochraceaJ"^ 



Scurcophaga tridens^ p. 281. 



Six males, one female. The males are the same as uiicata Van der 

 Wulp. I spread four, the two unspread males and the female are 

 apparently the same. 



Sarcophaga deleta^ p. 282. 



One male, new to me. Dorsocentral three, first vein bare, genital 

 segments red, hind tibiae not villous; anterior acrostichals well de- 

 veloped; an apical scutellar on one side, none on the other; middle 

 tibia with one bristle on outer front side. Genitalia (fig. 13) very 

 characteristic ; the forceps black, divergent, strongly curved forward, 

 with a black lateral process near base, and a row of backwardly 

 directed stiff spines at the basal limit of the black part; a similar 

 tuft standing out from the tip of the lateral process. 



Sarcophaga tenuiventi^^ p. 282. 



Two males. The same as ventricosa Van der Wulp (p. 274) 

 {assidua Aldrich, not Walker). 



Saracophaga oherrans, p. 283. 



One male, two females. Both females belong to Notochaeta viicro- 

 pyga and I exclude them, restricting the species to the male. It be- 

 longs to the Acridiophaga group, but seems distinct from those de- 

 scribed by me. The forceps are as in marginata^ but the penis in its 

 last joint has no appreciable side pieces at all, being in the form of 

 a tapering tube with slight lateral protuberances. Dorsocentrals four, 



sojourn. New York Ent. Soc, vol. 23, 1915, p. 65.
