in the collection of Bigot (now the property of Mr. J. E, Collin) 

 and in the Museum, meaning the Musee National d'Histoire Natu- 

 relle in Paris. Not all of these can now be found, as both collections 

 have suffered somewhat in the lapse of years.

Phrissopodia splendens Macquart. 



Macquart described two species of South American Calliphoridae 

 under this name. The first was in Dipteres Exotiques (vol. 2, pt. 3, 

 1843, p. 253 (sep., p. 96), pi. 11, fig. 3). It was said to be from 

 Africa, but one specimen was from Chile. The type was in the Paris 

 Museum, but seems to be lost now, as it was not found there by 

 Shannon nor by me. The description and figure leave little doubt 

 that the species is the same one which he described as CalUphora 

 cMlensis in the same work (p. 288 (sep., p. 131), pi. 16, fig. 1.) The 

 types were said to be in the Museum and in his own collection. No 

 specimens of chilensls are to be found in the Paris Museum, but in 

 the Bigot collection, now owned by Mr. Collin, I found a series with 

 a Macquart label, presumably the types of this species, as Bigot 

 had many of Macquart's types. It is the same species which Town- 

 send described as Sarconesiopsis caerulea in Insecutor Inscitiae Men- 

 struus (vol. 6, 1918, p. 156) from Peru. Shannon had made out this 

 synonymy from Macquart's description and Townsend's type, and 

 published it (Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Wash- 

 ington, vol. 28, 1926, p. 123). 



The second Phrissopodia splendens Macquart was published in 

 Dipteres Exotiques, Supplement 4, pt. 2, 1851, p. 204 (sep., p. 231), 

 from Cobija, Bolivia. The type is still in the Paris Museum, and 

 has been seen by Shannon and by me. Shannon erected the genus 

 Neta for this species, on the page of his work above cited. The spe- 

 cific name is antedated by Musca chilensis Walker in the Trans- 

 actions Linnean Society (vol. 17, 1837, p. 354). I saw the type 

 of this species in the British Museum. It is very striking species, 

 and there are other synonyms. 



Enderlein has proposed the new genus Callyntropus in Deutsche 

 Entomologische Zeitschrift (1930, p. 70), designating the first 

 splendida Macquart as type. He gives only a few words of descrip- 

 tion, but enough to show conclusively that he had before him the
