are completely united above, while in hakerl they are deeply divided 

 on the middle line; this of course does not show in side view, but 

 is striking in the longitudinal. I have seen no other specimens. 

 Length 6.6 mm. 



SPECIES OF THOMSON 



IN EUGENIES RESA, 1869 



Sarcophaga occipitalis^ p. 532. 



One female, Callao, Peru. The species was described as Sarco- 

 phaga auribarbata by Townsend,-* and later more fully by me as 

 Sarcophaga cotyledonea in Sarcophaga and Allies (1916, p. 187, fig.) 

 It is known to occur in Peru, Brazil, British Guiana, and Guatemala. 

 Townsend has asserted ^^ that only the female of my cotyledonea 

 belongs here, the true male of the species being my capitata (1916, 

 p. 209). I do not agree with his opinion. 



Sarcophaga harhata, p. 533. 



One female, Honolulu, This is the same species which was de- 

 scribed as Sarcophaga falculata by Pandelle,-^ and which occurs not 

 only in Europe, but in Northern India and widely throughout North 

 America. In 1917 I received Hawaiian material in both sexes from 

 Doctor Illingworth which convinced me of this synonymy, but have 

 withheld publication until Thompson's type could be seen. It is 

 what I supposed. Senior- White -^ refers to this as " Parker's 

 synonymy," but I believe it must have been communicated in cor- 

 respondence, as I can not find that Parker ever published it. From 

 the excellent figure, I believe that the same species was described as 

 Sarcophaga argentina by Brethes -^ ; he cites also some references 

 to the same species as nurus Rondani, from Argentina. 



Sarcophaga dux, p. 534. 



One male, Honolulu. As I expected, this is the same as Sarcophaga 

 harpax Boettcher ^^ I had received both sexes from Honolulu in 1917 

 from Doctor Illingworth, which convinced me of the synonymy. 

 Parker has announced the same conclusion.^" I did not spread the 

 genitalia of the Thomson type, but have other males from Honolulu 

 in the National Museum which have been spread. 



Sarcophaga paUinervis, p. 535. 



One male, one female. Undoubtedly the same as Sarcophaga com- 

 munis Parker, 1914. The oldest name for the species which I found
