^KT. 12 THE FLY GENUS SARCOPHAGA ALDRICH 29 



Sarcophaga hrew'spina, p. 539. 



One female, Rio Janeiro. A synonym of Sarothromyia fevioralis 

 Schiner,^^ which was described as a Sarcophila. 



■Sarcophaga genalis^ p. 539. 



One female, Brazil. Very nearly identical with Sarcophaga rapax 

 Walker {helicis Townsend) of North America; I could not quite 

 assert that it is the same, not having a male type, and no identified 

 specimens to compare. S. rapax has priority, and it would be best to 

 regard this as a synonym, at least until males from Brazil are 

 found which show differences. 



'Sarcophaga despecta, p. 540. 



One male, Puna (an island in the Gulf of Guayaquil) ; three 

 females from Panama are different, two of them being Sarcopha- 

 gula occidua Fabricius, the other, mentioned as a variety by Thom- 

 son, having a closed apical and possibly not the same. The male 

 is not in good condition and I could make nothing tangible out of 

 it. In order to dispose of the species, I restrict it to the two females 

 which are the same as occidua.

-Sarcophaga viUipes, p. 269, pi. 7, fig. 2. 



One male, three females. This species was described as Sahinata 

 ■catalina by Parker.*° Types of catalina are in the National Mu- 

 seum, and I had a spread authentic specimen with me and compared 

 it with the spread male type. I misidentified villipes in Sarcophaga 

 and Allies, (1916, p. 178) ; suspecting this, Townsend proposed the 

 name knahi., new species for my specimens.^^ 



Sarcophaga iiifitih'm., p. 270, pi. 7, fig. 3. 



Four males. I renamed this species as Sthenopyga glohosa in 

 Sarcophaga and Allies (1916, p. 59). It is the type species of 

 Sthenopyga^ and does not belong to Sarcophaga. 



'Sarcophaga vagdbunda^ p. 270, pi. 7, fig. 4. 



Twelve specimens of both sexes, I exclude one female, which is 

 helicis Townsend, and the rest are all stirrmlans Walker {quadrisetosa 

 Coquillett). 



Sarcophaga acanthoptera^ p. 271, pi. 7, fig. 5. 



One male, three females. Allied to helicis, having the first vein 

 hairy and three dorsocentrals.
