FLIES OF THE FAMILY CONOPIDAE 

 FROM EASTERN ASIA 



By Sidney Camras 



This paper is based mainly on specimens in the U.S. National 

 Museum, particularly the collections of D. C. Graham in Szechwan, 

 and T. D. A. Cockerell in Eastern Siberia. Only a few species of 

 Conopidae have been recorded from Szechwan and Western China, but 

 the material from better collected areas has yielded many important 

 records. It has therefore been deemed worth while to list all the 

 specimens examined. 



This study has been especially aided by the interest and courtesy 

 of C. W. Sabrosky, U.S. Department of Agriculture, who, besides 

 arranging the loans of material, provided information on types in 

 the Krober Collection at the U.S. National Museum. Dr. R. 

 Kano, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, has been most 

 helpful by providing information and copies of Matsumura's works, 

 and also some Japanese Conopidae. Dr. C. H. Curran loaned a 

 small collection of the American Museum of Natural History with 

 some very significant specimens.
