158 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



of supporting characters, the subfamiHes and tribes of Sarco- 

 phagidae may be separated as follows : 



1. Vibrissal axis closely approximating antennal axis in length ; clypeus 

 depressed, the epistoma warped forward from plane of clypeus, 



the face dished (Sarcophaginae) 2 



Vibrissal axis usually shorter than antennal axis ; clypeus not de- 

 pressed, the epistoma not appreciably warped, face not conspicu- 

 ously dished ( Amobiinse) 3 



3. Clypeus broad and more or less elongate; facialia more or less 

 flattened, but always showing a distinct convexity zmd thus con- 

 trasted with clypeus, leaving a distinct foveal sinus along their 



inner edge Sarcophagini 



Clypeus very broad and usually shortened ; facialia flattened as 

 though ironed out, their plane gradually warped out and forward 

 from plane of clypeus, leaving no marked foveal sinus, or if sinus 



is distinct the facialia show no convexity Brachicomini 



3. Clypeus narrowed and elongate; facialia showing convexity, 



Amobiini 

 Clypeus broad anJ shortened ; facialia showing no convexity, appear- 

 ing ironed out, but their plane nearly in plane of clypeus and with 

 a foveal sinus along their inner edge Tephromyiini 



The genera of Sarcophagini are treated in another paper 

 (Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash.). 



The genera of Brachicomini are : Brachicoma Rdi., Bubra- 

 chycoma T., Punaphyto T., Microccrella Mcq., Disjimctio 

 Pand., Wohlfahrtia BB., Euparaphyto T., Melanophyto T., 

 Picrretia RD., Hartigia RD. Despite its anomalous female 

 reproductive characters, Burychoeta BB. (Helicobosca Bezzi) 

 comes here on external adult characters. 



The genera of Amobiini are : Amobia RD., Amobiopsis T., 

 Macronichia Rdi., Paramacronychia BB., Dolichamobia T., 

 Cistiidinomyia T., Metoposarcophaga T., Raimondia T., Bm- 

 blemaso:ua Aid., Harpagopyga Aid., Glaucosarcophaga T., 

 Acridiophaga T., Blaesoxipha Lw^, Johnsonia Coq., Rafaelia 

 T., Neophyto T., Camptops Aid., Oppiopsis T. (syn. Harbeckia 

 Aid.), Xcnoppia T. (syn. Camptopyga Aid.) , Notochaeta Aid., 

 Sther.opyga Aid.. Angiometopa BB., Dexosarcophaga T., 

 Chloronesia T. To these may be added the following new 

 genera :
