118 INSECUTOR INSClTL^i MENSTRUUS 



Cynomyopsis, new genus. 



Genotype, Cyfioinya cadaverina R. D., 1830, Myod., 365, 

 Hind tegulae hairy in both sexes. Front femora swollen in both 

 sexes in the genotype, but only in the male in certain closely 

 allied species. Abdomen subpointed anally in both sexes, usu- 

 ally more so in the male. Male with legs and body not long- 

 hairy, the femora without thick hair-brushes, femora and 

 tibial not bowed ; second hypopygial segment short, not over 

 ivncQ. the first, hypopygium prominent and conspicuous ; 

 forceps elongate and enlarged. 



To this genus must be referred Calliphora texensis Town- 

 send, C. popoffana Townsend, and Cynomya elongata Hough, 

 all of which liave the front femora swollen in male but not in 

 female. 



Cynomya R. D. — Hind tegula:^ hairy in both sexes. Front 

 femora slightly swollen in female, considerably so in male. 

 Male with legs and body long-hairy, femora with hair-brushes 

 but tibi?e without, none of femora or tibiae bowed, hind and 

 middle femora a little swollen ; second hypopygial segment much 

 enlarged and elongated, normally nearly or quite three-fourths 

 the length of middle femora, the hypopygium thus being 

 especially massive and conspicuously developed ; forceps ex- 

 tremely elongate and heavy, nearly as long as middle femora. 



Peckia R. D. — Hind teguhe bare in both sexes. Femora of 

 female hardly swollen. Male femora greatly swollen, the hind 

 pair especially so ; hind tibiae and hind femora strongly bowed, 

 front metatarsi more or less bowed ; both femora and tibiae 

 with thick hair-brushes ; second hypopygial segment short. 

 Phrissopodia Mcq. has same genotype and is thus a synonym. 



This genus belongs with Cynomya in the Muscidse (Cal- 

 liphoridae). The frontal and facial characters show this re- 

 lationship conclusively. The following Sarcophagid form is 

 here defined to distinguish it from Peckia, with which it has 

 been confused : 



Paraphrissopoda, new genus. 



Genotype, Peckia lamanensis R. D., 1830, Myod., 335-6. 

 Hind tegulse bare in both sexes. Male with all femora swollen.
