Notes ox Other Genera 



Microchatina Van der Wulp, Biologia, Dipt., ii. 

 24-0, 1891, is a Dexiid, as stated by the describer. 

 Braiier and von Bergenstamm placed it with their 

 Sarcophagida?, and their arrangement was followed 

 by the w^riter in his 190.5 Catalogue. Adams, however, 

 in Williston's Manual, 1908, properly replaced the 

 genus in Dexiida?. 



ParamiutJio Van der Wulp (ibid., 20.5) is also a 

 Dexiid, from its very small antenuce, and discal ma- 

 crochastse on segments 2-4 of the abdomen. 



Qnesia Desv. This European genus w^as reported 

 from Mexico City by Van der Wulp (O. lucilioides , 

 ibid., 288, pi. vii, f. 11). The genus is close to Cyn- 

 omyia, and from its bright metallic green coloration 

 is readily distinguished from the group treated in the 

 present paper. 



Hesperomijia Brauer und von Bergenstamm, 

 Zweifl, Kais. Mus., iv, 114, 1889; v, 359, 1891 ; vi, 102, 

 1893. One species, crythrocera, from Texas (ibid.). 

 The genus is allied to Senotainia, but has the first 

 posterior cell closed and ])etiolate; it does not come 

 within the scoj^e of the present paper. The arista is 

 almost bare. 



Erythraiulra Brauer und von Bergenstamm, 

 ibid., V, 308, 1891; vi, 105, 1893; one species, picipcs, 

 from Georgia, U. S. A. The principal characters 

 given are as follows: Parafacials with only very deli- 

 cate hairs ; arista pubescent, or at base short-plumose : 

 no costal spine; first posterior cell open; male without 

 orbitals; third antennal joint 2-2% times the second; 

 bucca wide; front of male very narrow; vibrisstT a 

 little approximated. From the data given, I am un- 

 able to distinguish the species, but it would proba])ly 

 fall within the genus Sarcophaga as here accepted.
