Wing as in Sarcophaga; third vein hairy; third 

 costal segment longer tlian fifth and sixth together. 



Hypopyginm inconspicuous, turned under the 

 abdomen. 



The type species is in habit, according to Ostcn 

 Sacken, the European analogue of our North Amer- 

 ican Screw- Worm Fly, Chri/somijia macellaria F., its 

 larva frequently getting into the sores of animals and 

 not rarely attacking man, in Eastern Europe. 



Table of Species. — Males. 

 W^estern species, the abdomen mostly pollinose, 

 its black spots small 



No. 2. meigenii Schiner. 

 Eastern species, the black spots large and con- 

 fluent, the pollinose part not very conspicu- 

 ous No. 3. vigil Walk. 

 Several other species assigned to Paraphyto by 

 Coquillett do not belong to Wohlf ahrtia ; the types 

 appeared to the writer to belong to Dexiid genera, 

 hence are not further considered here. But the type 

 of Paraphyto undoubtedly belongs to Wohlf ahrtia.
