SARCOPHAGA AND AIJJES 39 



No. 8. Sarothromyia femoralis var. simplex n. var. 



Differs from the typical form only in having 

 plain front tibiie and tarsi in the male. The material 

 examined shows no intermediate forms. I cannot 

 separate the females, except by associating them with 

 males taken at the same time or place. 



Four males, three females, Miami, Florida, Nov. 

 8 (C. H. T. Townsend), in the National Museum; 

 one female, Ft. Worth, Fla., collected by Mrs. Slos- 

 son, probably belongs here. 



Holotype.— Male, No. 20,488, U. S. N. M. 



Allotype.— Female, No. 20,488, U. S. N. M. 



Genus SARCOPHAGULA Van der Wulp. 



Van der Wulp, Tijdsch. v. Ent., xxx, 173, 1887; Biologia, 

 Dipt., ii, 289, 1896. 



Brauer iind von Bergenstamm, Zweifl. d. Kais. Mus., vi. 

 164, 1893. 

 Front wide, about one-third the head in both 

 sexes, the middle stripe as wide as one side. Frontals 

 reduced to fovn- pairs, not divergent, the anterior a 

 little below the base of the antenna. One large or- 

 bital present in both sexes, the posterior frontal might 

 be considered a reclinate orbital, as it is far from the 

 next frontal and much closer to the orbit. Outer 

 vertical present in both sexes. Parafacial narrow, 

 with a single row of minute hairs. Antennae as in 

 Sarcophaga, but the third joint only twice the sec- 

 ond; arista long-plumose on basal lialf, the last joint 

 much thickened at its base. Vibrissa? not approx- 

 imated, almost at oral margin. 



Fourth vein with roimded, oblique angle, the 

 first posterior cell open a little before the apex ; third 

 costal segment very short ; hind crossvein rather erect, 

 usually at about the middle between the anterior 

 crossvein and the bend. 



Type of genus, Sarcopliaga occidua Fabricius, 

 by designation of Coquillett, Proc. U. S. N. M., 

 x'xxvii, 602, 1910.
