SARCOPHAGA AND ALLIES 161 



Numerous specimens, La Fayette, Ind., bred by 

 J. J. Davis from larvae of the Army Worm collected 

 in eastern Michigan; issued June 7, 1915. Some were 

 from cages in which care had been taken to introduce 

 only living caterpillars (Aldrich, Journal of Eco- 

 nomic Entomology, viii, 244) ; Mr. Davis, however, 

 expressed some doubt to me later about the exclusion 

 of all uncertainty in this case. 



One male, three females, Belleville, Kan., reared 

 from Eleodes o])aca by W. E. Pennington (Webster 

 No. 13510). 



One female, Enola, Va., reared from SiJaraholus 

 sp. (a Myriapod), by Sara Reynolds. 



Type. — Female, in University of Kansas. 



Sarcophaga amblycoryphae Coq, 



Coquillett, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., vi, 187, 1904, female 

 only. 



The species was described from a single female, 

 bred by Dr. George Dimmock, at Springfield, Mass., 

 from "a living adult of Amhlycorypha ohlongifolia/' 

 In the Hough collection I found a female from 

 Jamesburg, N. J., which on comparison with the type 

 in the National Museum appeared to be identical and 

 is so labeled ; no males have been found which can be 

 determined as the same species, hence it is impos- 

 sible to say positively whether the species would be 

 correctly located in Group B or Group D. As my 

 female shows a rudimentary larvipositor, the latter al- 

 ternative is very likely the correct one. The com- 

 parison with the type having been made some time 

 ago, I dare not press it too far in announcing minute 

 characters from my specimen; so I will only add to 

 the original description that the anterior acrostichals 

 are well developed. Until a corresponding male is 

 found the species cannot be satisfactorily known. The 

 habit, however, was worth noting, and probably justi- 

 fies the description of the species from the female. 



Holotype.— Female, No. 7963, U. S. N. M.
