SARCOPHAGA AND ALLIES 205 



National Museum. The female of this species differs 

 from the numerous allied forms principally in hav- 

 only a single row of black hairs behind the eye. This, 

 with the reduction of the ps dc, the general light 

 color, the long third costal segment, with the front 

 narrowing toward the vertex, will easily distinguish 

 the species in the female sex. 



I am indebted to Mr. Parker for the identifica- 

 tion of this European species. 



The species is omitted from the Zoological Rec- 

 ord and the International Catalogue of Scientific 

 Literature, no doubt on account of the fact that "n. 

 sp." was accidentally left out after the name, in the 

 original description. 



Boettcher indicates (loc. cit.) that part of Schin- 

 er's types of Sarcophaga dalmatina (Fauna Austi., i, 

 571, 1862) are this species. He does not explain his 

 preference for the later name, but I deem it best to 

 leave the European nomenclature in the hands of 

 Europeans. 



Type.^ — In the collection of Dr. J. Villeneuve, 

 Rambouillet, France.
