No. 109. Sarcophaga tuberosa var, 

 exuberans Pand. 



Pandelle, Rev. ent., xv, i86. — Europe. 

 Bottcher, Deutsche Ent. Zeitsch., 1912, 735 (as var. of 

 tuberosa Pand.). 

 Male. Differs from sarracenioides chiefly in the 

 male genitalia, most noticeably in having the first 

 segment of the hypopj^gium shining black. Other 

 characters are slight; the forceps are more uniformly 

 tapering, but said by Becker to be variable ; the proc- 

 esses arising out of the apical cavity of the penis are 

 more slender, filiform, not flattened and toothed on 

 one side. 



Four males, three from New Bedford, Mass. 

 (Hough collection), the other from Palo Alto, Cal., 

 in my collection. The width of the front is .197, .211, 

 .220, and .240 of head, averaginsr .217. A corre- 

 sponding female form with black genital segment 

 might be expected, but would be hard to separate 

 from the variety liarpaoc; I have not seen such fe- 

 males. 



Bottcher grouped the three forms tuberosa, har- 

 pax and eosuherans as follows: 



1. Both segments of hypopygium black. 



Antenna reaching below lowest edge of eyes, 

 the third joint twice as long as the second; 

 forceps with parallel front and back edges 

 in profile, and an apical tooth at or behind 

 middle Jiarpaw Pand. 



Antennge shorter, third joint 1^/2 times as 

 long as second; forceps slender 



tuberosa Pand.
