clasper black, low and wide, with a low groove on the 

 hind side, the tip rather squarely truncate ; penis dark 

 brown, with indistinct basal segment; the distal one 

 curves rather strongly forward and bears a distinct 

 transverse flap at tip, the broad margin of which is 

 thin and almost transparent, or whitish ; a stout black 

 copulatory tube bordered with whitish stands out con- 

 spicuously on the front side toward the end, and 

 basad of this a rather wide transverse plate projects 

 toward the base of the organ. The two contiguous 

 lobes of the incised fifth sternite, instead of being 

 sharp as in rileyi, are rounded and curved ventrad 

 at tip in profile. 



Female. Apparently not distinguishable from 

 that of rileyi; see note under that species. 



Seven males, Summerville, S. C, reared from 

 Sarracenia minor and flava by F. M. Jones, July 15 

 to August 8, 1915. 



Three males, from the Riley collection (U. S. 

 N. M.), No. 342x, one dated July 6, 1874; these are 

 a part of the material named Sarcophaga sarracenice

One male, Tifton, Ga. (Hough collection).

Male. Like rileyi and jonesi except in the gen- 

 italia. 



Forceps black, slender, not with hump behind 

 except at extreme base next to anus, rather strongly 

 bent forward to a sharp tip, and fringed with black 

 hairs on the entire length behind except at extreme 

 tip; from behind, the forceps diverge in a narrow V 

 from the base, the outer edges distinctly drawing in 

 to the sharp tips. Accessory plate brown, shining, 

 the free part fingerlike and curving outward, set off 

 by a lateral indentation from the attached part. Pos- 

 terior clasper black, rather short and sharp, but little 

 curved. Anterior clasper black, shining, low and
