8 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. I3I 



former appears to be a AIS. name. This specimen is a color variant of hirti- 

 tihia Wlk., but is not the true type of variventris, which was from Brazil and 

 probably different. 



Tabanus vemistnlus Krober 1930, Dipt. Pat. S. Chile, 5 (2) : 155. Chile. B. M. 

 Apparently not returned to B. M. after description. 



Tabanus viridiflavtis Wlk. 1850, Newman's Zoologist, 5, App., p. Ixvi. Brazil. 

 B. M. Lutz (igo7) = mexicanus L. The description indicates Chlorotabanus 

 inanis Fab. in the synonymy of which the name has long been placed. 



Pangonia xanthopogon Macq. 1838, Dipt. Exot., i (2) : 179. Brazil, Goyaz. Mus. 

 Paris. Lutz (1909) regarded a specimen in Mus. Paris labeled fulvibarbis, 

 the Latin equivalent of the Greek xanthopogon, as probably the type. I did not 

 know of this at the time and did not see the specimen. 



It is to be noted that most of the types of ]\Iacquart which could not 

 be found in the Paris Museum are species he received from other col- 

 lectors. Thus, of four species from the Marquis de Spinola, none was 

 found ; of eight from the Serville collection, none is in Paris, and one 

 was found in the British Museum. Species described from the collec- 

 tions of de Villiers, Robyns, Guerin, and de Breme, six in all, are all 

 missing from the Paris Museum. The Bigot material and most of the 

 Fairmaire species are in the British Museum save for a few appar- 

 ently lost. Of the 50 species I have been able to check, described from 

 the Paris Museum collections, only 6 are apparently missing, and these 

 were mainly species without locality which may have been placed 

 elsewhere in the collections. 



Dr. C. B. Philip, who has examined a large proportion of the types 

 discussed here, as well as many of Wiedemann's types, has very gen- 

 erously gone over the manuscript of this paper and made numerous 

 suggestions and corrections. He was also fortunate in discovering 

 certain types of Macquart's species in Paris which I did not see, and 

 I append here the information on them he has furnished, as his obser- 

 vations cannot properly be placed with my own. 



Pangonia bicolor Macq. 1850. 2 ? cotypes in Paris confirm synonymy with 

 P. semiflava Wied. 



Chrysops jrontalis Macq. 1838. i 6 type in Paris with dichoptic eyes and pecul- 

 iar wing pattern. 



Tabanus fulvilateralis Macq. 1838 is the same as the Nearctic T. (Hybomitra) 

 haemaphorus Marten 1882, and agrees with a specimen from Alaska in Dr. 

 Philip's collection. 



Tabanus scutcllatus Macq. 1839. 2 $ cotypes in Paris are not the same as 

 T. macula Macq. 1845. 



In the following list the names are arranged alphabetically. Each 

 name is followed by a condensed citation to its original proposal with 

 the generic name under which it was proposed in parentheses, and the 

 location of the material studied indicated by "B. M." for the British
