Prochyliza xanthostoma Walk. Kushla. 

 Piophila casei Linn. Kushla. 



Ortalidid.e. 



Rivellir. variabilis Loew. Kushla. 



Camptoneurr, picta Fabr. Kushla. 



Pseudotephritif; vau Say. Kushla. 



Chrysomyza aenea Fabr. Kushla. An Oriental species, recorded 

 from Louisiana by Knab (Science, n.s. 43; 76). I found it com- 

 mon about cut sugar-cane. 



Euxesta notata Wied. Kushla, Mobile, Springhill. 



Chaetopsis fulvifrons Macq. Kushla, Mobile. 



Zacompsia fulva Coq. Kushla, Mobile. I have the species also from 

 Florence, S. C. There is evidently a slip in the generic descrip- 

 tion given by Coquillett. The third antennal joint is said to be 

 twice as wide as long, but more slender than in Euxesta — an ob- 

 vious contradiction. It should be " twice as long as wide." The 

 error appears also in the table of genera given in Willdston's 

 Manual (3d edition, 1908, p. 278). The form differs from all the 

 ten species of Euxesta known to me in having no prescutcllar 

 bristles. 



Trypetid.'E. 



Peronyma sarcinata Loew. Saraland (2 specimens), Kushla (3 spec- 

 imens), Springhill (i specimen). The species does not seem to 

 have been recorded since Loew described it from South Carolina. 



The following notes are therefore presented. 



Two subequal orbitals, convergent and slightly proclinate ; a third 

 reclinate one near vertex. An inner convergent and a shorter outer 

 divergent vertical. A long, widely divergent ocellar. Postverticals 

 subparallel. One humeral ; two notopleurals ; one large and one small 

 presutural; one supraalar; two postalars; two dorsocentrals ; one 

 scutellar pair. Two mesopleurals ; one pteropleural; one sternopleural. 

 A number of fine black hairs on lower and posterior portion of sterno- 

 pleura. A tuft of small white hairs in center of propleura, and sim- 

 ilar hairs scattered over mesopleura ; no hairs on pteropleura. 



One specimen has only one lower orbital on one side, 3 on the
