The above synonymy except the last one is according to Brauer and 

 Bergenstamm,- who compared the types of these three descriptions; 

 these authors state that the type of the genus Archytas has the pro- 

 boscis broken, which accounts for the peculiar form accorded to this 

 organ by Jaennicke. Parafahricia was considered by its founders as 



'This name was iiroposed by Dr. Williston to replace ,/?/(j;a/2>(s Thorns., preoccu- 

 pied. On page 301 he gives anaxias Walk, and analia Mac<i. as probable synonyms 

 of luvmorrhoa v. d. W. In the Biol. Cent.-Amer., Diptera, Vol. II, p. 32, van der 

 Wnlp gives the latter as synonymous with rohnsta Wiod., places analis JNIacq. and 

 fiUpalpin Kond. in the same category, and states that Jilipalpis Thom. may also be 

 added to this list. He donlits the correctness of Williston's reference of anaxias 

 Walk., owing to Walker's statement that there are "no bristles on the sides of the 

 face;" but Walker refers to the facial ridges, and not to the sides of the face as at 

 present understood. In the Dipteri del Messico, p. 10, Giglio-Tos i)laces cora Bigot 

 as a synonym oi Jilipalpis Rond.
