 are peg-formed and protruding, hind-coxae rather broad, contiguous 

 in middle, their coxae-rings (Trochanters) supporting (when the tro- 

 chanter is rather large, lying dawnward on the upper part of the 

 femur, it is termed supporting)) the tibiae oftenest with spinesj 

 the tarsi of Hypocyptus alone 4-jointed, all others 5-Jointed. 



Of the larvae of Tachyporini only few are known, belonging to 

 genera Habrocerus . Leucoparyphus , Tachinus (Schiiidte) Tachyporus 

 (Schi^dte) and Conosoma . 



The majority of our species Tachyporini are by their form of 

 body easily identified for the group, this can be divided into five 

 divisions, by the characters of head, antennae, elytra, and tarsi, 

 of these divisions the two first are often found placed as separa- 

 te groups (cf. Thome., Rey and Ganglb.)

Key to Divisions. 



1. Antennae from the third joint filiform and whorl-haired ...2.
