N.B.—" Desvoidya " was a nom. nov. for Armigeres, Theob., 

 practically preoccupied by Hartmann in 1840— 1842 {Armiger) in 

 MoUusca. 



Moreover Dcsvoidia, :\Ieade, Ent. Month. Mag., xxviii, 179 

 (1892), in Tachinidae antedates Blanchard's genus, for which 

 1 propose the title Blauchardiomyia. I should consider it, with 

 other " genera " in this family, at most a sub-genus.

N.B. — In vol. V Theobald says that he previously erro- 

 neously placed this species as a variety of obturbans : in that 

 volume he considers it a good species. 



He previously stated, '" all variations in colour between the 

 true obturbans of Walker, and the fusca of Theobald, seen in these 

 >pecimens. and hence the latter species is sunk as a variety."
