396 Records of the Indian Museum. [Vol. XXII, 1921.] 



Family Sarcophagidae. 



Two or three species of Sarcophaga , not represented in the 

 collection of the Indian Museum, are not uncommon on Barkuda. 



Family Muscidae. 



A single female of Lyperosia minnta Bezzi, an apparently 

 widel}' distributed form, and two or three species of Lucilia have 

 been captured on the island. One of the latter is certainly L. 

 dux Erichs., represented in the Museum collection from Calcutta, 

 Sikkim, Rangoon and Mergui. The larvae of L. dux is apparently 

 parasitic on the Chital (Cervus axis). A single female of Idielliopsis 

 similis Towns. (3-i9-viii-i9), a recently described species, was 

 taken by Dr. Gravely on Barkuda. 



Family Hippoboscidae. 



Mr. Brunetti has identified a fly that occurs on the Chital as 

 Lipoptena cervi Linn., a European species, which has also been 

 taken in Africa.
