CLASSIFICATION. 
Probably no single family of Diptera has received greater considera- 
tion in Europe than the Tachinide, and yet, strange as this may seem, no 
ovher family at the present time is in greater disorder. Several authors 
accord them only subfamily rank, but it appears desirable to consider 
them as a distinct family, although their relationship to the Dexidee 
and Sarcophagid is a very intimate one. They may be recognized by 
the bare, or at least never plumose, antennal arista. They are com- 
monly divided into five subfamilies, and these have by one or two 
writers even been accorded family rank. The characters employed in 
separating them are as follows:
