1This species is usually credited to Riley, but he never described it so far as I am 
aware. 
2In Psyche for June, 1893, page 467, Mr. Townsend reports having received from 
Professor Forbes two Tachina flies bred ‘‘from pup of Huchetes egle. Breeding 
cage, May 4, 1880.” One of these he refers to Masicera schizure and the other to 
Prospherysa promiscua, apparently without suspecting that both of them belonged 
to one and the same species.
