ISrOTES ON BIOLOGY OF SOME MUSCOID FLIES. — JOHNSTON. 101 



ADDENDUM. 



While this paper was in the press, three recent papers by 

 W. S. Patton relating to the subject have reached Australia : — 

 (1) " Notes on the Species of the Genus Mtisca " (Bull. Ent. 

 Res., 12 (4), 1922, pp. 411-426); (2) "Some Notes on Indian 

 Calliphorinse, No. 6 " (Ind Jour. Med. Res., 9, 1922, pp. 

 635-653) ; (3) "Somes Notes on Indian Calliphorinse, No. 7." 

 (I.e., pp. 654-657). 



In the first paper there are changes in the names of the 

 Indian flies referred to in our paper. M. determinata Wlk. is 

 a s3Tionyra of M. nebulo ; M. determinata Awati is M. domestica 

 (atypical) ; while 31 promisma Awati is M. humilis Wied. 

 The following information is given relating to Australian 

 species : — M. vetustissima Wlk., M . minor Mcq., and 31. humilis 

 Stein (nee. Wied.) are quoted as synonyms of 31. pumifa Mcq.; 

 31. fergusoni J. & B. as a synonym of 31. convexifrons Thomson ; 

 while M. hilli J. & B. is probably identical with 31 . ventrosa 

 Wied. 



In the second paper information is published regarding 

 the adults and larvae of various blcwfhes, including Chrysomyia 

 aibiceps and C. megacephala. 



In tne third paper data are published regarding the biology 

 of another Indian blowfly (,'. bezziana, and reference is made to 

 various Australian sheep-maggot flies, more particularly to the 

 predaceous habits of the third laval stage of C. aibiceps.
