The above data regarding C. micropogon, which has been 
referred to in the Australian literature on Australian blowflies 
as C. dux and as C’. megacephala, constitute the first published 
information relating to the life periods of this species; they 
have been found to be practically identical with those of 
C. albiceps. 
Our attention has been drawn by Dr. E. W. Ferguson to 
the fact that under the name C. megacephala there are in 
Queensland at least two species readily separable on examining 
the eyes, whose facets in one case (C. micropogon) are much 
smaller than in the other (C. megacephala).
