536 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
Fam. 35. TACHINIDA. 
The recorded species amount to eighty-six, referred to twenty- 
eight genera. Hyalomyia, R. Desy., one; Gymnosoma, Meig., 
one; Ocyptera, Latr., four ; /urinia, R. Desv., one ; Echinomyza, 
Dumer., one; Micropalpus, Macq., nine; Gonia, Meig., two; 
Exorista, Meig., seven; Zachina, Meig., twelve; JMasicera, 
Macq., twelve ; Phorocera, R. Desv., fourteen; Belvorsia, R. 
Desv., one; Blepharopesa, Macq., one; Lurygaster, Macq., two ; 
Degeeria, Meig., one ; Chrysosoma, Macq., one; JZyobia, Macq., one; 
Tritaxys, Macq., one ; Aprotheca, Macq., one ; Chlorogaster, Macq., 
one ; Exechopalpus, Macq., one; Heterometopia, Macq., three ; 
Platytainia, Macq., one; Lolycheta, Macq., one; Sumpigaster, 
Macq., one; Zeretrophora, Macq., one; Zoxocnemis, Macq., one ; 
and Zvrichostylum, Macq., one. The ten last-named genera are 
regarded as endemic forms; the remainder are ice either in 
Europe or America, or in both, &ce. Four species of AZicropalpus 
have been described under the name WVemoraa, R. Desv. 
Fam. 36. DeExip#. 
Twelve genera, with about ninety-four species, are ascribed to 
this family. Some of the genera and species require a critical 
revision ; this has been partly effected by Bigot (Ann. Soc. Ent. 
Fr., Ser. V., 4, 1874, pp. 451-460). Dexza, Meig., seventeen ; 
Prosena, St. Farq., six; Rutilia, R. Desv., thirty-three, two of 
them doubtfully Australian ; Aormosia, Guérin, seventeen ; AZicro- 
topeza (= Rutilia), Macq., two: Omalogaster, Macq., three ; 
Amphibolia, Macq., three, one of which is possibly merely a 
synonym; Sexostoma, Macq., two; Diaphania, Macq., three ; 
Amenia, R. Desv., five; and Chetogaster and Graphystylum, 
Macq., one each. Three species described as Rutilia belong to 
Amphibolta, fourteen to Formosia, and one to Diaphania. Eleven 
species described by Walker under Dexia are placed in Rutz, 
another in ormosia. The genera Che/ogaster, Diaphania, and 
Graphostylum are endemic, and closely allied to Auta; the 
latter seems peculiar to Australia, New Guinea, and the Eastern 
Islands, New Zealand, and India. <Amphzbolia and Senostoma are 
also endemic. Amenza occurs also in New Zealand, one species, 
A. leonina, being common to that country and Australia; A/icro- 
topeza sinuata and Rutilia pellucens are also found in both 
countries. /ormosia is represented also in the Eastern Archi- 
pelago and in New Zealand ; Dexia and Prosena occur in Europe 
and America. 
Fam. 37. SARCOPHAGIDE. 
Nine species, belonging to the wide-spread genus Sarcophaga 
Meig., have been described.
