The holotype bears the following label: "Ace. No. 108, Bur. Agr., 

 P. I.," the paratype, "Ace. No. 136, Bur. Agr., P. I." 



Among the material examined is one female specimen which may 

 be the female of this species and bears the label, "Probably female of 

 Sarcophaga Icnabi R. Pkr." The original label reads as follows: 

 "Ace. No. 146, Bur. Agr., P. I." 



Among the described species included in the lot from the PhiUppines 

 were a male and female, probably of Sarcophaga ruficornis Wiedemann, 

 a male and female of S. tuherosa harpax Pandelle, and a male of S. 

 orchidea Bottcher. S. ruficornis has been known only from India ; and, 

 since no figure of the genital segments now exists in the literature, one 

 presented in this paper (fig. 5). S. orchidea was described from 

 Formosa.
