PHILIPPINE DIPTERA, II 29 



over the Palsearctic, Ethiopian, and Oriental Regions. The 

 species has received various names and has been bred from 

 different Lepidoptera, being also known as a parasite of the 

 silkworm. 



158. Sarcophaga ruficornis Fabr. 1794. 



LUZON, Rizal, Alabang (Mitzmairi) . The same as Indian 

 specimens of this species in my collection, but I have not studied 

 the male genitalia. This is a species of economic importance, 

 which is known to produce severe forms of myiasis in India. 



159. Rhinia testacea R. D. 1830. 



LUZON, Rizal, Alabang (Mitzmain) . Corresponding perfectly 

 with Ethiopian specimens in my collection ; known in the Oriental 

 Region from the Nicobar and Key Islands. 



160. Thelychaeta viridiaurea Wied. 1824. 



LUZON, Laguna, Los Bafios and Mount Maquiling (Baker) ; 

 Rizal, Alabang (Mitzmain). A beautiful species, originally 

 described from India, which seems to be spread over the entire 

 Oriental Region. New for the Philippines. 



161. Compsomyia dux Esch. 1822. 



LUZON, Laguna, Los Banos and Mount Maquiling; Benguet, 

 Baguio (Baker) ; Rizal, Alabang (Mitzmain) . Common in the 

 Orient. Originally described as a Musca and subsequently re- 

 ferred to Lucilla, or to Chrysomyia, or to Pycnosoma; but as 

 Coquillett states that this species is the type of Compsomyia, 10 

 it seems at present better to reserve this generic name for the 

 species with enlarged areolets near the eyes of the male. They 

 are prevalently oriental. The Ethiopian species of the group 

 marginalis can retain the name Pycnosoma, and the Neotropical 

 species of the group macellaria can retain that of Chrysomyia. 



162. Philaematomyia crassirostris Stein. 1903. 



LUZON, Laguna, Mount Maquiling (Baker) ; Rizal, Alabang 

 (Mitzmain). A common species, known from India and Java, 

 but certainly spread over all the Oriental Region as well as the 

 Mediterranean and Ethiopian Regions. 



163. Philaematomyia inferior Stein. 1909. 



LEYTE, Tacloban (Baker) ; LUZON, Rizal, Alabang (Mitz- 

 main) . This species was described from Java ; it seems to 



10 However, Brauer and Bergenstamm claimed, before the time of Co- 

 quillett, that the type of Compsomyia was macellaria.
