SARCOPHAGA AND ALLIES 27 



Wing as in Sarcopliaga; third vein hairy; third 

 costal segment longer than fifth and sixth together. 



Hypopygimn inconspicnous, turned under the 

 abdomen. 



The type species is in habit, according to Osten 

 Sacken, the European analogue of our North Amer- 

 ican Screw- Worm Fly, Chri/somyia macellaria F., its 

 larva frequently getting into the sores of animals and 

 not rarely attacking man, in Eastern Europe. 



Table of Species. — Males. 

 Western species, the abdomen mostly pollinose, 

 its black spots small

 Eastern species, the black spots large and con- 

 fluent, the pollinose paTt not very conspicu- 

 ous No. 3. vigil Walk. 

 Several other species assigned to Paraphyto by 

 Coquillett do not belong to Wohlfahrtia; the types 

 appeared to the writer to belong to Dexiid genera, 

 hence are not further considered here. But the type 

 of Paraphyto undoubtedly belongs to Wohlfahrtia.
