SAKCOPHAGA AND ALLIES 161 



Numerous specimens, La Fayette, Ind., bred by 

 J. J. Davis from larvae of the Army Worm collected 

 in eastern Michigan; issued June 7, 1915. Some were 

 from cages in which care had been taken to introduce 

 only living caterpillars (Aldrich, Journal of Eco- 

 nomic EfUtomology, viii, 244) ; Mr. Davis, however, 

 expressed some doubt to me later about the exclusion 

 of all uncertainty in this case. 



One male, three females, Belleville, Kan., reared 

 from EI codes opaca by W. E. Pennington (Webster 

 No. 13510). 



One female, Enola, Va., reared from S paraholus 

 sp. (a Myriapod), by Sara Reynolds. 



Type. — Female, in University of Kansas. 



Sarcophaga amblycoryphae Coq. 



Coquillett, Proc. Ent. Soc. Wash., vi, 187, 1904, female 

 only. 



The species was described from a single female, 

 bred by Dr. George Dimmock, at Springfield, Mass., 

 from "a living adult of Amhlncorypha ohiongifolia/' 

 In the Hough collection I found a female from 

 Jamesburg, N. J., which on comparison with the type 

 in the National Museum appeared to be identical and 

 is so labeled; no males have been found which can be 

 determined as the same species, hence it is impos- 

 sible to say positively whether the species would be 

 correctly located in Group B or Group D. As my 

 female shows a rudimentary larvipositor, the latter al- 

 ternative is very likely the correct one. The com- 

 parison with the type having been made some tune 

 ago, I dare not press it too far in announcing minute 

 characters from my specimen; so I will only add to 

 the original description that the anterior acrostichals 

 are well developed. Until a corresponding male is 

 found the species cannot be satisfactorily known. The 

 habit, however, was worth noting, and probably justi- 

 fies the descri])tion of the species from the female.
