184 THOMAS SAY FOUNDATION 



One male, Opelousas, La., March, 1897, from 

 Hough collection. 



Type. — Location of type unknown to me, 

 perhaps in Paris. 



Mr. Parker identified this specimen for me, as 

 the same species which Mr. Johnson had identified as 

 fulvipes from Florida. In Johnson's first reference 

 he identified it as fulviijes of Walker but in the sec- 

 ond he changed to fulvipes of Macquart. There is of 

 course no absolute certainty in the identification, but 

 to avoid confusion I have accepted it and have con- 

 sidered Walker's species identical with Macquart's. 



Mr. Parker informs me that a variety with black 

 legs occurs also, but I have not seen it.
