ingly long and dense villosity, the former with a 

 single stout spine on the outer front side; middle 

 femur without comb. 



Wings hyaline ; no costal spines ; third costal seg-

Five males from Miami, Fla., collected by C. T. 

 Townsend, and one by Frederick Knab. Collected 

 in November and December. 



Holotype.— Male, No. 20545, U. S. N. M. 



No. 100. Sarcophaga spectabilis n. sp. 



Very similar to liUlifera, the most obvious dif-

 end ; second segment red, globose ; forceps black, long 

 and slender, distinctly more curved forward about 

 the middle ; accessory plate almost circular in outline, 

 the posterior edge thin and bare; posterior clasper 

 black, straight, hardly tapering; anterior clasper yel- 

 low, very wide and short, with only a tooth at outer 

 angle, the basal part concealed behind an expansion 

 of the second genital segment; penis yellow, small, 

 basal segment short; distal segment in profile almost 

 concealed by the lateral expansion of the back plate, 

 which however is deeply excised near its middle, and 

 is widely open apically; on the front side a pair of 

 stout ascending yellow processes arise, ending in two 

 sharp points turned forward; at the apex a pair of 

 small points project forward, with a wide, transpar-
