8v(HUrus (K. Vct.-Akad. Nya Ilandl. viii. (1787) p. 289) : 

 according to Svedcrus, the type of tlie species is in "Mas. 

 Dom. Banks," but it is not now to be found in the Banksiau 

 Collection. 



Tachinn patula (ibid. p. 712. — Locality unknown) is a 

 Hysiricia. The face is hairy. 



Tuchina anthemon {ibid. p. 733. — Brazil), T. (unisias (ibid. 

 p. 734. — Locality indxnown), 7'. epi/cuca {ibid. p. 71G. — 

 Jamaica), and T. caliyino.^a (Ins. Saund. — Dipt. p. 268. — 

 Brazil) belong to the genus Hystriciu. In H. epileuca the 

 face is hairy : H. amisias is possibly a synonym of //. an- 

 themon, but in the type of the former species, which is the 

 only specimen in the Museum, the macr()cha?tae near the 

 ront margin of the second abdominal segment are differently 

 disposed. 



Ec/tiuonn/ia furiosa (Trans. Eut. Soo. Loud. iv. (1858) 

 p. 194. — Rio Grande, Brazil) is a Hystricia : the face is 

 hairy. 



Tachina b<is(dis* (List Dipt. Lis. &c. part iv. p. 713. — 

 Jamaica) is a Jurinia, Rob.-Desv. 



Tachina decisa {ibid. p. 715. — Hudson's Bay, Nova Scotia) 

 is a Jurinia ; J. punctata, v. d. Wulp (Biol. Centr.- 

 Amcricana, Diptera, ii. p. 4G8. — Mexico) is a synonym of 

 this species. 



Tachina iterans {ibid. p. 727. — Nova Scotia) = Peleteria 

 tessellata, Fabr. The statement that there are " no bristles 

 on the side of the face " is precisely the opposite of the fact ; 

 the same remark applies to the same statement in the case 

 of 7achina pwictifera {ibid p. 728. — Massachusetts), wiiich, 

 as recorded by Coquiliett (Revision of the Tachinidie of 

 America North of Mexico. U.S. De|)t. of Agriculture. 

 Division of Entomology. Technical Series, no, 7 (1897), 

 p. 141), is likewise a synonym of P. te.s.'icUata, Fabr. 



Tachina sacontula {ibid. p. 728. — Nepaul) apparently = 

 Tach ina fera, Linn. 



tachina orbilivs {ibid. p. 736. — England) =ilfacyMar/m 

 flavipes, Mg., ? . 



Tachina mesula {ibid. p. 737. — England) = Demoticus 

 plebeju.<(, Fin. 



* Jurinia adunfa, v. d. Wulp {op. cit. p. 28. — Mexico), is very closely 

 allied to this epeciee; but in the former the antenuae, e.specially the third 

 jointe, are more reddish beneath and not wholly dark, and the dorsum 

 of the thorax is more yellinvish pollinose in front.
