Tarhina rhn/socephalo {ibid, j), 351. — S. America ; precise 

 locality uncertain) is a Pliorncera, llob.-Dcsv. 



Tarhina hasn/is [ibid. p. 351. — Port Famine, Strait of 

 Magellan) belon«rs to the "Section" Phurocera, Hr.& v. Ber^,, 

 and apparently to a new <renus near ('hatoyadiuy lir. & v. 

 Bert;. Kyes l)arc ; depth of jowls, M'hich descend notice- 

 ably bcliind, e(pial to half that cf the eyes; facial ridges 

 ciliated to above the middle ; face with a row of bristles 

 (a continuation of the frontal series) which descends nearly 

 to le\el of lower margin of eye ; abdominal macroclisetse 

 diseal and marginal ; bend of fourth vein somewhat rounded. 



Tachina niatira {ibid. p. 352. — Port Famine, Strait of 

 Magellan) is a synonym of the foregoing species. 



Tachina atriveidris (Ins. Saundersiana. — Diptcra, pt. iv. 

 (1852) p. 290. — India) is assigned by Walker himself at the 

 commencement of his description to the genus Nemortea. 

 It is not, however, congeneric Avith X. ptdhicida, Mg., and 

 apparently a new genus, possibly referable to the " Section " 

 Purumacronychia, Br. &. von Berg., will have to be founded 

 for its reeeptidu. — Eyes hairy ; ansta bare ; antennse long ; 

 jowls not descending; abdomen thickly clothed with erect 

 hair; first, second, and third segments with marginal but no 

 diseal macrochiette ; costal spine wanting; no appendix or 

 " Faltenzinke " to bend of fourth vein ; claws in male vory 

 long. 



Tachina alta {ibid. j). 293.— India).— The type of tliis 

 species proved to be an unrecognizable fragment, and has 

 consequently been destroyed. The name should be deleted 

 from van der Wulp's * Catalogue of the Described Diptera 

 from South Asia.' 



Kitriyuster lanyuida (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. iv. (1858) 

 p. 198. — India) is a Blepharifjoda. 



Tachina tricincta (Ins. Saundersiana. — Diptera, pt. iv. 

 (1852) p. 301. — India) belongs to the genus Frontina — 

 sens. lat. Br. & von Berg. 



Masicera inciiica (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. n. ser. v. (1861) 

 p. 305. — Asia. — ? India) is a!i Aporomyia, Rond. The 

 facial ridges are ciliated to the le\el of the descending 

 orbital setit — i. e. to above the middle. The length is in- 

 correctly given by Walker as 4, instead of 2 lines. 



Tachina adusta (Ins. Saundersiana. — Diptera, j)t. iv. 

 (1852j p. 292. — India) is a Frontina, Mg.
