(1819) p. IIGI) ; Eurygaster mutans (Jourii. Proc. Linn. 

 Soc. V. (1801) p. 240) ; Tachina austrulis (Ins. Saund. — 

 Dipt. iv. (1852) p. 279) ; and Ncinoraa ainplijicuns (Journ. 

 Proc. Linn. Soc. iv. (I860) p. 122). The extensive series of 

 specimens in the Mnseum collection shows that B. zehina is 

 among the commonest of the larger Tachiniiue in India and 

 Ceylon, and also occurs in Bnrma, Malacca, Java, the Sunda 

 Is., Celebes, Dorey (New Guinea), Queensland, and New 

 South Wales. 



Tachina grandis (Ins. Saund. — Dipt. iv. (1852) p. 278, 

 pi. vii. tig. 1. — India) belongs to the genus Nemoroea, Rob.- 

 Desv., and may be the female of A^. tropidoliothra, Br. & 

 V. Berg., as stated by van der Wulp (Tijdschr. v. Ent. xxxvi. 

 p. 161, & Cat. Descr. Dipt. S. Asia, p. 129). But, since 

 Walker's type does not altogether agree with the description 

 by Braner and von Bergenstamm, it seems advisable, for the 

 present at any rate, to regard the two species as distinct.
