now go under Terellia Desv. (1830), with Musca serratulae 
Linn. (1758)=(Terellia palpata and T. luteola Desv.) as the 
type species, designated by Coquillett (1910). 
Mr. Coquillett in his Type Species of North American Gen- 
era, makes Oedaspis Lw. (1862) a synonym of Orellia Desv. 
(1830). For the former he designates Trypeta multifasciata 
Lw. (1850) ; for the latter Trypeta wiedemanni Meig. (1826) 
(as Orellia flavicans new species). The two species are evi- 
dently not congeneric, so Oedaspis may stand for our species as 
given in Aldrich’s catalogue. 
Paracantha Cog. (1899). 
This was proposed for Trypeta culta Lw. Wied. (1830) as 
distinct from Carphotricha Lw. (1862). There were three 
species originally included under Carphotricha, two of which 
were designated type species of two genera by Rondani in 1856, 
Trypeta guttularis Meig. (1826) type of Dithryca Rond. and 
Trupanea reticulata Schrank (1803) [as Tephritis pupillata 
Fall (1814)] type of Oplocheta Rond. This leaves only C. 
strigilata Lw. (1862) for its type species. Should this species 
be congeneric with one of the other two, then Carphotricha will 
have to fall. As regards Paracantha, there is a probability 
of its being a synonym of Oplocheta Rond., but my study of 
Trupanea reticulata is limited to one more or less imperfect 
specimen. As I am not aware that the type species of Carpho- 
tricha Lw. has ever been fixed, I herewith designate Carpho- 
tricha strigilata Loew as such. 
Tephritis Latreille. 
This genus was first proposed by Latreille in the “Nouveau 
Dictionnaire d’Histoire Naturelle, Tome XXIV, Tableaux 
Methodiques,” dated “AN XII—1804,” page 196, No. 585. The 
species mentioned under this reference are: Musca arnica and 
Musca cerasi Fab. These two species are credited to Linn. by 
Fabricius in his Entomologica Systematica, iv, pp. 352 and 358. 
Therefore one of these species is the only one available as the 
type species of this genus. Coquillett in 1910 quotes the genus as 
dating from the “Histoire Naturelle des Crustaces et Insectes
