There are also one female of Musca senior-whitei Patton, recently 

 described from India (this is the first specimen I have seen from 

 Buitenzorg, Java) ; one rather greasy male of what may be 

 Musca terrae reginae Johnstone and Bancroft and a male of 

 Musca nebulo Fabricius, both from Guadalcanar Island, Solomon 

 Islands ; and several specimens of Musca vicina from Java, Am- 

 boina, and Honolulu. 



NOTE ON THE OCCURRENCE OF MUSCA DASYOPS STEIN IN CHINA 



Recently during my visit to Prof. M. Bezzi at Turin, he very 

 kindly gave me for description a male and a female of a 

 species of Musca sent him by Professor Howard, from Canton, 

 China. On comparing the female with the type and cotype of 

 Musca dasyops Stein from Kilamandjaro, East Africa, recently 

 sent to me by Doctor Kertesz for study, I find this Chinese 

 species is identical with it. As Stein never saw the male, I 

 here describe it as well as the female. 

 Musca dasyops Stein. 



Male.— Length, 5.5 millimeters. Eyes densely hairy and al- 

 most meeting in the middle line; parafacials silvery; cheeks 

 Mack. Third antennal segment mouse gray, arista black; palpi 

 black and proboscis normal. 



Thorax dark gray, and in some lights appearing almost black; 

 but this specimen is not in good preservation, the thorax being 

 greasy It ls very probable the markings are gimilar to thogQ 

 of the female (see below). The presutural dorsocentral bris- 



sutur^ P I de y el ° Ped ' eSpedally the one J' ust in fr <>nt of the
