Common in Kashmir and the large seaports of the Oriental 

 Region, and possibly inland. 



As would be expected, the common house fly Musca domestica 

 Linnaeus has been described many times. Wiedemann who 

 studied Fabricius's collection at Kiel states it did not contain a 

 single specimen of M. domestica, labeled as such by Fabricius, 

 but that corvina Fabricius, ludifica Fabricius, and umbraculata 

 Fabricius are nothing more than domestica Linnaeus. As Wiede- 

 mann must have examined the types of these species and notes 

 that the specimen of corvina and umbraculata labeled by Fabri- 

 cius at Copenhagen are domestica, we must accept these deter- 

 minations as final, and remove the names corvina and ludifica 

 from the synonomy of Musca autumnalis de Geer. The remain- 

 ing synonyms must be regarded in the nature of mere guesses at 

 the truth ; the types, except that of frontalis, do not exist and it 

 is quite impossible to determine the species.
