Lucilia Linné. 
Only one species, caesar Linné, has been reported, so far as I know. 
Pollenia Robineau-Desvoidy. 
Sepimentum Hutton can not be held distinct from Pollenia. Structurally 
and in chaetotaxy the genotypes of the two, which I have carefully examined 
cannot be separated except in such details as are only specific and not generic. 
I would — sink Sepimentum as a Synonym o of Pollenia, and after 
examining the type specimens of Hutton’s two species I have arrived at 
the decision that demissum must be considered as a synonym of deese 
The species will thus stand as below :— 
Pollenia fumosum (Hutton). 
Sepimentum fumosum Hutton; Septimentum demissum Hutton. 
The species is evidently common in New Zealand, as I have seen many 
specimens from Messrs. Watt and Fenwick. 
Chrysomyia Robineau-Desvoidy. 
. I have seen only one species from New Zealand, rufifacies Macquart. 
The two species which occur in Агар, and which may yet occur in 
New Zealand, may be separated as below 
Antennae e face rufous; calyptrae whitish, hind- 
margin of upper one and posterior half of lower 
dark mde wn or fuscous ; hairs and bristles of fourth 
mper rgite pale except at base of tergite dux Eschscholz.

There are two species known to me ood islands off the coast of New 
Zealand, and one from New Zealand. They may be separated by means of 
the key given below :— 
i; jupe with two strong intra-alar bristles on each 
е; fore tibia 
bristle; legs black ; abdomen metallic blue- 
green, with very slight leger ish pruinescence ..  hortona Walker.*

yellow ; abdom a Slack. wiper a violet tinge and 
t greyish nescence on dorsum eudypti Hutton.

Legs entirely black, so un ha extreme apices 
of femora and the tibiae more or less brownish ; 
abdomen metallic enis, with сен уна 
pruin ce on dorsum . anlipodei Hutton. 
I have examined only the we series of the last two, but have seen 
many — of the other from New Zealand, sent me by Mr. M. N. Watt 
* Major Patton has — the types of Walker's two species icela and hortona 
and finds them to be the same species.
