Tlie specimens from Peradenyia, Ceylon, were reared from 

 a dead snail, Achatina fultca, and a single specimen from 

 Colombo is recorded as having a " sheep '^ for its '' host. '^ 

 The specimen from Coinibatdre is labelled " from a dead 

 snake.'^ 



Sarcophaga craggy sp. n. 



Holotype (male), collection of R. R. Parker. 



Allotype (female), collection of R. R. Parker. 



Length 9-12 mm. 



The male of this species is differentiated from its nenr 

 relatives by the following characters : — Two rows of black 

 cilia behind eyes ; cheek-vestiture white, except that of most 

 anterior portion ; in profile basal portion of fifth ventral 

 plate presents a straight line (not " humped " posteriorly) ; 

 forceps-prong toothed at tip (fig. 2, /.) ; claspers S])ecitic 

 {ax. andp.c.) ; penis ; first genital segment brownish or 

 blackish, pollinose^ second segment dull orange. In the 

 female the above characters (other than sexual) hold good, 

 except the colour of the genital segments; these are dull 

 orange throughout. 



Described from five male and two female specimens. 



India: Guindy, Madras. Nyasaland : Blantyre, 30. iii. 

 1914 (^Dr. J. B. Davey). Liberia : Mt. Coffee, iv. 1897 

 {R. P. Carrie), 



The holotype is from India ; the allotype from Nyasaland. 



S. craggi can be easily confused with exiiberans, and 

 separation can only be safely made from the characters of the 

 forceps and claspers. The specimens from Nyasaland are 

 labelled ''from pupa.'" 



This species is named in honour of Major F. W. Cragg. 



Sarcophaga marshalli, sp. n. 



Holotype (male), collection of R. R. Parker. 



The tollowing characters serve to distinguish marshalli 

 from its group-relatives : — Three rows of black cilia behind 

 eyes ; cheek-vestiture black; middle femur without " comb '^; 

 in profile basal portion of fifth ventral plate presents a 

 straight line (not " humped '^ posteriorly); forceps-prong 

 scarcely toothed at tip, in profile the anterior and posterior- 

 edges parallel for a short distance back of tip (fig. 3,/) ; 

 claspers and penis specific [p.c.) ; first genital segment dark'
