SOME NEW SPECIES OF TACHINIDAE FROM INDIA. 



By John D. Tothill, 

 Entomological Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottaiva, Canada. 



A collection of Indian Tachinid flies was received some time ago through the 

 kindness of Dr. A. D. Imms. An examination has shown that most of the specimens 

 are new, and these are described forthwith. In the use of genera a conservative 

 course has been adopted, and the new species have been placed for the time being 

 at least in genera already in use. 



The type specimens have been deposited for the present in the National Collection 

 of Insects maintained by the Entomological Branch of the Department of Agriculture 

 at Ottawa. -
