  NOTE 
  REGARDING 
  TYPES 
  OF 
  SOME 
  TACHINIDAE 
  (DIPTERA) 
  

  

  FROM 
  INDIA. 
  

  

  By

  D. 
  Tothill,

  Branch, 
  Ottawa, 
  Canada. 
  

  

  In 
  this 
  Bulletin 
  for 
  May 
  1918 
  (Vol. 
  ix, 
  pt. 
  1) 
  some 
  species 
  of 
  Tachinidae 
  were 
  

   described 
  from 
  India. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  intention 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  to 
  deposit 
  the 
  types 
  in 
  the 
  

   British 
  Museum 
  (Nat. 
  Hist.), 
  but 
  owing 
  to 
  war 
  conditions 
  it 
  was 
  considered 
  advisable 
  

   to 
  retain 
  them 
  in 
  Canada 
  until 
  a 
  later 
  date. 
  In 
  March 
  of 
  this 
  year 
  (1922) 
  the 
  type 
  

   material 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  ; 
  a 
  set 
  of 
  paratypes 
  of 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  

   was 
  retained 
  for 
  the 
  National 
  Collection 
  at 
  Ottawa 
  ; 
  and 
  another, 
  but 
  larger, 
  set 
  of 
  

   paratypes 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  F. 
  C. 
  Beeson, 
  the 
  Forest 
  Entomologist, 
  at 
  Dehra 
  Dun, 
  

   India. 
  The 
  species 
  concerned 
  are 
  :

  is 
  also 
  a 
  synonym. 
  

   Frontina 
  kashmiri,

  should 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  Podomyia, 
  B. 
  &
