rgiS-] M. Bezzi : Indian Trypaneids (Fritit-FUes) . 75 



an Ortalid of the Stenopterina group, belonging to Plagiostenopterina, Hendel. Type in 

 lyondon. 



159. **lugubris (Tephritis), Macquart, 1847 (Mem. Soc. Sei. I^ille, 109 (93), pi. vi, f. 7) from N. 



Holland. Seems to be a Rioxa ; type in Bigot's (Verrall's) collection at Newmarket. 



160. macilentus (Dacus), Wiedemann, 1830 (Auss. Zweifi., ii, 525, 18) from unknown locality. 



Not a Z)a«/s, and -perhaps an Ortalid; referred as niaculentus by Froggatt, Report, 1909, 

 p. 99. Type in Vienna. Belongs to Rivellia according to Prof. Hendel. 



161. maculiger {Bactrocera), Doleschall, 1858-59 (Nat. Tijdschr. N. Indie, xvii, 122, 79) from 



Amboina. A Bactrocera, synonyinous with zonata, Saunders. Froggatt, Report 1909, p. 

 94, says that the type in the Imperial Museum, Vienna, bears a label by L,oew on which 

 is written : zonatus — maculiger. 



162. maculipennis (Bactrocera), Doleschall, 1856 (Nat. Tijdschr. N. Indie, x. 412, 36, pi. ii, f. 



i) from Java. Placed by Van der Wulp in synonymy with ferruginea, Fabr., has been 

 recently recognized as a good species by Meijere. Type in Vienna. 



163. ^maculipennis (Meracantha), Macquart, 185 1 (Mem. Soc. Sei. Lille, 258 [285] i, pi. 26, f. 9) 



from India. Loew and Osten-Sacken considered it as an Ortalid ; but Hendel (Wien. 

 Bnt. Zeit., xxix, 1910, p. 109) has stated that it is the type-species of the Trypaneid genus 

 M eracanthomyia , the generic name of Macquart being preoccupied in Coleoptera. Type in 

 Verrall's collection. 

 164 maculipennis (Achias), Westwood, 1848 (Cab. Orient. Entom., 38, pi. 18, f. 4) from Java. 

 Is a Themara, as stated by Osten-Sacken, 1881, p. 461. The species is widely spread in 

 the Oriental region. Type at Oxford. See also Meijere, Tijdschr., liv, p. 382, and Ender- 

 lein, Zool. Jahrbuch., xxxi, 415. 



165. *malaica (Oxyphora), Schiner, 1868 (Dipt. Novara Reise, 274, 125) from Ceylon. Is said to 



be synonymous with Xarmita leiicoteliis, Walk., as was suspected by Schiner himself. 

 Type at Vienna. 



166. *mangiferae (Dacus), Cotes, 1893 (Ind. Mus. Notes, iii, 17) from India. The species has 



been figured by Maxwell-Lefroy. Van der Wulp has considered it synonymous with 

 Bactrocera ferruginea, Fabr. I have seen the type in the Indian Museum, and think that 

 it is a variety of ferruginea, but suspect that the differences may be due merely to imma- 

 turity, being seen only in bred specimens. 



167. manto (Trypeta), Osten-Sacken, 1882 (Berlin. Entom. Zeistschr , xxvi, 231, f. 11) from the 



Philippine Islands. A Ceratitinine with plumose arista. Type at Heidelberg. According 

 to Enderlein (Zool. Jahrbuch., xxxi, 420) belongs perhaps to Acanthoneitra. 



168. marginemaculata (Acinia), Macquart, 1851 (Mem. Soc, Sei. lyille^ 265, (292) 8, pi. 27, f. 6) 



from Asia. Seems to be a Trypaneinine of the stellafa group. Type in Paris. 



169. melaleuca (Trypeta), Walker, 1862 (Proc. Linn. Soc, vii, 238, 40) from Ceram. Osten- 



Sacken, 1881, p. 259, says that this species is identical with atilia of the same author ; but 

 this last name has priority, and therefore is used by Van der Wulp in his Catalogue. A 

 widely distributed species, which belongs to Spheniscomyia. Type in London. 



170. melanotus (Dacus), Coquillett, 1910 (Ent. News, xxi, 13) from Cook Island, Polj-nesia. 



Probably a species of Bactrocera, bred from oranges. Type at Washington, IT. S. National 

 Museum, no. 12739. 



171. meritoria (Helomyza), Walker, 1862 (Proc. Linn. Soc, vii, 218, 79) from Mysol. Czerny, who 



has seen the type in the British Museum, says that this species is not a Helomyzid, but 

 a Trypaneid ; from the wing-pattern it seems to be related to Rioxa. 



172. *mixta (Trypeta), Walker, 1853 (Dipt. Saunders., iv, 385) from East India. Seems to be 



a Tephritis. Type in London. 



173. *modestus (Dacus), Fabricius, 1805 (Syst. Antl., 278, 29) from Bengal ; Wiedemann, Auss. 



Zweifl..ii, p. 493. 26. Van der Wulp in 1898 placed the species in Ptilona, but Meijere
