dotata Walker, 18596 : 123 (Masicera). Holotype $, Indonesia: Celebes, Makassar (BMNH, 



London) [examined]. - Indonesia (Celebes). 



Two specimens collected by Wallace near Makassar stand with the holotype in BMNH 



but have no type-status. Walker's description is in error in stating that the eyes are bare. 

 echinata Mesnil, 1953c : 154. Holotype $, Burma: Kachin, Kambaiti (ZMU, Helsinki) 



[examined]. - Burma, India (Assam). 

 fenestrata Mesnil, 19716 : 993 (Hypotachina) . Holotype $, Burma: Kachin, Kambaiti (ZMU, 



Helsinki). Comb. n. - Burma, India (Assam, West Bengal), Nepal. (Possibly = 



ornata) . 

 grandis Walker, 1852 : 278 (Tachina). Holotype $, India (as 'East Indies' in error) (BMNH, 



London) [examined]. - Burma, India (Assam, Uttar Pradesh), Nepal, Thailand. [Junior 



primary homonym of Tachina grandis Zetterstedt, 1844.] 



The synonymy of grandis with bicolor and tropidobotkra (now = angustecarinata) given 



by Wulp (18966 : 129) and Malloch (1926 : 510) is not correct. The species is distinct 



from angustecarinata but the name grandis cannot be applied, as Tachina grandis Walker, 



1852, is a junior primary homonym of Tachina grandis Zetterstedt, 1844. A new name 



is not proposed as it appears likely that bipartita Malloch is the same species and therefore 



that the latter name will be available as a replacement name when the group is revised. 

 javana Brauer & Bergenstamm, 1894 : 615 (79) (Dexiomima) . Holotype <J, Indonesia: Java, 



eastern Java, Trengger Mts (NM, Vienna) [examined]. - Indonesia (Java). 

 ornata Bigot, 1889 : 256 (Exorista). Holotype $ [not <£], India (Tndes') (BMNH, London) 



[examined]. - India (Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh), Indonesia (Java), 



Malaysia (Malaya). 

 raoi Mesnil, 19716 : 992 (Hypotachina). Holotype $, India: Himachal Pradesh, Kotgarh 



(coll. Mesnil). Syn. n. 

 rutilioides Townsend, 1933 : 465 (Prohypotachina) . Holotype o*. Vietnam (North); Tonkin, 



Manson Mts (? NM, Vienna). Comb. n. - Vietnam (North). 



The holotype (the only known specimen) of this nominal species should be in the NM, 



Vienna, collection but could not be located when searched for by colleagues during the 



preparation of this paper. The Tachinidae part of that collection requires curation and 



it is probable that the specimen will ultimately be found there. From description it is 



evident that rutilioides is assignable to Nemoraea s.l. 

 titan Walker, 1849 : 735 (Tachina). Lectotype $ (by present designation), Bangladesh: 



Sylhet (BMNH, London) [examined]. - Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Szechwan), India 



(Assam, ? West Bengal), Nepal, ? Burma. 

 aurifrons Malloch, 1935a : 150. Holotype o\ China: Szechwan, Mupin ( = Moupin) (USNM, 



Washington) [examined]. Syn. n. 

 triangulata Villeneuve, 1937a : 2. Holotype q*> China: Szechwan, Mt Omei (not located, 



possibly lost). - China (Szechwan). 



The holotype specimen was collected by D. C. Graham in Szechwan and should be in 



USNM, Washington. It cannot be found in that collection, has never been seen by 



Mesnil (pers. comm.), and is perhaps lost. 

 viridifulva Malloch, 1935^ : 683 (Kinabaluia) . Holotype $, Malaysia: Sabah, Mt Kinabalu, 



Kamborangah (BMNH, London) [examined]. Comb. n. -Malaysia (Sabah). 

 Undescribed sp. - Malaysia (Sarawak). 

 Undetermined sp. (nr titan). -Burma, India (Assam, West Bengal), Nepal.
