254 R- W. CROSSKEY 



Mesnil (1954c : 370) placed anomala in Pseudoperichaeta Brauer & Bergenstamm, but 

 now considers this erroneous (Mesnil, pers. comm.). 

 carceliaeformis Villeneuve, 1937a : 3 (Aplomyia). Lectotype $ (by present designation), 

 China: Szechwan, Mt Omei (USNM, Washington) [examined]. -China (Szechwan). 



Mesnil (1955 : 454, 455) placed carceliaeformis in Phebellia Robineau-Desvoidy but it is 

 here preferred not to accept this doubtful placement. 

 nytnphalidophaga Baranov, 1936 : 112 (Erycia). Lectotype q" (by designation of Sabrosky 

 & Crosskey, 1969 : 41), India: Uttar Pradesh, Dehra Dun (BMNH, London) [examined]. - 

 Ceylon, India (Uttar Pradesh). 



This species resembles some of the species from Africa that Mesnil has placed in Thelairo- 

 soma Villeneuve; it cannot be reliably placed in a genus at present, but is certainly not 

 an Erycia Robineau-Desvoidy. 

 orientalis Mesnil, 19536 : 96 (Platymyia (Alsomyia)). Holotype q, Burma: Kachin, Kambaiti 



(ZMU, Helsinki). - Burma. 

 rufofemorata Baranov, 1936 : 112 (Erycia). Holotype $, Indonesia: Java, Bogor ( = Buiten- 

 zorg) (BMNH, London) [examined]. - Indonesia (Java). 



This characteristic species is not an Erycia Robineau-Desvoidy and should perhaps 

 be assigned to the genus-group segregate Thelairoxenis Mesnil. Definite assignment is not 

 made at present. The species is known only from the holotype. 

 senior whitei Baranov, 19386 1408 (Exorista). Holotype o", India: Assam, Khasia Hills, 

 Mawphlang (publ. as Mauphlong) (BMNH, London) [examined]. - India (Assam). 



This species does not belong in the Exoristini but is an eryciine near to Phebellia Robineau- 

 Desvoidy, in which genus it might be justified to include it. The species is known only 

 from the holotype and definite generic assignment is not made at present. 

 takanoi Baranov, 1939 : m (Erycia). Lectotype q" (by designation of Sabrosky & Crosskey, 

 1969 : 41), Indonesia: Java, Pasoeroean (USNM, Washington) [examined]. - Indonesia 

 (Java). 



This species is known only from the type-material. It is not an Erycia Robineau- 

 Desvoidy but appears to be an eryciine. Its generic position is problematical. 



Unplaced species of Goniinae 



cuprescens Walker, 1858a : 196 (Eurigaster). Type(s) $, 'Hindostan' (lost). - ? India. 



(Nomen dubium). 

 dasychirae Wulp, 1894 : 13 (Masicera). Holotype?, India (no other locality) (ZSI, Calcutta). - 



India. 



The type has bare eyes, bare parafacials, weak ocellar setae, no black occipital setulae, 



four sternopleural setae and one setula on the basal node of R i + 5 - It most probably 



belongs to a species in the Dn no-complex of Sturmiini but cannot be positively assigned 



on evidence available at this time. 

 oculata Baranov, 19326 : 80 (Sturmia). Holotype o", Formosa: Tainan (not located, probably 



lost). - Formosa. 



This species has not been recognized since its description and was not placed by Mesnil. 



In the absence of the holotype (which should be in DEI, Eberswalde, but is missing) the 



identity remains uncertain. Baranov's description and key placement suggest that 



oculata is a species of the ZM'MO-complex of Sturmiini. 



Unplaced species of Tachinidae 



lasiocampae Wulp, 1894 : 16 (Calodexia). Holotype o\ India: Orissa, Sambalpur (not 

 located, probably lost). - India (Orissa). (Nomen dubium). 



The holotype of this species should be in the collection at Calcutta but cannot be found
