nr Shanghai, Zi-ka-wei, 29.iii.1918 (in Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, 

 Paris). Paralectotypes: 3 <$, locality as lectotype, with dates 17.vii.1917, 19.V.1918, 

 & 25.iii.1919 (MNHN) ; 1 ?, locality as lectotype, date g.vi.1918 (MNHN) ; 1 <J & 1 $, 

 locality as lectotype, dates 23. v. & 12.vi.1918 (CNC); 6 J, 1 $, Indonesia: Java, 

 Soekaboemie, 1908 (E. Cordier) (MNHN) (four of the males and the 9 with day and 

 month date 20. v. added in ink to the printed data labels); 1 $, China: Soochou 

 (MNHN); 1 <$, China: Chekiang (= Tchekiang) (CNC). Slight discrepancies exist 

 between data on the specimens and that cited in the original description, but the 

 specimens above-listed as paralectotypes all appear without doubt to be original 

 syntypes. 



The lectotype is labelled 'Zi-ka-wei 29.3.18' and has Mesnil's original label reading 

 'Exorista (s.g. Scotiodes) bisetosa Mesnil'. 



Gonia himalensis Tothill, 1918 : 52. 



Described from seven <$ and nineteen $ specimens without designation of a primary 

 type and himalensis is therefore based on syntypes. The primary types of the 

 Indian Tachinidae described by Tothill (1918) belong in the BMNH collection, 

 as Tothill (1922) himself stated. For G. himalensis the BMNH collection contains 

 only one syntype, and this is here designated as lectotype. LECTOTYPE £, 

 India: Uttar Pradesh, Dehra Dun, 7.^.1913 (in British Museum (Natural History), 

 London). 



Paralectotypes: 1 J, 9 $, data as lectotype, except dates 7.VL1912 ($) 2JV.1910 

 [Jasman) ($), 2.UM913 (2 $), 12.iv.1913 ($), 17.V.1913 ($), 30.V.1913 ($), 6.V.1912 

 ($), 22.iii.1912 ($) and i.iv.1913 ($) (all in Canadian National Collection, Ottawa). 

 (The two specimens listed last do not bear 'Paratype' labels, as do the others, and 

 their dates are not cited by Tothill in the description; it is possible therefore 

 that these two females are not original syntypes.) 



Other syntypes (paralectotypes) probably exist in the collection of the Forest 

 Research Institute, Dehra Dun, as Tothill (1922) records that he returned a large 

 set of 'Paratypes' of his species to Mr C. F. C. Beeson at that Institute in 1922. 

 If paralectotypes are present in Dehra Dun they will probably be found to correlate 

 with data given by Tothill that certainly does not apply to specimens present in 

 BMNH or CNC collections. 



The lectotype has the following labels: a label reading 'For. Zool. Coll. on grass 

 Dehra Dun 7-4-1913' (partly printed, partly handwritten), a red-edged circular 

 type label on which Austen has written the name in black ink, a label written in 

 ink by Austen reading 'India: Dehra Dun, U.P., 7.^.1913. On grass. Pres. by 

 C. F. C. Beeson. 1922-148', TothhTs square pink 'TYPE' label, and a name label 

 in Tothill's hand reading 'Gonia himalensis Tothill'. 



Hyalurgus ductus Villeneuve, 1937a : 9. 



Described from an unstated number of syntypes of both sexes ('plusieurs <$, 

 quelques $ seulement'), all with the same data. LECTOTYPE $, China: Yao-Gi,
