276 R. W. CROSSKEY 



in black ink, and Tothill's name label reading 'Servillia ursinoidea Tothill'. It 

 also has a rectangular pink label with the printed word 'TYPE', presumably affixed 

 by Tothill. 



Spoggosia (Glossosalia) hirsuta Mesnil, 1947 : 65. 



Described from one 9 and two $ specimens, from the same locality, collectively 

 referred to as 'Type'. Two syntypes are present in the Paris Museum; the third 

 (a J) has not been found. LECTOTYPE $, China: nr Shanghai, Kou-ling 26.vii. 

 1919 (Herve'-Bazin) (in Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris). Para- 

 lectotype $, same data and depository as lectotype but date 19.ix.1918. 



The lectotype is labelled 'Kou-ling 26.7.19' and has Mesnil's name label reading 

 'Salia (s.g. Glossosalia Mesn.) hirsuta Mesn.'. 



Sumpigaster sumatrensis Townsend, 1926a : 24. 



Described from three 9 synt3/pes. The species should have been included in 

 my paper on Townsend's type-material of Indonesian Tachinidae (Crosskey, 1969) 

 but was accidentally omitted. A lectotype is now designated. LECTOTYPE 

 9, Indonesia: Sumatra, Gunung Teleman, vi.1917 (E. Jacobson ) (in Zoologisch 

 Museum, Amsterdam). Paralectotypes: 1 9. same data as lectotype (ZM); 1 $, 

 Indonesia: Sumatra, Sungai Kumbang, ix.1915 (E. Jacobson) (ZM). 



The lectotype has a label reading 'Gun. -Teleman Sumatra VI 1917 Edw. Jacob- 

 son'. 



Tachina excisa Fallen, 1820 : 32. 



Described from both sexes from 'Larketorp Ostrogothiae', specimens collected 

 in August but their actual number not stated. Fallen's collection at Stockholm 

 contains one 9 syntype and Zetterstedt's collection at Lund contains another 9 

 syntype. The original male seen by Fallen was considered by Zetterstedt (1844 : 

 1131) to belong to the latter's newly described species Tachina excavata Zetterstedt, 

 and Zetterstedt appears to have regarded only the female element in Fallen's 

 original material as being excisa (although Zetterstedt, 1844 : 1130, himself redes- 

 cribed both sexes of excisa). Zetterstedt's action restricts the name excisa to 

 Fallen's female sex, and for this reason (combined with the fact that only female 

 syntypes can be unambiguously recognized as original material) I am here designat- 

 ing the syntype in the Fallen collection as the lectotype. LECTOTYPE $, Sweden: 

 Ostergotland, Larketorp, viii (in Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, Stockholm). Para- 

 lectotype 9, same data as lectotype (UZI, Lund). 



The lectotype bears Fallen's faded ink label reading 'T. excisa $' (with the name 

 underlined); the paralectotype (not examined) has labels 'T. excisa 9 Lark.' and 

 'F' (the latter indicating that Zetterstedt retained the specimen when he sent 

 Fallen's collection to Stockholm). According to Fallen's description the original 

 material was collected in the month of August, and Zetterstedt (1844 : 1130) gives 

 the precise dates '1-15 Aug. 1813'. Neither lectotype nor paralectotype specimen 

 has a date label, and the lectotype has no place label; the data cited here are taken
