TACHINIDAE OF ORIENTAL REGION 307 



resemblance to Australian Winthemia and its probable conspecificity with lateralis. 

 The holotype is in excellent condition (except for loss of the left fore leg from the 

 trochanter); it bears a small rectangular purple-edged label without inscription, 

 a label reading 'trichopareia [by hand] Alte Sammlung [in print]', a label reading 

 'Chaetolyga [by hand] det. B. B. [in print]' and a handwritten label in purple ink 

 reading TV. Chaetolyga'. 



p. 147. Year date for decipiens Walker (bottom line) should be 1858 (see annota- 

 tion under p. 193 below). 



p. 148. Year date for Euvespivora decipiens (Walker) (top line) should be 1858 

 (see annotation under p. 193 below). 



p. 150. Year date for Palexorista solennis Walker (lines 9 and 28) should be 

 1858 (see annotation under p. 193 below). 



p. 151. Sisyropa taylori (Curran). Wider study of the genus Sisyropa for 

 the present work has shown that taylori Curran is a new synonym of prominens 

 Walker. The name Sisyropa prominens (Walker, 1859), should be substituted for 

 5. taylori Curran in accordance with the synonymy established on p. 242 of this 

 paper. Distribution data for the species involved should be accordingly expanded 

 to include Oriental Region, New Britain and Bougainville. 



p. 166. Delete Exorista trichopareia and Rhinomyobia australis from the list 

 of missing types. 



p. 172. In host list under Acemyini include the acridid Monistria pustulifera as 

 a new host for Ceracia sp. 



p. 175. In host list under Palpostomatini insert 'sensu auct.' after Palpostoma 

 testaceum, as the identity of the true testaceum is uncertain and the host records 

 most probably relate to P. aldrichi. 



p. 176. In host list under Phasiini add Nysius clevelandensis (HEM., Lygaeidae) 

 as a host of Ahphora lepidofera. 



p. 177. The sturmiine species Ugimeigenia elzneri Townsend was omitted from 

 the host list as no material had been seen to substantiate the published record 

 (see Review of Applied Entomology, A, 1938, 26 : 151) of its parasitizing Dermolepida 

 albohirta W'aterhouse. The identity of the tachinid should be confirmed if material 

 from the rearing is rediscovered. 



p. 179. Add 'sensu auct.' after each entry of Palpostoma testaceum in the right- 

 hand column under Scarabaeidae for the reason stated under p. 175 above. 



p. 179. Under Hemiptera Lygaeidae add Nysius clevelandensis Evans to the 

 host column and its parasite Ahphora lepidofera to the tachinid column. 



p. 185. Under Orthoptera Acrididae add Monistria pustulifera Walker to the 

 host column and its parasite Ceracia sp. to the tachinid column. 



p. 193. In references to works of F. Walker change the year date entry 1859 

 to 1858, as it has now been found that this work (though dated 1859 on the title- 

 page of the journal containing it) was actually issued on i.xi.1858. Attention 

 is specially drawn here to a recently discovered problem concerning the publication 

 dates of Walker's works in which he described Diptera collected by A. R. Wallace 

 in Malaya and the south-east Asian Archipelago. These works were published 

 in the Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society and are usually dated by
