spiniphora ) . 
Schmitz, Monogr. Phoriden, p. 93 (1929) ( Chaetocnemistop - 
ter a). 
This species should be placed in the genus Chaetopleurophora 
as it has a single large, backwardly directed bristle on the meso- 
pleura in addition to the small hairs that clothe the upper por- 
tion of the mesopleura. 
Chaetopleurophora jamaicensis Brues. 
Bull. American Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 41, p. 431 (1919) ( Para - 
spiniphora ) . 
Schmitz, Monogr. Phoriden, p. 93 (1929) ( Chaetocnemistop - 
ter a). 
This is likewise a Chaetopleurophora, but as Schmitz has 
suggested should rank as a distinct species rather than as a sub- 
species. The bristling of the hind tibiae is distinctive; in 
jamaicensis the anterodorsal bristle is paired with the first of 
the three dorsal bristles and in scutellata it is paired, or nearly 
so, with the second of the four dorsal bristles. 
Chaetopleurophora multiseriata Aldrich.

Schmitz, Monogr. Phoriden, p. 93 (1929) ( Chaetocnemistop - 
ter a). 
This rather common and conspicuous North American species 
is also a Chaetopleurophora, with the mesopleural bristle large 
and stout.
