CLASSIFICATION. 
Probably no single family of Diptera lias received greater considera- 
tion in Europe than the Tachinidae, and yet, strange as this may seem, no 
Ocher family at the present time is in greater disorder. Several authors 
accord them only subfamily rank, but it appears desirable to cousider 
them as a distinct family, although their relationship to the Dexida3 
and Sarcophagidae is a very intimate one. They may be recognized by 
the bare, or at least never plumose, antennal arista. They are com- 
monly divided into live subfamilies, and these have by one or two 
writers even been accorded family rank. The characters employed in 
separating them are as follows : 
Abdomen destitute of stout macrochaetae: 
With only four abdominal segments Gymnosomime. 
With five or six abdominal segments Phasinae. 
Abdomen bearing stout macrochaetae : 
With only four abdominal segments Taehininae. 
With five abdominal segments — 
Abdomen not clavate * Phaninae. 
Abdomen clavate, narrow at the base Ocypterinae.
