'Osten Sacken states, on page 256 of his well known Catalogue of North American 
Diptera, that after examining the type of Tachina corpulenta Wied. from Mexico he 
reached the conclusion that it belongs to the same species as his Dejeania vexatrix. 
In this, however, he was evidently in error, since Schiner, who also had access to 
Wiedemann's type of corpulenta, states in the Reise der Novara, Part Diptera, page 
337, that in this species the front tarsi of the male have long hristly hairs on the 
inner side, which is not at all the case with vexatrix. Moreover, Brauer and Bergen- 
stamm have compared our specimens of vexatrix with Wiedemann's type of corpu- 
lenta, and pronounce them specifically distinct.
