of this tergite. The fifth segment is wholly orange 
coloured, its sculpture is not distinct. Frontal vitta is 
as broad as one orbita; breadth of front at narrowest 
part equal to eye width. Vibrissae placed above oral 
margin at a distance equal to one third of the length 
of third antennal segment. 
The determination of the females of Sarcophaga 
is a very difficult matter, and can only be rendered easy 
by exact figures of the female genitalia, and I hope to 
do this at least for those females which are mentioned 
in this paper. Such figures must give the the morpho¬ 
logical details as exactly as possible in order to avoid 
the doubt produced by schematical representation ; 
and this can only be done if (especially with male 
genitalia) profile and face views are made. 
In a very fine collection of South African Sarco¬ 
phaga received from Dr. H. Brauns, of Willow-more, 
Cape Colony, only three species could be identified 
with already known species, all the other were new 
to science. Two of the known species belong to the 
group of the wide spread haemorrhoidalisMg. which 
includes becheri Villeneuve, originally described from 
the Canaries ( 4 ) and a new species to be described 
here. This I name in honour of its discoverer, who 
reared it in both sexes from the larva, Sarc. braunsi 
i 
nov. spec. It is very closely related to beckeri Villen, 
but differs by its golden face and postorbitals, as wed 
as by its greater size. 
These three species of the group (i.) in Böttcher 
(loc. cit. p. 9) differ in the following manner :
