150 THE BLOWFLIES oF NortH AMERICA 
Distribution. Neotropical: Evidently limited to the West In- 
dies. 
This species may be uncommon or extremely local in distribu- 
tion. The type series was collected during September 1905 by 
August Busck. In addition I have seen 15 specimens from Cuba 
in the American Museum of Natural History which were collect- 
ed in May and September. 
The extremely long phallosome is diagnostic of the male, and 
a small accessory sclerite connecting the posterior paramere with 
the base of the phallosome is a character not seen in other species 
of Callitroga. The aeneous metallic luster of the fourth abdominal 
tergite of the female is also diagnostic of the species. 
Biology. Adults appear to have habits similar to those of 
aldricht and macellaria. In the vicinity of LaFe and Guiane, 
western Cuba, both sexes were trapped with meat-baited traps. 
Males apparently have a predilection for fresh horse manure. 
The immature stages are unknown.

(By original designation). 
A species with the general coloring and appearance of species 
of Callitroga but usually larger and with elongate palpi. 
Male and female. Head (pl. 2, D and E) width always con- 
siderably greater than height; length at antenna somewhat less 
than length at vibrissa; oral margin slightly protuberant; epi- 
stoma warped forward from eclypeal plane and then downward 
and squarely cut off at oral margin; metacephalon produced pos-
