Myiolucilia fulvinota (Bigot), new combination 
Somomyia fulvinota Bigot, Soe. Ent. de France Ann. (5)7:251, 
1877. (Type, female from Mexico, in the British Museum.) 
Paralucilia fulvipes (Macquart) Brauer and Bergenstamm, 
Zweifliigler des Kaiserlichen Museums zu Wien, vol. 5, no.

Chrysomya desvoidyt Hough, Kans. Univ. Quart. 9 :208, 1900. 
(Type, male from Chapada, Brazil, in the American Museum 
of Natural History.) New synonymy. 
Paralucilia brauert Townsend, Insecutor Inscitiae Menstruus 
4:11, 1916; Rev. de Ent. 1:70, 1931; Manual of Myiology, 
vol. 2, p. 163, 1934; Manual of Myiology, vol. 5, p. 129, 1937. 
(Type, female from Chile, in Vienna.) New synonymy. 
Similar to lyrcea Walker, but with the dorsum of the thorax 
somewhat shining or with two faint longitudinal, middorsal 
stripes; mesothoracic spiracle with brown hair; bueca brown, 
thinly whitish yellow pollinose, with tawny whitish hair. 
Internal morphological features of male genitalia (pl. 16, A) 
as illustrated. 
Distribution. Neotropical: Mexico southward to Brazil. 
Although the species seems to be generally distributed, it is 
abundant only from the southern portion of Central America 
toward Ecuador and the Guianas. 
Biology. In nature, the habits of the adults of fulvinota are 
very similar to those of Callitroga macellaria. They are attracted 
to carrion and both sexes may be easily trapped with a decaying- 
meat bait. The immature stages are unknown. 
Mr. Smart informs me that Walker’s type specimen shows 
little or no indication of longitudinal striping on the dorsum of 
the thorax, but that is not unusual in this species. The illumina- 
tion must be very favorable or the stripes are not apparent. 
Aldrich indicated in his notes and also in correspondence with 
Aubertin that he considered fulvinota a synonym of Paralucilia 
callipes (Bigot). This is an error. The latter name is a synonym 
of Mytolucilia lyrcea (Walker), a prior name for the species com- 
monly known in North America as Paralucilia desvoidyi 
(Hough). 
Hough’s type of desvoidy: and a series of about 80 specimens 
collected in British Guiana are in the American Museum of 
Natural History. The bodies of these are shining blue. The
