158 THE BLOWFLIES OF NortH AMERICA 
tion in regard to the synonymy of fulvipes as well as of 
wheelert. This information is therefore included. Although the 
range of distribution of these species may well overlap in 
Central America, I collected no specimens of fulvipes there in al- 
most a year of intensive collecting. 
Male and female. Squamal lobes usually white, rarely orange 
or brownish; often smaller than wheelert and more metallic 
greenish in color. Paralucilia fulutpes and wheeleri are very 
much alike but these characters will apparently separate them 
satisfactorily. Male genital segments with internal features 
(pl. 19, E, F, G, and H) as illustrated. 
Length. 8-10 mm. 
Distribution. Neotropical: Argentina to Venezuela and 
Colombia. 
The type specimens of this species are apparently lost. They 
are not in any of the European museums with which I have 
been in correspondence; nor did Aldrich or Townsend find them. 
There seems little question, however, that the name is properly 
applied. 
The name Chrysomya affinis Robineau-Desvoidy was applied 
to fulvipes by Shannon in 1926. He did not distinguish between 
fulvipes and wheeleri. The type specimen of affinis is Callitroga 
macellaria (F.) according to Aldrich who examined it in the 
Paris Museum in 1929, and M. Séguy tells me that it is a species 
of Callitroga, questionably americana. Calliphora peruviana 
Robineau-Desvoidy was listed by Shannon in 1926 as a synonym 
of fulvipes. Aldrich stated that one specimen of each sex of this 
species is in the Paris Museum, that they are in too poor condi- 
tion to permit positive specific identity, but that they are 
Calliphora. A homotype of peruwviana by Macquart is also in the 
Paris Museum, and M. Séguy tells me that this specimen is Call- 
troga macellaria. Lucilia durvillei Macquart, listed by Shannon 
aS a synonym of fulvipes, is also a synonym of macellaria. 
Calliphora annulipes Philippi, often listed as a synonym of 
fulvipes, is unknown to me. The description appears to apply 
to fulvipes. 
The original description of Calliphora rufipes by Macquart 
gives the type locality as ‘‘Java,’’ so the specimen under this 
name in the Paris Museum labeled ‘‘ Amerique’’ may not be the 
type. The original description of Calliphora violacea Macquart 
gave the type locality as ‘‘Africa.’’ Brauer transferred the 
name to Paralucilia, a genus which apparently does not occur 
in Africa. Séguy told me that the supposed type is a female in 
poor condition labeled “‘Amerique,’’ and that it is a specimen
