SUBFAMILY CHRYSOMYINAE 159 
of Paralucilia fulvipes. I have not seen specimens of fulvipes 
from Mexico. In view of this situation, the placement of Mac- 
quart’s name as a synonym of fulvipes must be questioned. The 
name being preoccupied, cyanicolor was proposed by Rondani 
to replace it. Aldrich saw the supposed type of Calliphora 
tibialis Macquart in the Paris Museum and he considered it to be 
a specimen of Callitroga macellaria (F.) but, according to Séguy, 
it is fulvipes. 
Blanchard’s and Macquart’s fulvipes were identical. The 
latter author described the Gay dipterous material. Schiner 
stated that he had a Macquart type of fulvipes in his collection; 
others were sent to him and at least three males from Chile were 
determined by comparison with the Macquart type. This is the 
series upon which Paralucilia was based. | 
Biology. The habits and immature stages of this species are 
similar to those of Paralucilia wheelert. Adults collected near 
Cochabamba, Bolivia, during June, 1948, had habits indis- 
tinguishable from those of wheelert. 
TRIBE PHORMIINI 
(Black blowflies) 
The tribe Phormiini includes black and dark blue or olivaceous 
green flies (Color plate II) which differ from the species belong- 
ing to the Chrysomyini as follows: The posterior coxa is bare pos- 
teriorly; most of the species have two presupraalar bristles; and 
the larvae of members of this tribe have a definite ‘‘button’’ in 
the postspiracular plate.
