SuBFAMILY CALLIPHORINAE 939 
Length. 6-8 mm. 
Distribution. Nearctic and Neotropical: Cuba and Puerto 
Rico, north to North Carolina and west to southern Mississippi. 
The species occurs in Florida in late summer and in the north- 
ern limits of its range during October. It is present throughout 
the year in the West Indies and on some of the Florida Keys. 
Phaenicia cluvia was reported from the state of New York 
by Leonard (1928, p. 828), but no specimens of the species from 
north of Virginia have been seen during the course of these 
studies. 
Aubertin (1933, p. 418) placed Johnson’s species Lucilia prob- 
lematica questionably as a synonym of cluvia, but problematica 
is a valid species and is so treated elsewhere in this paper. 
Biology. The habits of the adults of this species are exactly 
similar to those of caeruleiwiridis, from which cluvia is difficult 
to distinguish in the field. Many specimens of both sexes may 
be collected in the vicinity of Miami, Florida, during August 
and September, where they congregate on fallen fruits and de- 
caying materials. The species is attracted to carcasses and many 
specimens may be trapped in meat-baited traps. The immature 
stages are undescribed.
