SUBFAMILY CALLIPHORINAE 257 
specimens were ever seen in nearly a year’s collecting. The im- 
mature stages are unknown. 
Aubertin (1933, p. 427) stated that all the specimens identi- 
fied as Calliphora praescia G. T. by Van der Wulp in Biologia 
Centrali-Americana are purpurescens. 
Maequart mentioned the enlarged eye-facets in the male in 
his deseription of Lucilia violacea; his earlier (1843) Lucilia 
violacea is another species. 
Phaenicia rica (Shannon), new combination 
Lucilia rica Shannon, Wash. Ent. Soc. Proce. 28(6) 132, 1926;

Soe. London Jour., Zool. 38:424, 1933. (Type, male from

2Luciha azurea Robineau-Desvoidy, Essai sur les Myodaires. 
Paris, p. 455, 1830. (Type, in Paris.) 
2Somomyia semiviolacea Bigot, Soe. Ent. de France Ann. (5)7: 
46, 1877; Brauer, Akad. der Wiss. Wien, Math.-Nat. KI. 
Sitzber. (1) 108 :523, 1899. (Type, female, in very bad condi- 
tion, from Puerto Rico, in the British Museum.) 
2Somomyia soulouquina Bigot, Soc. Ent. de France (5)7:47, 
1877. (Type, female, in very bad condition, from Haiti, in 
the British Museum.) 
As indicated by Aubertin (1933), Somomyia soulouquina 
Bigot and Somomyia semiviolacea Bigot, both of which were 
described from the West Indies, might be older names for this 
species. Brauer (1899) stated that the ‘‘inner facets are larger’’ 
in the type of semiviolacea. Aldrich noted in 1929 that both 
types are females in a poor state of preservation, and that it 
was doubtful if either could be accurately determined. Aubertin 
(1933) indicated that Lucilia azurea Robineau-Desvoidy might 
also be an earlier name for rica, but that the label on the speci- 
men is “‘Saint-Severe, (Lanes).’’ She concluded that the speci- 
men was of a South American species approximating rica and 
not ‘‘common”’ as indicated by Robineau-Desvoidy. Because of 
the indefiniteness of the locality she did not use the name. 
A medium-sized greenish-blue species with the habitus of
