Although the type locality given for Lucilia basalis Macquart 
is America, Séguy and Aubertin state that the label on the sup- 
posed type specimen indicates that it is from Mogador. 
The type of Lucilia giraultt Townsend is a male lacking the © 
abdomen and one wing and ean no longer be identified with abso- 
lute assurance, but the remains of the specimen indicate that it 
falls into the group of species to which sericata belongs. The rest 
of the type series is no longer in the National Museum collection. 
Since this name has customarily been placed as a synonym of 
sericata, I leave it here. Lucilia barbert1 Townsend, represented 
in the National Museum collection by a single male specimen, is 
apparently a synonym of sericata. 
A yellow-green to aeneous- or cupreous-green species (Color 
plate III) with whitish pruinescence, with three postacrostichal 
bristles and with setose metasternum. 
Male. Head (pl. 5, C) width 18.2; length at antenna 5.7 and 
at vibrissa 6.2; height 10.5; length at oral margin slightly greater 
than at vibrissa; eye height 7.9; epistoma elongate, only slightly 
warped forward from elypeal plane and nearly as wide as cly- 
peus; bucea 0.34 eye height, black, with abundant short- to 
medium-length black hair, no pale hair before the suture, and 
with moderately heavy gray pollen; frontale approximately 
three-fifths frontal width, orange red anteriorly, black pos- 
teriorly; front at narrowest 0.11 of head width, 0.19 at vertex
