SUBFAMILY CALLIPHORINAE 313 
(1915) indicated that the total cycle may be accomplished in 
from 15 to 20 days in eastern Texas. 
Economic importance. Attempts to produce sheep strike ex- 
perimentally with this species have generally proved unsuccess- 
ful. McLeod (1937) produced a doubtful case in which the 
larvae developed on an exuding wound, but they were confined 
to the cotton-wool plug over the lesion. Where the species has 
been reared from wounds, the available information indicates 
that the wound was in either a medium or advanced stage. 
Harvey (19384) reported the rearing of this species from a 
man in England. In this instance more than 100 specimens were 
reared. According to Harvey the original site of infestation 
was probably a permanent opening into the bladder made for 
extravasation of urine following obstinate urethral strictures.
