Daniel William Coquillett.

(Portrait, Plate X.)
Daniel William Coquillett was born January 23, 1856, on
a farm in Pleasant Valley, between Woodstock and Marengo,
Illinois, and died July 7, ign, at Atlantic City, New Jersey,
of heart failure.

It was with great regret that we heard of the death of our
leading Dipterist. There are many who will miss his cheer,
and his help in the determination of their finds in Diptera, and
the United States National Museum has lost a valuable mem-
ber of its staff.

He had been interested in insects as a young man on his
father's farm in Pleasant Valley, and he contributed liberally
to the literature of applied entomology.- In 188 1 he became
Assistant State Entomologist of Illinois, but was compelled
to remove to California for his health, where in 1885 he be-
came field agent for the Division of Entomology of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and continued as such until
1893, when he was transferred to Washington as an assistant
to the Entomologist of the Department. In 1896 he was raised
to the office of Plonorary Custodian of Diptera of the U. S.
National Museum, which he held at the time of his death.

338 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Oct., igil

While in California he did vakiable work in the suppression
of insect pests which were causing much damage, particularly
the scale insects and locusts. He discovered and perfected the
hydrocyanic gas treatment which is used to-day for the control
of most of the scale insects, by the fruit growers of California
and elsewhere. He also perfected a mash which successfully
checked the onslaughts of the locusts or grasshoppers in Cen-
tral California. It was through his careful thorough work that
the parasite of the cottony cushion scale was established to
destroy that pest.

Since 1883 he contributed many papers on biological and
systematic Dipterology, especially the latter, which are inval-
uable to the students of North American Diptera. Among
these are papers on the Bombyliidae, Asilidae, Empididae,
Therevidae, Culicidae and Tachinidae which are monographs
or synopses of most of the genera and species of these fam-
ilies. His last paper of note, entitled "The Type-Species of
the North American Diptera" was completed a short time be-
fore his death, as the result of many years' study, and is of
the utmost importance to students of this order. His work
is to be classed with that of Loew and Osten Sacken in its
nnportance, and his connection with the U. S. National Mu-
seum as custodian of Diptera gave him the opportunity to
mvestigate and study along his special lines with the aid of
the best collection. The work of determining the great mass
of material received by the Museum, gave him little time to
devote to the descriptions of new forms, so that we are now
complaining of his short diagnoses. He described over 1000
species from North America and many from other parts of
the world. His views regarding the limits of species, and on
nomenclature were very conservative, and no amount of favor,
sentiment or criticism would influence him in his opinions.
That he was one of the greatest American Dipterists there
is no doubt, and there are few if any who can fill his place
as well as he did. He was a member of the Washington
Academy of Science, the Washington Entomological Society
(its president 1903-1904), the Entomological Society of
America, the Association of Economic Entomologists, and the
American Association for the Advancement of Science. — E. T.

ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY

OF WASHINGTON.

Vol. XIII OCTOBER - DECEMBER, 1911 No. 4

Meeting of July 6, 1911.

Mr. E. A. Schwarz entertained the special summer meeting
of the Society in the Saengerbund Hall on July 6, and there
were present Messrs. Barber, Busck, Cushman, Gahan, Gill,
Heidemann, T. H. Jones, Knab, McAtee, Myers, Quaintance,
Rohwer, Schwarz, Viereck, and Walton, members, and Messrs.
Sanford and Wall, visitors (and also two other gentlemen whose
names the secretar}' did not ascertain). First Vice President.
Quaintance occupied the chair.

The previous minutes were read and approved.

Under "Notes and exhibitions of specimens," Mr. Viereck
started the discussion of the approximate number of insects by
stating that the latest estimate seems to show that there are
close to 75,000 species of described Hymenoptera, a third of
this number being found in the Tenthredinoidea, Siricoidea,
Vespoidea, Formicoidea, andSphecoidea; about another third,
comprising the Cynipoidea, Chalcidoidea, Proctotrypoidea, and
Apoidea, while the remaining third belongs to the Ichneu-
monoidse. This grand total evidently represents only a small
percentage of species in this order, as the majority of the super-
families continue to yield increasing numbers of new species
as explorations are carried into fields and countries hitherto
unexplored hymenopterologically.

Mr. Rohwer stated that the number of undescribed species
of Ichneumonoidea was probably many times greater than the
number of undescribed species of Vespoidea or Sphecoidea.
The reasons for this are the lack of revisions of the Ichneu-
monoidea, and the difficulties encountered in placing the species

191

192 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY

in the genera to which they belong. The genera of the Ichneu-
monoidea are more closely defined than those of the other super-
families in question, and the characters used in their classifi-
cation are often difficult to understand.

Mr. Schwarz said that the Gemminger and Harold Catalogue
of the Coleoptera of the World, published in 1868 to 1876, con-
tained 77,008 species. Since then about 3,000 species have been
added each year, making roughly nearly 200,000 species. The
number of synonyms is, however, astonishing. The fauna is
only tolerably well explored in Europe and in North America;
elsewhere the work is very fragmentary, Australia being the
only other country where a fair proportion of the smaller species
are known. The next best known region is Central America,
in which the collecting- of the smaller species is practically the
work of but one man, Mr. George C. Champion. The fauna
of Africa is only "skimmed" for the larger species.

Mr. Knab remarked that the conception of the term ' 'species"
differed with different workers and would considerably reduce
or increase the number, according to the standpoint taken.
There are many species which are not so considered by syste-
matists simply because they have no tangible characters for
differentiation; yet when one studies these forms in nature it
is clear that they have a separate existence and are therefore
species in the final analysis. An example is found in the two
forms of Prionus imhricornis, one a large, nearly black form in-
habiting the forested regions of the Kast, the other a dwarf form
of light color and restricted to the prairies of the Middle West.

Dr. Gill said the estimate given by Dr. P. L. Sclater in 1878
(Proc. Zool. Soc. Ivond.) of all animals was something like
385,000.

— Mr. McAtee reported two interesting observations he had
made at Big Lake, Arkansas, June 20-23, 1911, as follows :

There were three or four Einesa longipes on each window
screen of the house in which I stayed at Big Lake, Arkansas.
Mosquitoes would accumulate on these screens each evening and
be eaten the next day by the Emesas. I picked up some
Anopheles that had been sucked dry by the bugs.

OP WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIII, 1911. 193

On a rainy day a large number of Anopheles qiiadrimacu-
latus were found sitting on a spider web in a hollow tree.
Thinking they must be at least slightly entangled, I counted
on capturing them easily. Upon putting my cyanide bottle
near one, the whole swarm rose lightly on the wing, not stick-
ing to the web at all. By further tests I found they were per-
fectly at home on the web.

Mr. Knab mentioned a cecidomyid having a similar habit,
but did not know its name.

— Mr. Gahan spoke of the nesting habit of Xylocrahro stir-
picola Pack, in Catalpa.

Mr. Walton said he had collected the species in stalks of
Sa))ihnais, with a trypetid fly, Eiiresthia cequalis, as host.

Mr. Rohwer stated that Xylocrahro stirpicola used at least
five different species of flies as food for its larvae.

— Mr. Schwarz gave in an informal way an account of his
trip to the Isthmus of Panama as a member of the expedition
sent out by the Smithsonian Institution to make a biological
survey of the Canal Zone. He was on the isthmus from the
middle of January to the middle of May. He gave a historical
review of the entomological investigations made in Panama,
commencing with the old "Herald" expedition in 1819, dwell-
ing further on Col. Motschulsky's visit there in 1853, and his
explorations at Bas Obisbo. Dr. John L. LeConte's crossing
of the isthmus in 1850 and 1851 was mentioned, and the work
of the explorers for the "Biologia Centrali-Americana" was
commented upon. Finally the contributions to the knowledge
of the insects of that region made by the officers of the Sanitary
Department of the Isthmian Canal Commission and the results
of the expeditions sent out by the Bureau of Entomology of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture was commented upon.

Mr. Schwarz established his headquarters at Paraiso, which
is situated on the Pacific slope, and here the bulk of his col-
lection was made, but from this place nearly all stations along
the old Panama Railroad were visited. A longer excursion of
nearly four weeks' duration was made to Porto Bello, which is
situated on the Atlantic Coast, about 22 miles east of Colon.
Mr. Schwarz confined his attention to the Coleoptera and

194 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY

Heteroptera, but he reviewed briefly the salient characteristics
of the more important families in other orders as he observed
them.

It appears that owing to its extremely pronounced dry sea-
son, which makes its influence felt throughout the whole width
of the isthmus, as well as the deforestation of that region which
has been going on since the building of the Panama Railroad,
and finally on account of the operations of the Sanitary De-
partment, the fauna of the Canal Zone proper is certainly less
rich in species than the region to the east and west. At Porto
Bello, where there is no dry season and where the rainfall is
much heavier than on the Canal Zone, the insect fauna is cor-
respondingly much richer in species and specimens.

Within the Canal Zone there are, of course, differences in
the fauna at the various places; thus in the low, swampy
woods which extend from Colon to Bohio, a large number of
insects can be found which do not occur in other parts of the
Zone; the sand and gravel bars of the middle Chagres River
furnish many peculiar species, and so do the higher hills ad-
jacent to the famous cut through the divide, known as the
Culebra Cut. As a whole, the fauna of the Canal Zone pre-
sents a uniform character, excepting a narrow strip on the
Pacific shore, where both flora and fauna differ radicall)- from
the rest of the Zone.

Since by far the greatest bulk of the Coleoptera and Hemip-
tera are arboreal species and show an immensely greater agility
than our more northern insects, our accustomed implements
for collecting proved very inadequate. The large collection
made by him is not yet mounted and no especial notes could
be given at present.

Finally, he remarked that in his opinion the future artificial
lake, known as Gatun Lake, will not make a material change
in the composition of the insect fauna of the region.

Special Meeting of July 14, 1911.
A special meeting was held in Room 2 of the Bureau of Ento-
mology to take action on the death of Mr. D. W. Coquillett.
The meeting was called to order by President Webster. Sev-
eral of the members present spoke of the character and work
of Mr. Coquillett. A committee was appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Banks, Currie, and Walton, to prepare a biographical
sketch of Mr. Coquillett. The following resolutions were
adopted :

Whereas, the Entomological Society of Washington has lost
by death one of its former Presidents, Daniel William Coquil-
lett; and

Whereas, Mr. Coquillett was one of the oldest members of
the Society and had, by his painstaking work, particularly in
the study of Diptera, done much to advance our knowledge of
this group, and published largely in the Proceedings of the
Society; and

Whereas, by reason of the very important work which he
accomplished in economic entomology, notably the introduction
and perfection of the hydrocyanic-acid gas treatment for the
disinfection of citrus and other plants, perhaps the most im-
portant means of controlling scale insects known; and for the
important part played by him in the colonization and establish-
ment, in California, of scale enemies imported by Mr. Koebele,
notably the Vedalia cardinaJis: and

Whereas, his devotion to his work, his earnestness, and his
uniformly kind and helpful character had gained him a high
place in the esteem of the members of the Society; therefore.

Be it resolved. That in the death of Mr. Coquillett the So-
ciety has suffered a very great loss, and that the field of sys-
tematic Diptera has been deprived of one of its most prominent
workers; and

Be it further resolved, That a committee be appointed to
prepare a sketch of Mr. Coquillett's life, including a bibli-
ography of his writings, for publication in the Proceedings of
this Society.

DANIEL WILLIAM COQUILLETTE.

Mr. Coquillett (he always dropped the finale in his surname)
was born on a farm at Pleasant Valley, near Woodstock, Illi-
nois, on the 23d of January, 1856. He was the sixth child of
Francis Marquis Lafayette and Sara Ann Coquillette, evidently
of French origin. His education was at the country school,
and later he taught there one or two terms. As a young man
he helped his father on the farm and even at this early period
was energetic in collecting, rearing, and studying insects. At
first he gathered butterflies and moths and their larvae, and
would utilize his noon hour, after hastily eating lunch, to re-
pair to the nearby woods, where he would secure larvae, which
he kept in small boxes. He bought books on entomology with
all his spare money, and spent his evenings eagerl}' reading
them. Many of his captures he sent to Prof. A. R. Grote, of
Buffalo, for identification. He recognized the importance of
studying the early stages of lycpidoptera, and drew up descrip-
tions of the caterpillars, which were later published in ento-
mological journals and reports. He was also interested in
birds, and prepared and, with the help of his brother, privately
printed (on a small hand press), a little book on "The Oology
of Illinois," Woodstock, 1876. In this, besides the descriptions
of eggs and nesting habits, are various observations on the
insect food of certain birds. In 1880 he publi.<^hed his first
paper on entomology, entitled, "On the early stages of some
moths" (Canadian Entomologist, 1880, pp 43-46). He gave
names to the lines and spaces on the caterpillar, and recog-
nized the need of accuracy in describing the immature stages.

His articles brought him to the attention of Prof. Cyrus
Thomas, then State entomologist of Illinois, who requested
him to prepare an article on lepidopterous larvs for publica-
tion in the annual report. Mr. Coquillett's article was pub-
lished in the Tenth Report, and contained descriptions of the
larvcG of 88 species, mostly bred by himself. The arrange-
ment was entirely artificial, with analytical tables that would
enable one to name the larva without a knowledge of the
family.

The next year, although .still residing at Woodstock, Mr.
Coquillett was employed in various lines of economic work
for Professor Thomas, mostly relating to the army worm.

His report on the army worm, published in the Eleventh
Report of the vState Entomologist of Illinois, definitely settled
some doubtful points in the life-history of this insect.

For several years he had written replies to entomological
questions in a local newspaper, the Germantown Telegraph,

OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XIII, 1911. 197

In 1882 his health failed, perhaps from an attack of tuber-
culosis, and his parents took him to Anaheim, California,
where he rapidly regained his health, and continued the col-
lection and study of insects. He began to specialize in Dip-
tera, especially the family Bombyliidae, which were very
abundant in Southern California. He sent many insects to
eastern entomologists, particularly to Provancher and to Le-
Conte and Horn. In 1893 Dr. Horn visited Mr. Coquillett
and found, among other interesting material, that Coquillett
had the sexes of a species of Calospasta, a discovery that
overturned the previous classification of the Meloidse. Mr.
Coquillett had at that time a very good knowledge of Cali-
fornian Coleoptera. He was also interested in the scale in-
sects and published in a local journal an article on the species
occurring in Southern California.

In 1885 Coquillett was appointed a field agent of the Divi-
sion of Entomology of the United States Department of Agri-
culture, and (except for a brief period in 1886) was continu-
ously connected with it till his death. It was during this
short absence from the Department in 1886 that he began ex-
perimenting with hydrocyanic-acid gas as a remedy for scale
insects, and perfected the methods of its use. These methods,
improved in later years, are still the most reliable for destroy-
ing scale insects on citrus trees, and have been of enormous
value to the orange growers of California. In 1887 he re-
ceived from Mr. Albert Koebele the first shipments of ^^edalia
or Xoviiis cardi)ialis and had charge of rearing them. So
successful was he in this that in a few months there was an
abundance of this ladybird for distribution, and the orange
groves were soon free of the dreaded Icerya. Mr. Coquillett's
share in this, the most notable introduction of an insect enemy
in the history of entomology, can scarcely be considered less
important than that of Mr. Koebele.

During his California residence Mr. Coquillett published re-
visions of various genera in the Bombyliidae and Asilidae, and
became well known as a dipterist.

In 1893 the system of field agents was abolished, and Mr.
Coquillett came to Washington. He was employed in general
economic work, being the first to study the San Jose scale in
the East. Soon, however, he was detailed to study and
identify Diptera, and in 1896 was appointed Custodian of Dip-
tera in the United States National Museum, which position he
held at his death.

His first important work on Diptera at Washington was on
the Tachinidse, perhaps the most difficult family in the order.

198 PROCEEDINGS ENTOMOIvOGICAL SOCIETY

His pioneer work in getting our forms on a definite basis, in
interpreting the many poor descriptions, and in presenting a
workable synopsis of the family will ever be of the most last-
ing benefit to American Dipterology.

He was essentially a " lumper," very loath to divide a series
of specimens unless the evidence was very strong. Adhering
to the older ideas of specific values, he failed to recognize the
slight differences between species in certain groups, and his
summary treatment of the work of others soon brought him
much criticism, which he bore with stoicism. Many times
he was undoubtedly right, but he did not care to enter into
discussion, preferring simply to present his results.

In one of his papers he devised a system of classification of
the Diptera in which he employed the idea of the superfamil}^
and so some of his names will be largely adopted in the future.
He was not strong, however, in the broader classification of
genera and families, and presented few new ideas.

As the scope of the Division of Entomology broadened Mr.
Coquillett was requested to identify exotic Diptera, and he
was able to enter into this new field with confidence and suc-
cess, describing a hundred or more exotic flies. Altogether
Mr. Coquillett described about 1,000 species of flies as new to
science.

In his later years he became interested in nomenclatorial
questions, and his last important paper, on the genotypes of
American Diptera, fittingly rounds out his dipterological
work.

When Mr. Coquillett became Custodian of Diptera the na-
tional collection was very small, unarranged, and the onlj'^
types were Williston's in the Syrphidae; he leaves it well ar-
ranged in large drawers, with hundreds of types scattered
through almost all families. From 1895 to 1902 he donated
to the National Museum his private collection, containing the
types of his early work on BombyliidcO and Asilidae.

In the fall of 1910 and spring of 1911 it was seen that he
was not well; gradually he became worse, and the end came
at Atlantic City on the 8th of July. His remains were in-
terred by the side of his parents at Marengo, Illinois.

In 18% he married Miss Anna Chew Dorsey, of Washing-
ton, who survives him. He was an active member of the As-
sociation of Economic Entomologists, of the Washington Acad-
emy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the Entomological Society
of America. He was President of our Society during 1903
and 1904. His natural diffidence prevented him from public
speaking, so that he rarely attended any meetings, although

OF WASHINGTON, VOLUMP^ XIII, 1911. 199

presenting many papers for publication. He traveled very
little, and never visited other museums for study.

Personally Mr. Coquillett was an ascetic. Rarely did he speak
of his past, or home life, and only occasionally would he dis-
cuss with his associates matters of scientific interest. He was
always on time at the office in the morning, worked steadily
till the closing hour, and then was lost to his associates. It
is now known that he did much in helping the poor and un-
fortunate, and in aiding charitable work.

Quiet and unassuming, he sought no help from others, but
always worked out everything for himself, and abided by that
result. Among the younger entomologists and collectors he
was popular from the fact that he was prompt in describing
new species in the collections made by them and referred to
him for determination, thus encouraging them in making fur-
ther collections of the groups in which he was working. Ever
courteous and kind to others, he willingly neglected his own
work to help them in the identification of Diptera, and his loss
in this respect leaves a serious gap in American Entomology.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

United States Department of Agriculture,

Division of Entomology,
WasMngton, I). C, June 2, 1897.
Sir : I have the houor to suomit for publication the seventh of the
technical series of bulletins of this Division. It has been iirepared by
Mr. D. W. Co(iuillett, of the oftice force, and consists of a revision of
the species of the parasitic flies belonging to the family Tachinid;c,
which occur in the United States and Canada. The desirability of
such a revision of these economically important flies has been apparent
to all workers in economic as well as systematic entomology for many
years. They are among tlie most important enemies of many of our
most injurious insects, aud their characters are so obscure that workers
have had the greatest dilhculty in separating one species from another,
and the result is that the literature of economic entomology in par-
ticular contains many wrong determinations and absolute misstate-
ments based upon such erroneous names. During the last eighteen
years many species of Tachinid;e have been reared at this ofiBce from
injurious insects which were being studied. It has been heretofore
impossible to record the results of these rearings, on account of the
confusion which existed in this family, and in its original conception
this study of tlie group was undertaken in order to enable us to record
the results of this biologic work. The records are now given in the
shape of two tables — one of parasites and hosts and the other of hosts
and parasites — and a glance at these tables will be instantly convin-
cing as to the important and beneficial role which these insects play.
With the clear and systematic diagnoses of the genera and species
which Mr. Coquillett has prepared, any economic entomologist siiould
be able to determine just what species of Tachina flies are assisting
him in liis work against injurious insects.

NATURE AND SCOPE OF THE WORK.

The present paper is the result of several years' study, and is based
upon the lariie series of specimens contained in the National Museuiu
collection, mainly received from this office, supplemented by those in
my own and those received for study and identification from various
correspondents, among whom may be mentioned: Mr. C. W. Johnson,
Dr. Garry delS^. Hough, Mrs. A. T. Slosson, Dr. W. A. i^ason, Mr.
Charles Robertson, Mr. Theodore Pergande, Mr. F. H. Chittenden,
Prof. n. E. Weed, Mr. R. W. Doane, and L'Abb6 Begin. The series
in the I^ational Museum collection is especially valuable, containing as
it does a large number of bred specimens, which, more than anything
else, enables us to correctly judge of the extent to which the various
specimens of the same species will vary among themselves. This col-
lection also contains a duplicate set of a series of specimens sent to
Brauer and Bergenstamm, of Vienna, Austria, in exchange for a
named series of European forms, and the latter have been very val-
uable for comparison with our own genera and species. These authors
returned names, principally generic, of the series sent to them, and
in the-following pages I have indicated these identifications as "i»j
litt.''^ Mr. C. II. T. Townsend kindly sent to the Museum cotypes
of jnauy of his new species, and Mr. Charles Robertson generously
donated specimens from the same series as those from which Mr.
Townsend described several of his new forms.

The region covered by this paper includes all of this country north
of Mexico, but does not take in any of the West Indies. When the
faunas of these two regions have been carefully compared with our
own, many additional species will no doubt be found to inhabit two or
even all of these regions.

HABITS OF THE FAMILY.

Among the fifty odd families into which the Diptera of this country
have been divided, the Tachinidjc is by far the most beneficial. Judged
from the standjjoint of an agriculturist. The only other family that ;it
all competes with it for this honor is the Syrphida;; but in this family

7

only a compai^ativi'ly sinnll number of g^enora are directly beneficial by
preying upon plant-lice, and even in this respect their services could
ill most instances be dispensed with, since, as a general rule, the plant-
lice are held in check by the larva' of ladybirds assisted by several
kinds of iuternal parasites belonging to the hymenopterous families
Braconida>, Cynipida», and Chalcidida\

So far as at present known the Tacliinida^ prey upon living insects
only, and by far the greater number of these are the leaf-eating cater-
pillars of butterflies and moths, a group that contains a large number
of our most injurious insects; and the numbers of these destroyed in a
single season by these parasites is almost beyond computation. Thdike
the parasitic Ilymenoptera, each species of which as a rule confines its
attacks to a single group which in some cases is restricted to one genus,
it not infrequently happens that the same si)eciesof Tachiua fly attacks
several different families of insects, while quite a number are known to
attack two and even three different orders of insects — Lepidoptera,
Ilymenoptera, and Coleoptera. This has been observed not only in our
own country but also in Europe.

At present, only five different orders of insects — the three above
mentioned and the Orthoptera andllemiptera — are known to be attacked
by the TachinidiC in this country, but in Europe several cases are
reported of their also attacking Diptera of the family Tipulidic. The
Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera are preyed upon in their pre-
paratory stages only, whereas it is usually only the adults of the
Orthoptera, Hemiptera, and Coleoptera that are attacked.

The tachinid eggs are attached by a viscid substance to the surface
of the host, and the full-grown larvai usually enter tlie earth to pass
through their transformations. The larva' are of the usual maggot form,
large and truncated at one end and tapering to a point in the oi)posite'
direction. Pupation takes place in the hardened skin of the larva, which
assumes a nearly cylindrical form with rounded ends, and is known as
a puparium. In issuing, the adult fly breaks away the entire end of
the puparium. It was formerly supposed that any caterpillar upon
which one of these flies had fastened an egg was doomed to certain
destruction, but actual observation has shown that this is not always
the case, since in many instances the caterpillar, by molting or casting
oif its skin, rids itself of the egg before the latter has hatched out and
the young larva made its Avay into the body of the caterpillar. In this
respect the parasitism of these insects is not so certain as is the case
wdth those hymenopterous jiarasites which punctirre the body of their
victim and deposit the egg within.

In regard to the possession and exercising of that faculty commonly
termed instinct, the Tachina flies appear to be far behind the parasitic
Hymenoptera. Tlie latter seem to be able to ascertain by a touch of
their antenna? whether or not an insect has already been parasitized,
and only rarely insert an egg in the body of an insect that already

contains an egg or larva of a parasite^ nor lias one. of tliem been
known to consign a greater nunibei of eggs to an insect than the
nnniber of larv.T, wliicli that insect can maintain. On the contrary, a
Tachina fly has rei)eatedly been known to attach to a caterpillar three
or four times as many eggs as the number of larva^ the caterpillar can
maintain. Owing to this fact, a great many tachinid larviii must neces-
sarily perish for want of food, while several which have barely had a
sufficient quantity to keep them alive will be considerably dwarfed in
size, as compared to their more fortunate brothers, and thus it will
sometimes happen that some of the adult flies will be only one-half,
and in rare instances even only one-third, as long as others which were
the progeny of the same parent. Certain systematic writers, who have
had no experience in rearing these flies, lay great stress on a difference
in size as indicative of a distinct species; but our breeding records
have abundantly demonstrated the fact that one specimen may be
fully three times as long as an other and yet both belong to one and
the same species.

TACHINID FLIES AND THEIE, HOSTS.

The following is a list of the Tachina flies that have been bred by
this Division, together with the hosts from which they were bred. By
iar the greater number of these were reared in the department insec-
tary, in charge of Mr. Theo. Pergande. A few additional species, speci-
mens of which have been studied by the writer, are included in this
list. Of the published records, only those are included where the flies
have been bred from other hosts than those from which this Division
and its correspondents have reared them ; such species are indicated
by asterisks (* ) in addition to the names of the persons who reared them
and to the i^ublished references. A few of the breeding records, which
are evidently erroneous, are preceded by a mark of interrogation ("?).

The list is in two parts, arranged alphabetically:

CLASSIFICATION.

Probably uo siugle family of Diptera lias received greater considera-
tion in Europe than the Tachinidie, and yet, strange as this may seem, no
Oclier family at the i^resent time is in greater disorder. Several authors
accord them onl}- subfamily rank, but it appears desirable to consider
them as a distinct family, although their relationship to the Dexidte
and Sarcophagidic is a very intimate one. They may be recognized by
the bare, or at least never plumose, antennal arista. They are com-
monly divided into five subfamilies, and these have by one or two
writers even been accorded family rank. The characters employed iu
separating them are as follows :

Abdomen destitute of stout macrochjetaj :

With only four abdominal segments Gymnosoniina^.

With five or six abdominal segments Phasinif.

Abdomen bearing stout macrocha'ta' :

With only four abdominal segments Tachinina>.

With fi\e abdominal segments —

Abdomen not clavate riiaiiiiur.

Abdomen clavate, narrow at th(! l)as(' Ocypteriua-.

28

This classificjitiou looks very nice on pai^er, but when we under-
take to ai)i)ly it to the specinieus themselves, then the difficulty arises.
In the first ])la('e, in many species the macrochu'ta' are so reduced in
size that it is no easy matter to decide as to whether they should be
considered as macrocha^ta; or simply as bristly hairs. Then again, the
males of several species have five visible abdominal segments, while
their females have only four; and, conversely, the females of a few
si)ecies have five and their males only four. This difference is due to
the greater or less development of what, in those with only four abdom-
inal segments, is the first segment of the genitalia, and as this varies
in size in the different species, it is not always easy to decide as to
whether to regard it as belonging to the genitalia or as forming a dis-
tinct abdominal segment. In at least one genus (llemyda), the fourth
al)doininal segment is so reduced in size as to ajipear as a part of the
genitalia, and thus there are apparently only three abdominal segments.
These differences, therefore, are developmental rather than structural.
If there were differences in habits between these subfamilies there
would tlien be some reason for retaining these divisions, but the differ-
ences are so slight that they hardly enter into this consideration.
Thus tlie Tachiniua^ are known to attack the Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera,
Diptera, Coleoptera, and Ortlioptera, but not the Ilemiptera; the Phasi-
nai and Ocypteriua' attack the Coleoptera, Ortlioptera, and Hemiptera:
the Gymnosomina» attack the Hemiptera only, and thePhanime the Cole-
optera. It will thus be seen that all of these subfamilies, with the excep-
tion of the GymnosomiujTB, attack Coleoptera; that all except the
Tachinin;!" and Phanina? i)rey upon the Ilemiptera; while the Tacihininjp,
is the only one known to attack the Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, and
Diptera. In point of numbers the Tachininre outnumber all of the
other subfamilies put together by at least fifteen species to one, and to
this fact alone is apparently due the greater diversity in regard
to their hosts.

The most recent attempt at a classification of the Tachinida^ of the
world is by Brauer and Bergenstamni, of Vienna, Austria. These
authors, who are new workers in this field, had access to the types of
most of the species described byMeigen, Wiedemann, Schiner, Pondani,
.laennicke, and several by Macquart, and their figures and redescrip-
tions of many of the sjiecies can not but prove to be great aids to future
students of this group. In the first part of their work' they threw
together in one mass the five families: (Estrida^., Tachinid}©, Dexida>,
Sarcophagida', and Muscida', and out of this chaotic mass they erected
Jifty-Jive t'iumUes, which were duly given family names; but this classifi-
cation did not prove satisfactory to the authors, so in the third or last
I^art of their systematic work they again threw all the families into one
and divided it into sixty groups, which they call sections.

So far as our owa fauna is concerned, the species are too nearly-
related to one another, both structurally and also in regard to their
habits, to periuit of being separated into smaller groups with any
degree of satisfaction.

TERMS USED IN DESCRIBING TACHINID^E.

Only a few terms employed in the present work will require an expla-
nation, since in most cases the terms used in designating the various
l)arts of the specimens are the same as those employed in the other
departments of entomolog3^ The term macroch<vt(v is used to desig-
nate the stout bristles which arise IVom a convex and usually polished
base; ihey are regularly arranged in paii'S, rows, or otherwise, and
aftbrd excellent specific and sometimes even generic characters. The
frontal bristles are composed of two rows of such macrocha'ta', which
descend from the very top of the head to or below the insertion of the
aiitennte. The ocellar bristles are composed of a pair of macrocha'ttiB
placed among the ocelli, but they are absent in several species. The
orbital bristles are two or morepairsofforwardly directed macrocha'tic,
situated between the frontal bristles and the eyes; they are usually
present in female specimens, and sometimes also in the males. Beneath
the anteunai is a cavity known as the facial depression, bounded on
the sides by the facial ridf/cs; at the lower ends of the ridges is a
pair of macrochietie called the vibrissas The cheeks are between the
lower ends of the eyes and the opening of the mouth. The antennce^
as well as their two arista', are always composed of three joints, but
sometimes the basal joint is extremely short.

On the thorax the two rows of macrochieta* in the middle of the
dorsum are known as acrostichal, and the uext two rows are the dorsal,
although these four rows are sometimes called the dorso-ceutrals; these
rows usually extend the entire length of the thorax, those in front of
the transverse suture being called the irra^sutural and those behind it
the 2)osts'iit lira I; but when the latter term is used in the accompanying
l)ages it applies to those in the outer rows only. The row on either
side of these four is called the intra-alar; this row sometimes extends
in front of the transverse suture by a single macrocha;ta, which has
received the name of the jnwsKtural intra-alar bristle. One European
author, Mr. Girschner, proposes to separate the Tachinid;c into two
groups according to whether this bristle is present or absent, but in
some of our species it is present in some sj)eciniens but absent in others
that belong to the same species; this character, therefore, is not of
siiecific, much less of subfamily, importance. The sternopleural macro-
cha'ta' are situated on the upper part of the transverse, more or less
triangular, ]»iece located on the sides of the thorax between the front and
middle coxa'; when only one is present, this is the posterior; when two,
these are the anterior and the posterior; when three, two are in front and
one behind; ami when four, these are in a downwardly curving row.

The macrochictio on the dorsum of the abdomen are called discal

30

when situated near the middle of tlie length of the segment, and mar-
ginal when located near its posterior margin.

The veins and cells of the wings are called by the same terms as in
the other families of Diptera, except that the first posterior cell is com-
monly called the apical, and the portion of the fourth vein beyond the
bend is sometimes termed the apical croHsvcin.

TABLE OF GENERA.

The only attempt at publishing a synoptic table, comprising all of the
genera rei)orted as occurring in North America, is that by Mr. Vj. H. T.
Towiisend, in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Wash-
ington ' and in the Transactions of the American Entomological Soci-
ety.^ That in the former publication is a reprint of the table given by
Dr. Schiuer,^ and that in the latter a reprint of the one by P. M. van
der Wuli^,^ both modified so as to comprise only the "North American
genera. As the author did not liave access to specimens of many of
these genera, and as the (characters he uses are in many cases not of
specific, much less of generic, value, the result is not altogether satis-
factory, and I have therefore constructed an entirely new table,
■which, however, includes only those genera from America north of
IMexico of which 1 have examined representatives. A list of the remain-
ing genera reported from this region is given at the end of the table.

In some cases doubt will arise as to which section a given genus
should be referred, but in such cases, at least so far as they occur to
the writer, the genus is placed in both sections:

SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE GENERA.

A linear arraiigemeiit of the genera of the Tacliinid;e so as to indi-
cate their natural relationship is quite im])ossible, owing to the fact
that in several cases each of three genera is more closely related to a
fourth than to any other genus, and in a linear arrangement it is, of
course, impossible to place each next to the one to which it is nearest
related. The following arrangement shows the relationship of the
genera given in the preceding table perhaps as nearly as can be done
in a linear manner. By this arrangement, those without strong macro-
chrt'tcE on the abdomen are placed at the opposite end of the series to
those having tliese macrochiX't;e the most strongly developed :

SYNOPSES OF THE SPECIES.

The arrangement of the genera is that given above. In tlie case of
synonyms, the oldest name lias been a(loi)te(l, since this method is the
only one whereby a uniform system of nomenclature can be obtained.
On the other hand, if we follow the law of favoritism we can never hope
to have a uniform series of names, since the German student will adopt
the name proposed by a German, the Frenchman one proposed by his
own countryman, and so on. All of the synonymy given in these pages
has been verified by the wn-iter. By a few authors the names of certain
genera have been rejected, owing to the fact that the author described
under each of them species that properly belong to two or more distinct
genera, but this does not at all invalidate the genus, since the name
may be retained for one or more of the species and new generic terms
applied to the others. Again, certain genera have been rejected on
the score that they have been insufficiently characterized, but if one of
the species that the author placed in a given genus can be identified
with reasonable certainty, the generic characters can readily be ascer-
tained from an examination of the specimens themselves.

Genera founded on characters peculiar to one sex only have not been
adopted. The writer is of the opinion that in case the females of any
two given species are structurally identical, these two species should
not be separated into different genera, no matter to what extent the
males of these two species may differ from each other. Any classifica-
tion that will not enable us to refer a single specimen of either sex to
its correct genus must necessaiily come short of the very object for
which it \\ as designed.

The following pages contain references to all the species of Tachinidfe
hitherto reported as occurring in this country north of Mexico and
belonging to genera of which the writer has examined representatives.
Only the si)ecies studied by the writer are tabulated; the others are
listed at the end of the tables. Genera of which the writer has seen
no representatives, together with the species from this region referred
to them, have already been listed on previous i)ages. The localities
given are those in which the specimens studied were captnred; the
published records have not been added, since it was intended to make
the present work as nearly original as possible. The color of the hal-
teres has been purposely omitted as of no specific importance.

Types of all the new species have been deposited in the United States
National Museum.

Medina by Desvoidy at the time of describing this genus belong to
Degeeria, there would ap]iear to be no doubt concerning the identity of
these two genera. The identity of Amedoria with Degeeria has already
been acknowledged by Brauer and Bergeustamm.^ Our single species

Brauer and Bergenstamm, who did not recognize the species upon
which this genus is founded, erroneously state that Celatoria is syn-
onymous with Besseria.' Some of the principal differences existing
between these two genera were pointed out by the writer in an article
published in Psyche.^ A specimen of Celatoria diahroticw submitted
to the above mentioned authors was by them pronounced to belong to
a new genus near Xeiera. Our two species have three postsutnral and
three sternopleural macrocha^tie:

Macquart (loc cit.) proposed the name Rliynchosia for the genus to
which Meigen had given the name of Olivieria, owing to the fact that
Desvoidy had previously used the latter name for an entirely different
genus. The synonymy of Rhynchosia and Aphria was first pointed
out by Rondani,^ and is repeated by Schiuer'* and also by Brauer and
Bergenstamm.^ Our single species is black, the frontal vitta, the first

Hubneria, and Apoiomyia as synonyms of Exorista, and ]>rauer and
Berj>cnstanini make all of them (with the exception of Apoiomyia)
synonyms of Parexorista, i)lacing the latter and Nemorilla as sub-
genera of Exorista. Aporomyia they place in a separate section,
Polidea, but an examination of a specimen received from them under
t\wn:\u\o of Aporo7)i!/iafluhia,i the species upon which Ivondani founded
this genus, proves that it should not be sei)arated from Exorista.
Blejdiaridea, Sis^^ropa, and Myxexorista they i)lace in as mauy different
sections, even ])utting ]^>lepharidea in two sections, once in the section
Masicerai and a second time in the section Phorocera. A careful
examination of specimens referred by these authors to these three
genera failed to reveal a single generic character ibr separating them
from each other or from tyi)ical species of Exorista. Moreover, of
four specimens of Exorhta eudrycv submitted to these authors by
Dr. Kiley, two of the si)ecimens were referied by them to Sisyropa
and two to Myxexorista; and of three specimeivs of Exorinta fariros-
trifi, two were referred by them to Sisyropa and the remaining speci-
men to Myxexorista. Tliese authors give Phryxe as a synonym of
Blepharidea.

Our si)ecies of Exorista are as follows :

1. Second and third segments of abdomen bearing discal as well as

marginal raacrocha'ta3 2.

Second and third segments destitute of discal macrochaita^. 14.

2. With three sternopleural macrocha'tie 5.

With only two sternoiileural macrocha'ta', male destitute of orbital

bristles, hind tibia' outwardly ciliate, ai)ical cell open 'A.

Blepharipa was proposed for the genus Sturmia of Desvoidy, owing
to the fact that the latter name had been previously used in botany;
but, according to present usage, botanical names do not interfere with
those employed in zoology. Ctenocnemis and Blepharipoda were pro-
posed to take the place of Blepharii^a, owing to the faulty construction
of the latter name. In the Zweif. Kais. Mus. Wien, VI, p. 213; 1893,

genus of Blepharipoda.^ All of our species have four postsutural

Eutachina was proposed for Tachina under the mistaken idea that
the latter is identical with the genus Echinomyia. Chirto tachina is
given by its authors as a subgenus of Eutachina.' The synonymy of
Tachinomyia is by the writer and is based on a cotype specimen of the
type species. Our species have three sternopleural macroch?etiTe, and
two or more on the front side of each middle tibia near the middle:
1. Apices of last three segments of abdomen shining black, tip of abdo-
men black, genitalia not or only slightly projecting beyond the
tip of the fi^UVth segment, frontal bristles desceudiug on sides

Walk., owing to Walker's statement that there are "no bristles on the sides of the

1 In tbe Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, Vol. XIII, p. 303, Dr. Williston doubtfully refers
this species to tlie genus Saundersia, but in the Biol. Cent.-Amer,, Diptera, Vol. II,
p. 22, van der Wulp states that this reference is very doubtful, since Walker men-
tions the palpi in his description. This is the ouly species, however, from the
eastern part of North America that at all agrees with Walker's description, aud the
fact that he mistook the folds in the mouth for palpi will not at all surprise any
student familiar with the doiugs of that author.

'Oaten Sacken states, on page 256 of his well known Catalogue of North American
])il)tera, that after examining the type of Tachina eorpnienta Wied. from Mexico he
reached the couclusion that it belongs to the same species as his Dejeania vexatrix.
In this, however, he was evidently iu error, since Schiuer, who also had access to
Wiedemann's type of eorjiul ent a, states in the Reise der Novara, Part Diptera, page
337, that in this species the front tarsi of the male have long bristly hairs on the
inner side, which is not at all the case with vexatrix. Moreover, Brauer and Bergen-
Btamm have compared our specimens of rexatrix with Wiedemann's type of corpu-
Icnta, and pronounce them specifically distinct.

THE TYPE-SPECIES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN GENERA

OF DIPTERA.

By D. W. COQUILLETT,

Custodian of Diptera, U. S. National Museum.

The great importance of knowing definitely what species is the type
of any given genus is now recognized by practically every worker
in the field of biology. For several years past the writer has been
engaged in ascertaining the types of the genera of Diptera reported
as occurring in North and Middle America, and the present paper
gives the results of these labors. The rules adopted by the Interna-
tional Zoological Congress, as amended at the 1907 (Boston) meeting
and the later decisions, published in Science for October 29, 1909,
have been followed in all cases.

The following rules or articles more especially concern us in the
present work:

Article 2. "The scientific designation of animals is uninominal for
subgenera and all higher groups." A genus or subgenus, to which
no species was originally referred by name, dates from its earliest
published description or figure.

Article 3 specifies that the scientific names of animals must be in
Latin or, at least, must be latinized. This excludes certain works
where only French or other vernacular names are employed, such as
Dumeril's Exposition d'une Methode Naturelle, published in 1801;
his Considerations Generates, 1823; Schinz's Das Thierreich, 1823,
and Latreille's Families Naturelles du Regne Animal, 1825.

Article 19. "The original orthography of a name is to be preserved
unless an error of transcription, a lapsus calami^ or a typographical
error is evident." The so-called emended names are to be regarded
only as misspelled names, and as such have no permanent place in
the nomenclature.

Article 25. The well known law of priority. This article holds,
among other things, that a new generic name unaccompanied by either
a description or a figure is valid if the name of one or more described
species is mentioned as pertaining to it.

Proceedings U. S. National Museum, Vol. 37— No. 1719.

500 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol.37.

Article 26. Zoological nomenclature began with the year 1758.

Article 27. ''The law of prioiit}^ obtains, and consequently the
oldest available name is to be retained."' It further asserts that a
name, whether generic, subgeneric, or specific, founded on any part
of an animal, or of any of its early stages, is valid.

Article 30. The type of any pol3^typical genus is that one of the
original species first designated as such type. An exception occurs
in those cases where the genus originally contained only two species,
neither of which had been designated the type by the founder of the
genus, nor by an}^ subsequent writer, and an author later takes one of
these species as the type of a second genus, he thereby definitely
makes the remaining species the type of the old genus.

Article 34. "A generic name is to be rejected as a homonym when it
has previously been used for some other genus of animals." Unless
the two names are identical, letter for letter, they are not homonyms.

The following- list contains all of the genera of Diptera known to the
writer as having been reported from North and Middle America up to
Januar}^ 1, 1909, together with their t3'pe-speeies and synonymy. A
few genera, such as those to which no species has ever been assigned,
and some others, founded on foreign species, are omitted in this list;
but as nearly all in this class are synonyms of older generic names
their omission in no way affects the status of the valid names
adopted in the present list.

In the cases of those neglected, polytypical genera whose types
have not heretofore been designated, and which contain among their
original species one belonging to an older genus, such a species has
been selected as the type, thus, as far as possible, sinking this class of
names into the synonymy. In this way, fewer changes have resulted
among the current names than would have been the case had the
opposite course been pursued. In selecting the types of polytypical
genera now in current use, it has l)een my constant aim to select such
a species as would result in the maintenance of the present status of
the genns. The recommendations appended to Article 30 of the
International Code, as amended at the 1907 (Boston) meeting of the
International Zoological Congress, have been esscntiall}^ followed.

The synonymy of the European species and, in most cases, the limits
of the genera, are those given in the monumental Katalog der
Paliiarktischen Dipteren, b}^ Kertesz, Bezzi, Stein, and Becker, a most
admirable work, in four octavo volumes. Some idea of the magni-
tude of the labors of its authors in unraveling and recording the
greatly involved synonymy may be gleaned from a few facts relating
to a single species, Tachina vulgaris Fallen. This species has been
redescribed and renamed no less than tico-hindred and ffty-sercm
times! On this one species alone Robineau-Desvoidy established the

NO. 1719. TYPE-SPECIES OF AMERICAN DIPTERA—COQUILLETT. 501

almost incredible number of two-hundred and fort3^-tive new species
(so-called), which he distributed into live (imaginary) new genera!
And this is only one sample from among the many cases."

In one instance I have differed Avith the authors of the Katalog in
the generic as.signment of one species, Tlpula cullclforinls De Geer,
which these authors place in the genus Corethra^ but which there is
ever}" reason for believing belongs to the preceding genus, Mochlonyx.
The breeding of this and related species by Meinert, his reference of
the present species to Mochlo7iyx, and the confirmation of such reference
by von Roder are set forth in my article in the Canadian Entomologist
for July, 1903. I recently wrote to Dr. J. C. H. de Meijere, the
leading dipterologist of Holland, for an expression of his opinion on
the sul)ject, and under date of September 28, 1908, he wrote me,
entirely corroborating this reference, saying, "As to Corethra
cuUciforinis De Geer, it is my opinion that Meinert has demonstrated
with certainty that this gnat is a MovJdonyx.''^ The reference of this
species in the Katalog is therefore clearly erroneous.

In most cases subgeneric names have been thrown into the synonymy.

In the accompanying lif-t, the writer has personall}^ examined the
original references with the exception of a small number, the data of
which were obtained at second hand, such genera being indicated by
an asteri.^^k (■*). The references in regard to the genera founded by
Clark in his Essay on Bots (is 1,5) were kindl}^ communicated to me
by Mr. E. E. Austen, of the British Museum, while those from
Berthold's Natiirliche Familien des Thierreichs (1827) were furnished
to me by Mr. E. T. Cresson, jr., of the Academy of Natural Sciences
of Philadelphia, and to both of these gentlemen my thanks are due.

Names of genera which are considered valid by the best authorities
are printed in black-face type, but several of those so indicated are to
be considered as such only from want of authoritative knowledge on
the subject. Synonyms and homonyms are printed in italics.^

Although the preparation of this paper has extended over many
years, and every opportunity has been taken to ascertain the earliest
founding of each genus and the first designation of a type-species for
the pol3"typical genera, still it is possible, or even probable, that some
earlier records have been overlooked, and the writer will be under
obligations to anybody informing him of such previous records.

oThe Katalog appears to be very complete, except that it omits most of the
genera of the AnthomyiiiLe and Acalypterfe founded by Lioy in the Atti Institute
Veneto, ser. 3, vol. 9, 1863 and 1864. Tlie greater number of the genera founded by
Meigen in his Nouvelle Classification des Mouches a deux ailes (DipteraL.), 1800,
are also omitted; there is a reprint of this paper, with comments and synonymy, by
Mr. Friedrich Hendel in the Verh. k. k. Zool.-Bot. Ges. Wien, vol. 58, pages 43 to
69, 1908, which I have made use of in the present paper.

b The generic names are arranged alphabetically, for easy reference. An index to
the species is appended to this paper.

INDEX.

In this alphabetical list of the specific names which occur in the previous part of this paper the following
style in regard to the generic names has been adopted: Where there are two generic names in the
parentheses, the first is the genus in which the species was originally described and the second is the genus
of which it is the type; the second generic is in italics if the genus is a synonym and in black face if it is a
valid one. Where there is only one generic name within the parentheses it signifies that the species was
originally described in, and is the type of, that genus; if the name is in italics it is a synomyn; if in black
face the genus is valid.

the Mexican line runs, and I believe that this will be the southern record
of this species in our fauna for all time. Z re A? has been recorded from
Mt. Graham, in Graham County, and has also been found in the
Chiricahua Mountains. It doubtless occurs in all the ranges of Southern
Arizona. Though it is well distributed, ranging from Quebec south to
West Virginia, and west to Montana, from whence it comes south to
Sonora, it seems to be everywhere local and scarce. Arizona Theclas
have been very much not in evidence this year. The first broods of
blenina Hewitson, heta Edwards and sf>tnetonitn Boisduval have been
unduly scanty. Apama Edwards and melinus Hubner, however, were
quite common. Of ines Edwards, usually an abundant species, I have
only taken four or five examples. But two specimens of halesiis have
been seen, both in the Santa Rita Mountains. Dr. Holland (Butt. Book,
p. 239) states that the larva of halesus is said to feed on various oaks.
The food-plant, however, is mistletoe, upon which I have found eggs.
T. crysalus Edwards has not appeared as yet (July). I can see no need
of retaining citima Hy. Edwards in our catalogues as a variety oi crysalus,
since it is only an individual variant. What Mr. W. G. Wright, in his
Butterflies of the West Coast, PI. XXVII, figs. 322, b and c, figures as T.
spinetortim is certainly not that species, but one of the Ijicisalias, a group
that badly needs thorough revising. T. chalets Behr. seems to be a pure
synonym ol s(?pium Boisduval. — [Karl R. Coolidge, Pasadena, Cal.

CORRECTIONS TO MY PAPER ON THE TYPE SPECIES OF
THE NORTH AMERICAN GENERA OF DIPTERA.

BY D. W. COQUILLETT, WASHINGTON, D. C.

The paper referred to in the above heading was submitted for publi-
cation on May 11, 1909. During the long interval that elapsed before its
publication on August 4, 19 10, several articles bearing more or less on
this subject appeared in print, necessitating several changes. Some of
these, of minor importance, were made in the proof-sheets, but others were
too extended to permit of being incorporated in this manner. These and
a few others to which my attention has been called, are brought together
in the following notes. I desire to express my thanks to Messrs. C. W.
Johnson and O. A. Johannsen for calling my attention to several of these
errors and omissions.

the face is bare, and his statement is confirmed by an examination of a

a synonym of Chorisops Rondani, 1856. In the type species of the latter
the palpi are minute and contained in the oral cavity, whereas in spiniger
they are enormously developed, projecting half their length beyond the
oral margin.)

Page 600, Rhy7ichocephahis. (Verrall, in his British Flies, Vol. 5,
1909, p. 445, separates this genus from Nemestrina by a character not
used by previous writers — the presence of a vein between the third and
fifth posterior cells in the latter genus and its absence in the former ; but
the one employed by Rondani, Schiner and later continental writers — the
multiplicity of accessory cells in the wings of Nemestri7ia, and their
absence in those of the other genus — is a far better character.)
