Cutaneous Myiasis in Man and Animals in India

چکیده
a coloured plate illustrating its life-history, and notes of 40 cases of cutaneous myiasis, will appear in due course in the Indian Journal of Medical Research. As some time must elapse before this paper is published, I thought it might interest Medical and Veterinary Officers if I briefly stated the results of this investigation. On hatching out the first specimens of the fly, I thought it was the common Chrysomyia dux Esch., but on comparing them more carefully, especially the males, it was at once clear it was not that species. I then came to the conclusion that it was in all probability new to science, but that there should be no doubt on this point I submitted some specimens to my friend Dr. Villeneuve, and in a letter, dated August 2nd, he tells me that it is his Chrysomyia bezziana.
