[Dermatobia cyaniventris, Macquart, 1843, is said not to be the same as noxialis (vide Brauer, “Mono. Oestriden,” 1863, p. 266). It is known by various other names, as nuche or gusano in New Granada, the ura in Brazil, and the macaw fly in Cayenne. It occurs in Central and South America and the West Indies. According to Goudot the fly is found in great numbers on the borders of large woods and lands covered with underwood.
