Diagnosis. Male frons 0.023 (0.015–0.030)/8 of head width; female frons 0.25 (0.24–0.26)/4. Rear of the head has a row of irregular black setae behind the postocular row. Basicosta pale; upper calypter pale in both sexes, lower light tan in males and pale in females; only rear edge of T4 and T5 polished. Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus slender and curved forward, narrowing evenly to distal end; cercus narrowing distally to a point, curved forward, about equal in length to surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved inward, cercus tapering from a broad base to a point (Figs. 40–41).
Distribution. No specimens were seen in collections from the region, but James (1970) listed it as occurring in Cuba. It is common in southeastern USA and I also have seen it from Guatemala.
Comment. Hall (1948) misspelled the species name as “ caeruleiviridis ” in his publication. In Macquart’s (1855) original publication, the way the word is printed in the diagnosis with the o and e joined as “oe” may have led to confusion about spelling.

Diagnosis. Male frons 0.035 (0.03–0.05)/19 of head width, female frons 0.25 (0.24–0.28)/11. Basicosta tan; upper calypter pale both sexes, lower calypter brown in male, white in female; setal patterns on tibia are t1,1 pv; t2 1 or 2 v to av; t3 2 p to pv. Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus digitate, slightly curved forward; cercus with broad base and narrowing distally to a point, slightly longer than surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved inward; cercus tapering from broad base to a point (Figs. 38, 39). Phallus and ovipositor and other characters as described above for the L. eximia group (Figs. 54–55, 67–69, 83, 90).
Distribution. Specimens of L. eximia were examined from numerous locations in the West Indies, including Barbados (BMNH, USNM), Dominica (TW), Dominican Republic (CMNH), Grenada (FSCA), Guadeloupe (CNM), Puerto Rico (CNM, FSCA, TW, UPR, USNM), St. Vincent (CNM, USNM), Trinidad (BMNH, CNM, FSCA, USNM, USU) and Virgin Islands (FSCA). Despite being widespread, this species is generally less common than some other Lucilia.
Variation. Previous researchers, James (1967) and Woodley and Hilburn (1994), have noted that L. eximia -like specimens in the region do not match the mainland L. eximia. I came to the same conclusion after examining specimens from numerous areas throughout the region. After extensive study, only one consistent character was found that distinguishes the island specimens from those on the mainland. In island specimens, almost all of T4 is polished while in the mainland form the front 2/3 or more of T4 is microtomentose. A long series of specimens from Trinidad, which is close to the shore of Venezuela, is like the mainland form. Other than nearby Tobago, it is distant from other West Indies islands. For the rest of the region, the specimens are like the island form. Between islands there is considerable variation in vestiture color of the postoccipital area, fronto-orbital plate and parafacial. Color combinations varied from silver-silver to silver-gold to gold-silver. Also encountered were a number of specimens with a brilliant gold body color. A long series from Barbados initially led me to suspect a new species, but a detailed study of genitalia and other characters did not provide sufficient differences to justify new species status.

Lucilia problematica Johnson, 1913: 448
Phaenicia problematica: Hall, 1948: 253
Lucilia problematica: Woodley and Hilburn, 1994: 13
Diagnosis. Body color dark, with olivaceous green luster (Fig. 96). Male frons 0.02 of head width, male not examined (data for male from Hall 1948); surstylus and cercus illustrated in Hall 1948, figs. 25, A, B; female frons 0.30 (0.29–0.31)/2 of head width. Basicosta orange; male upper and lower calypters orange-brown; female upper calypter pale with tan rim lower calypter tan. Setal pattern of tibia on female, t1 1p; t2 1v, 1ad, 1p; t3 no strong setae.
Distribution. This species is known only from Bermuda.
Discussion. To my knowledge, only six specimens are known. Johnson (1913) described this species based on four specimens, two males and two females. Although a holotype was designated, all four specimens were labeled as cotypes. A male in good condition in USNM is clearly the holotype based on collection date and collector. The three paratypes are in MCZ. I did not examine specimens from the type series, but examined two female specimens (collected in 1934) from the Melander Collection (USNM). This species may now be extinct (Woodley and Hilburn 1994). It lacks the normal shining metallic coloration of most Lucilia.
As Hall (1948) noted, the thorax and abdomen are dark with metallic olivaceous green luster and bronzy reflections that resemble L. graphita Shannon, described from the Hawaiian Islands.

Figs. 46–47, 58–59, 73–75, 85, 92
Phaenicia lucigerens James, 1971: 384
Diagnosis. Male frons narrow with fronto-orbitals touching, 0.023 (0.02–0.03)/5 of head width; female frons 0.24 6 (0.24–0.25)/5 of head width. Pattern of setae on tibia, t1 1p; t2 1ad to av, 1v; t3 no strong setae. Basicosta brown; upper calypter pale with yellow rim, lower calypter light tan in both sexes. Fifth tergite coppery to aeneous in both sexes; this character distinctive in most specimens, though sometimes color can be faint, especially in a few females. A few L. fayeae may exhibit this character, but both upper and lower calypters are dark and this species is not known from Jamaica. Some L. eximia are coppery, but the color is not limited to T5. If the aeneous tergite and other characters are missed it will key to L. eximia. Presutural area of thorax microtomentose except for posterolateral corners shining. Abominal tergites microtomentose to rear edge of T3, T4 and T5 polished, tomentum sometimes stops short of the end of T3 or extends to front edge of T4.
Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus short, digitate, base narrow, distal two-thirds expanded, curved slightly forward; cercus broad base, tapering evenly to narrow point, longer than surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved inward, cercus long and straight (Figs. 46, 47). Phallus and other male characters and ovipositor are typical for the L. eximia group (Figs. 58–59, 73–75, 85, 92).
Distribution. This species is known only from Jamaica (LSAM, USNM, WSUP).

Diagnosis. Male frons narrow, 0.025 (0.02–0.03)/7 of head width; female frons 0.26 (0.24–0.28)/10. Basicosta pale yellow to orange, inner edge sometimes tan. Male upper calypter light tan to whitish, lower calypter light tan to brown; female with upper and lower calypters white. Setae on tibia, t1 1p; t2 1ad, 1av, 1p to pv; t3 with no prominent setae. Body color usually bluish; though the thorax is sometimes green and the abdomen is usually blue to blue-purple. Presutural area of the thorax mostly microtomentose, posterolateral areas polished; anterior abdominal tergites with tomentum, T4 and T5 polished. Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus narrow at base, expanding broadly posteriorly in lower half; cercus tapering to a point from a broad base, much longer than surstylus. In posterior view, surstylus curved sharply inward, cercus short (Figs. 48, 49). Phallus and other male characters and ovipositor are typical of the L. eximia group (Figs. 60–61, 76– 78, 86, 93).
Distribution. Specimens were examined from several Bahamas islands, including Grand (USNM, WSUP), New Providence (WSUP), and San Salvador (USNM). Other locations include Cayman Islands (UCD), Cuba (BMNH, USNM), Dominican Republic (CMNH, USNM) and Haiti (USNM). A single specimen of this species was examined from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico (USNM). It was reared from spoiled meat and collected by H.L. Dozier, Jan. 27, 1936. I examined numerous specimens from Puerto Rico and never found this species again. James (1972) listed this species from Bahamas and Cuba.
Discussion. A long series of specimens from the Dominican Republic is very close to L. retroversa. The most obvious difference is the postocular area is yellow to gold and the lappets of the anterior spiracle are orange compared to Bahamian specimens, which have a silvery postocular area and a brown spiracle. After extensive comparison of morphology, including examination of male and female genitalia, it was concluded the differences are not sufficient to describe these specimens as a separate species.

Diagnosis. Male frons 0.13/6 (0.12–0.14) of head width; female frons 0.37/8 (0.35–0.40); basicosta orange; calypters white in both sexes; central occipital area with 2–5 setae below inner vertical seta (Whitworth 2006, fig. 73).
Distribution. This species is quite common in the Nearctic Region. Woodley and Hilburn (1994) found it in Bermuda (USNM), though it was not found in the West Indies proper. It was found in nearby Mexico and Costa Rica. It is very close to L. cuprina; see Whitworth (2006) for further discussion of characters.

Diagnosis. Male frons 0.026 (0.02–0.035)/14 of head width, female frons 0.25 (0.24–0.26)/5. Basicosta usually tan, sometimes yellowish to orange; male upper calypter pale, lower tan, both calypters pale in female. Lower genal dilation with pale setae. Tarsi with the following pattern, t1 1p; t2 1a, 1v, 2p; t3 no strong setae. Presutural area of thorax with microtomentum except polished in posterolateral corners; anterior abdominal tergites with microtomentum, rear edge of T3, T4 and T5 polished.
Male genitalia in lateral view with surstylus parallel-sided, straight and digitate, broadly rounded distally; cercus tapering from a broad base to a point, longer than surstylus. In posterior view, lower one-third of surstylus curved inward; cercus long and straight (Figs. 50–51). Phallus, ovipositor and other characters as described for L. eximia group (Figs. 62–63, 79–81, 87, 94).
Distribution. Specimens were examined from Antigua (TW, USNM), Bermuda (USNM), Guadeloupe (CNC), and St. Lucia (CNC, FSCA, UGG). James (1970) listed this species from Antigua, Puerto Rico, and possibly Haiti.
Discussion. Both sexes have pale setae on gena, a character shared only by L. cluvia in the region. Much wider frons of male L. cluvia is distinctive for males, see discussion under that species. Females of this species can be confused with female L. cluvia because of the pale setae on lower gena. Pattern of microtomentum on the dorsum of abdomen normally separates females. There is some variation in specimens of L. rica from Guadeloupe that have microtomentum in upper, outer corners of T4, darker basicosta of L. rica separates these specimens.
There is no evidence of L. rica from outside the West Indies and Bermuda. I found this species to be quite common in Antigua from the desert-like shorelines to the subtropical forests in the mountains. Surprisingly, this is the only Lucilia known from Antigua. Woodley and Hilburn (1994) also reported this to be the dominant species of Lucilia in Bermuda.
