Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Flies That Cause Myiasis in Man Some may question the value of detailed citation of political units under the heading of geographical distribution, where, it may be felt, general statements might suffice. It is the author's experience, how ever, that this detailed information is often requested, and is much harder to trace in the literature than is almost any other body of facts relating to the problem at hand. The total known geographical distribution for each species is given, not merely the records for myiasis. The lists have been prepared from published records, those which are clearly or probably erroneous being omitted, and from specimens present. In the collection of the United States National Museum or determined by the author from other sources. Geographical names have been standardized according to those used by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C., in the World Map published December 1943 (international boundaries as of September 1, except that the boundaries of Austria and Czechoslovakia prior to the German invasion and the boundaries of Ethiopia prior to the Italian invasion are accepted. When greater detail vvas necessary, other maps of the Society for the same general period were consulted. For convenience, political units were grouped according to the zoogeographical regions of Wallace rather than ac cording to continents. When one political unit falls within two 200 geographical regions, it is considered under the region that contains the larger part; for example, China is considered Palaearctic, India Oriental, and Mexico Neotropical.
