Hutton. — Diptera of Southern Islands. 171 



vein only slightly curved backwards near the bend ; posterior 

 transverse vein slightly sinuated. Veins black, becoming 

 bright-rufous at their insertions. Length, 8-10 mm.; wing, 

 7-8 mm. 



Hab. Snares, Auckland Islands, and Campbell Island. 

 Especially abundant at the penguin rookeries on the Snares. 

 The Campbell Island specimens have the legs darker, and 

 more black on the femora. 



This and the following species are very different from those 

 of New Zealand in the colour of the abdomen, and approach 

 more to the species from Tasmania. Perhaps G. tibialis is 

 the nearest ally of G. eudypti; but in that species the abdo- 

 men is tessellated with yellow on an olive ground, and the 

 antennae are fulvous. 



Calliphora antipodea, sp. nov. 



Head black, with a narrow white band on each side of the 

 face below the insertion of the antennae. Antennae black. 

 Thorax and scutellum blackish -blue. Abdomen metallic 

 bronzy-green, with scattered black hairs. Legs black. Hal- 

 teres rufous-orange. Wings colourless ; like those of C. eu- 

 dypti, except that the apical transverse vein is nearly straight. 

 Length, 7^ mm. ; wing, 7f mm. 



Hab. Antipodes Island. 



This species, perhaps, comes nearest to C. clausa, of Aus- 

 tralia ; but there is no grey on the face, the third joint of the 

 antennae is black, there are no blue reflections on the abdo- 

 men, and the first posterior cell is not closed. 



Tricophthicus villosus, sp. nov. 



Vertex jet-black, face yellowish-white ; antennae and pro- 

 boscis black. Third joint of the antennae about one and a 

 half times the length of the second ; arista minutely pubes- 

 cent. Eyes hairy. Palpi long and narrow. Head hairy. 

 Thorax brownish-grey, with three obscure longitudinal black 

 bands, generally broken ; a number of short black hairs 

 among the longer ones. Abdomen grey ; the second to 

 fourth segments with a pair of triangular black spots, the 

 fifth segment with a central black line. Legs brown ; the 

 tibiae lighter than the femora, which are almost black. 

 Halteres fulvous. Alulae brownish-white, margined with 

 brown. Wings slightly tinged with brown ; the veins dark- 

 brown, almost black. Auxiliary vein distinct from the first 

 longitudinal ; the posterior cross-vein nearly straight. Length, 

 9 mm. ; wing, 8 mm. 



Hab. Auckland Islands. 



This species differs from T. dolosus in being darker in
