DIPTERA OF AUSTRALIA. 

 By Frederick A. A. Skuse. 



NEMATOCERA.— SUPPLEMENT L 



(Plate XVI.) 



Since the publication of the first and subsequent numbers of 

 this series of memoirs a very considerable amount of new material 

 has been accumulated from various sources, including new and 

 unrecorded genera and species relating to nearly every family of 

 the division Nematocera. Descriptions of some of these, together 

 with notes and corrections concerning those previously charac- 

 terised, are commenced with this Supplement. 



I am indebted for much of the material at my command to the 

 courtesy of the Trustees of the Australian Museum, Sydney ; 

 Prof. McCoy, Director of the National Museum, Melbourne; 

 Mr. De Vis, Curator of the Queensland Museum, Brisbane ; Mr. 

 J. G. O. Tepper, of the Adelaide Museum, South Australia ; Mr. 

 Henry Tryon, of the Queensland Museum ; Mr. W. W. Froggatt, 

 of the Macleay Museum ; and Mr, R. Helms, of the Australian 

 Museum. The sources from which specimens have been received 

 and the collectors' names are appended to the descriptions. 



The present Supplement deals with the families Cecidomyidse 

 and Sciaridae. Thirty-one new species are described ; three genera, 

 Spaniocera and Lestremia (Cecidomyidse), and Zygoneura (Sci- 

 aridie), are recorded for the first time from Australia ; and some 

 interesting galls of Cecidomvidse are described and figured.
