The new species are distributed in the following genera : — 

 Stegomyia (one), HuleGmteomyia (one), Culicada (one), Leucomyia 

 (one), and Lopltoceratomyia (one). The type-specimens have 

 been deposited in the Institute-Collection.

 scattei-ed localities, from Northern to Southern Tasmania. Mi'. 

 Twelvetrees has found it, in fairly large numbers, in tlae New 

 River District. This is the first occasion on which the male has 

 been found.
