This species seems to have been quite overlooked by recent workers in Australian 

 Tabanidaf. The tyjje had the antennae broken when described, which leaves some

 other hand there are other instances where South American genera have been re- 

 corded also from Australia. 



The descriptioji does not tit any species known to us.
