entirely agrees, as the genera cannot, in some cases, be regarded 

 even as subgenera; while, in others, they form convenient sub- 

 generic or group-names. 



Alcock* retains the following as subgenera : Aiiopliiles (s.r.), 

 Myzorhynchus, Myzomnyia^ and N yssorhynchus. I would add to 

 these the genus Bironella, as valid on venational characters— if 

 it really be an Aiiopheline. Theobald, himself, throws doubt on 

 its systematic position.

This is a common and widely distributed species, extending 

 from Darwin, N. Territory, to Eidsvold, 8. Queensland. 



The male is evidently very retiring, as the only known speci- 

 mens have been bred from larvae.
