Hah. — Swan River, Western Australia. Hopean Mus. Oxford. 



Ohs. — Length 21 mm. ; the number of antennal joints is 32 

 (Osten-Sacken). 



Section V. ANISOMERINA. 



" Two sub-marginal cells (only one in Cladolipes) ; three, four, 

 or five posterior cells ; discal cell closed or open ; sub-costal cross- 

 vein near the tip of the auxiliary vein, posterior to the origin of 

 the second vein. Eyes glabrous. The normal number of the 

 antennal joints is six in the male and not more than ten in the 

 female. Tibiae with spurs at the tip ; empodia distinct ; ungues 

 generally smooth." (Osten-Sacken.) 



Obs. — This section embraces only four genera, Anisomera, Meig., 

 Cladolipes^ Loew, FeniJwptera, Schiner, Eriocera., Macq. ; the 

 first three occur in Europe and N. America, and the last one pre- 

 dominates in tropical America, Asia, and Africa. No Australian 

 examples have yet been recorded. 



Section VI. AMALOPINA. 



"Two sub-marginal cells; four or five posterior cells; discal 

 cell closed or open ; sub-costal cross-vein far reinoved from the tip 

 of the auxiliary vein and anterior to the origin of the second longi- 

 tudinal vein. Tibiae with spurs at the tip ; empodia distinct. 

 Eyes pubescent ; front usually with a more or less distinct gibbo- 

 sity. Normal number of antennal joints sixteeii or thirteen.^^ 

 (Osten-Sacken). 



Six genera belong here. Four of these are common to Europe 

 and America, and two are known only in N. America ; and besides 

 the European and American representatives of this section, the
