INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 45 



A pair, male and female, Buderim Mountain, Queensland, 

 December, 1889; and Glass Mountains, Queensland, Septem- 

 ber, 1889 (Dept. Mines and Agric), 



Ornithomusca, new genus. 



Genotype, Ornithomusca victoria Townsend, new species. 



Male. — Venation of Muscina, but heavier in build. Front 

 prominent, broader than one eye; frontalia very broad. Eyes 

 thickly hairy. Third antennal joint about seven times as long 

 as the very short second joint. No abdominal macrochaetae. 



Ornithomusca victoria, new species. 



Length of body, 8.5 to 9 mm. ; of wing 7 mm. Two males, 

 in nest of Pardalotus sp., evidently issued from puparia therein, 

 Victoria, 1905 (Barrett). 



Differs from Macquart's description of Cyrtoneura longi- 

 cornis, Dipt. Ex. Suppl. IV (2), 228, as follows: Whole front, 

 face and cheeks deep old-gold, including frontalia. Palpi 

 rufous. Scutellum narrowly fulvous on posterior imargin. 

 Tegulse watery-whitish. Wings scarcely yellowish at base. 

 Body hairs black. 



Holotype, No. 20128, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Cyrtoneura analis Mcq., 1. c, probably belongs to this genus, 

 as well as C. longicornis Mcq. 



Austrophasia, new genus. 



Genotype, Hyalomyia rufiventris Mcq., 1851, Dipt. Ex. Suppl. 

 IV (2), 188-9, pi. 20, f. 3.— Tasmania. 



Differs from Hyalomya as follows : Petiole of apical cell 

 shorter than posterior crossvein, bent upward. Posterior 

 crossvein nearer to bend of fourth vein than to small crossvein, 

 its posterior end close to wing margin. Curve of fourth vein 

 approximated to wing margin. Wings not so broadened 

 basally. The wing has much the form of that of Hyalomyodes, 

 but the venation does not agree. Large species.
