Type of B. limbipennis, ? , Macq,, seeu in Paris Museum, 

 12, 4. 11, is a naale, not a female as on label and in de- 

 scription, identical with a specimen of D. tasmanice, and 

 comes from Tasmania. 



The type of B. maculinervis, described as a mutilated 

 headless female, appears from the description and the figure 

 of the wing to be idetitioal with Macquart's earlier species. 



In Brit. Mus. Coll. : type of D. tasmanice, a male, from 

 Tasmania, and a male and female from Melbourne (French) ; 

 others from Burpengary, S. Queensland {Dr. T. L. Bancroft),
