the AsilicIiK of Australasia. All 



Length 16 mm. 



Face greyish yellow, the scanty moustache pale yellow. 

 Atitenna black, the second joint reddish. Forehead darker 

 than face. Thorax reddish brown, blackish in the centre, 

 sides with yellowish tomentum. Abdomen blackish, the first

 yellowish. Legs reddish yellow ; the knees, apical half of 

 hind femora, apices of tibiae, and all the tarsi except the first 

 joint black. Wings tinged yellow at base, the small cross- 

 vein about the middle of discal cell, the cross-vein closing

This species is distinguished from Leptogaster bancrofti 

 by its larger size, the yellow base of abdomen, the yellow 

 tomentum on sides of thorax, the posterior tibiae less widely 

 black, and by the situation of the cross-vein closing second 

 basal cell.

All the Walker types have the fourth posterior cell pedunculated. 

 From a cursory examination of the descriptions of species of the other 

 authors these types do not appear to be identical with any.
