160 A Revision of the Asilidaj of Australasia. 



HeteropogoNj Loew. 



Linn. Ent. ii. p. 488 (1847). 



Dasypogon bcebius, Walker, is recorded from Australia. 

 Tlie type is not to be found in the Brit. Mus. Coll. It 

 probably does not belong to this genus, in Avhich it is placed 

 in Kertesz's Cat. ; but^ as stated above, Loew suggests it 

 may be a Batliypogon species. 



The following Walker species from unknown localities 

 also placed here by Kei-tesz do not belong to this genus, 

 having curved spines on fore tibia?, and the fourth posterior 

 cell is closed, in line with the transverse vein closing discal 

 cell ; they appear to belong to a genus near Deromyia : — 

 (Egon, ayiimetus, cerretanus, copreus, silanus, politus. Generi- 

 cally similar are carvilius under Oligopogon in Kertesz's Cat., 

 and volcatius under Isojjogun; they do not appear to be 

 from Australia. 



Dasypogon fossius, Walker, from unknown locality, is 

 exactly similar to specimens labelled the same from S. Africa, 

 and is evidently a South-African species; it has spines on 

 the fore tibise.
