The following species have been described as from Aus- 

 tralia and Tasmania : — 



Promachus grandis, Macq., Dipt. Exot. i. (2) p. 217 [TrujMnea'] (1838). 

 Promachus clausus, Macq., /. c. Siippl. i. p. 208 \Triqmnea] (184G).

To these species is now added : — 



Promachus interponens, Walker, Proc. Linn. Soc. London, v. p. 280 

 [ Tnipanca] (1861), described from I. Batjan, hut now found iuN.E. 

 Queensland. 



Promachus doddi, sp. n. 



Promachus floccosus, Kirby, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 1884, 

 p. 273 (1884) ; Hutton, Trans. New Zealand Instit. xxxiii. 

 p. 21 nota (1901), was omitted by Hudson from his list of 

 New Zealand Diptera, as he believed there was a mistake in 

 the locality and that the type came from Opobo, W. Africa, 

 there being no such place in New Zealand. The type, a 

 male, is labelled " Opabo, New Zealand, H. W. Marsden, 

 1880/^ and is apparently a specimen of Promachus fasciatus, 

 Fabr. 



Promachus grandis, Macquart. 



Type, seen by me in Paris Museum, 12. 4. 11, in a very 

 bad state; abdomen almost wholly destroyed. 



Macquart describes it thus : — 



Black; face and moustache yellow; beard white. Tibige 

 chestnut-coloured. Wings brown. 



Length 12 lines. 



Epistome bordered with black bristles. Forehead with 

 brownish tomentum. Thorax (denuded), sides with brownish 

 tomentum. Abdomen with indistinct blue reflections ; sex 

 indistinguishable, owing to its state. Tibiae and tarsi with 

 yellow tomentum below. Wings with violet reflections. 



From New South Wales. 



But the type I saw has the ivings greyish, veins yellow, 

 with a pale streak on the fore border, the fourth posterior 

 cell closed, the small transverse vein situated at the middle 

 of discal cell. Face broad, covered with golden-yellow 

 tomentum and some yellow hairs at sides. Moustache of 

 yellow bristly hairs reaching halfway up the face, below at 

 the sides there are stout black bristles. Palpi with black
