Genus Dasyomma, Macq. 



Macq., Dipt. Exot. 2. i., pg. 31, 1840. 



Five posterior cells open, anal cell narrowly open; an- 

 tennae three jointed with a tcn-minal unjointcd arista which 

 is slightly thickened basally ; tibiae without bristles, an- 

 teiior with one, intermediate and posterior with two apical 

 spurs; abdomen conical ; eyes jjubescent, contiguous in the 

 S , widely separated in the $ . 



Hitherto this genus was only known from Chili. 

 ]\lacquart separated it from Lt^pfis by the pubescent eyes. 

 This record of Australian allies to the Chilian species is of 

 special interest, parallel to that of genus I'elerorhi/nc/ntx 

 {Tnhdiiitlu).
