 Fuscous haired species. 3. 



3. Face in male narrow, about the width of one eye; 



legs pale red. fnscanus, Macq. 



Face in male broad, about the width of two eyes; 



legs dark reddish black. palUolutus, White. 



The type of B. matutinus, Walker, is in too bad condi- 

 tion for identification ; the face is narrow, and it can possibly 

 be fnscanus. Another specimen named matittimts in the 

 Museum collection is B. palliolatiis and quite distinct from the 

 type." 



Obscri^ations. — White seems to have overlooked B. 

 vidims, Walker, and he states that he did not see B. anreo- 

 latus, Walker. Beth species have been recognised from 



tTieir descriptions, and have been placed suitably in my cat- 

 alogue. 



No alterations can be made under the genus in my 

 catalogue at present, but the discovery of a single specimen 

 of B. fuscavus, Macquart, collected in the vicinity of Sydney, 

 makes it desirable that three names of described species 

 should be reconsidered, namely, B. vmtutimts and temdrornij-i, 

 Walker, and B. consobi-inns, Macquart. B. cmstralianus. 

 Bigot, is undoubtedly the same as my identification of B. 

 tenuicornis, Macquart, under which Bigot's name was })laced 

 as a synonym.
