Emend ments :- A letter r« rived from Mr. Hill con- 

 tains the following note. — "He Hermetia pallidipes; I have 

 re-examined the type with the following results. — The 

 third joint, of the antennae has >ix annulations visible; 

 what I have shown as an outstanding tuft of hairs may 

 arise from a very short and very obscure annulation (the 

 seventh), hut this could only l>e ascertained by examina 

 in ii of ,-i balsam preparation. Tin- groove below the same 

 joint cov( is segments 1. 5, ami 6 m both sexes. The wing 

 of the male is correctly drawn; in the female there is a 

 space equal to about twice the width of the intermediate 

 vim li tween it and its junction with tin- radial vein 



From this it heroines apparent, thai Mr. Hill's sp-cirs 



is placed in its correct genus, ami, therefore, must not

collections which differ in the antenna) groove and other 



particulars. 



Four specimens in the Macleay Museum, from Cape 

 York, also belong to the genus Hermetia, and may be 

 identical with this species. 



Subfam. Sargauin.e. 



Note. — Enderlein renamed this subfamily (,'<t>sar- 

 garinaz, but the generic name was changed on an alleged 

 preoccupation which was not sustained, and consequently 

 the origial subfamily name must be restored.
