260 THE DlPTERA-BRACflYCERA OF TASMANIA, 



Addenda et Corrigenda. Part I. 



LEPTIDiE. 



Me T o p o N I A, Macq. This genus should probably be 

 placed in the St rat io/nyid'^ , suhia,mi\y Berino:; no speci- 

 men has yet come to hand, so its position is still open to 

 doubt, but there is reason to believe that the Xylophagince, 

 in which Macquart placed it, do not occur in the Austra- 

 lian region. 



STRATIOMYIDiE. 



L E c o G A s T E R. Prof . Bezzi has been good enough 

 to point out to me that this name is preoccupied. I, there- 

 fore, propose in its place the name Lecomyia. 



Odontomia marginella, Macq. The specimen referred 

 to as being in the collection of the Department of Agri- 

 culture, Hobart, proves to be merely a small variety of 

 0. amyrix, Walk. ; no recent specimen of 0. marqineUa is, 

 therefore, known. The distinguishmg character of the 

 species is found in the black femora. 



Odontomyia carinata, Macq. This species should be 

 sunk as synonymous with 0. amyris. 



Odontomyia subdentata, Macq. (Syn. 0. annulijyes, 

 Macq.) A female, apparently belonging to this species, 

 was taken by Mr. Hardy at Geeveston on December 25, 

 1914. It resembles 0. amyris, but differs Prom that 

 species in having the fulvous lower third of front divided 

 from the fulvous face by a black band, which slopes down 

 on either side towards the eyes. The male of 0. s^uhdentata 

 has the face entirely black. This species should, there- 

 fore, be added to the Tasmanian list. 



NEMESTRINIDiE. 



Trichopsidea ^stracea, Westw. In the BritisJi 

 Museum Collection are four specimens of this species, 

 three of which are from Tasmania, the fourth being from 

 Queensland. The species may be recognised by the 

 extremely faint wing-veins, only the two diagonal veins 

 being distinct.
