46 AUSTllALIAN BOMBYLIID^E AND CYlillD.K (DU'TEUA), 



Synonymy. — Specimens identified as belonging to Mac- 

 quart's species were compared with the descriptions of 

 Thomson and Bigot and found to agree. 



Hab. — The three descriptions record the species from 

 New South Wales, and two specimens, undoubtedly belonging 

 here, were collected at Sydney during January, 1919, and at 

 Blackheath, Blue Mountains, during November, 1919, respec- 

 tively. In the Macleay Museum one specimen is labelled 

 ^'South Australia."

 1869, p. 480. 



Synonymy. — The type of Anthrax homhyliformis, Mac- 

 leay, is probably not traceable, and the description is con- 

 fined to about four lines. It is described as having several 

 discoidal spots on the wing, and from this character the 

 known species to which it could be referred are limited to two 

 species of Lomatiinse, neither of which can in any way be 

 associated with other described characters, and to a few 

 species of Anthracin^. 



A comparison of the description with some specimens 

 independently identified as Exoprosopa punctipennis, Mac- 

 quart, shows that Macleay's description conforms satisfac- 

 torily to that species. 



Hab. — ^This species, apparently, has a wide range. 

 Twenty-one specimens in the Macleay Museum are labelled 

 as follows: — One from King's Sound, North- West Austra- 

 lia; from Queensland there are six labelled Port Denison, five 

 Cape York, and one Percy Island; eight are from New 

 South Wales, two of which are labelled Piper's Flats. There 

 are also specimens in the Australian Museum and in other 

 collections.
