48 AUSTRALIAN BOMBYLTID.E AKD CYRTID.E (DIPTERa), 



Exoprosopa adelaidica, Macquart. 



Exoprosopa adelaidica, Macquart, Dipt. Exot., suppl. 5, 1855^ 

 p. 70, PL iii., ng. 4. 



Note. — Several specimens are attributed to this species 

 in various collections, but they do not come from the type 

 locality, nor do they agree sufficiently closely with the de- 

 scription. 



Hab. — Adelaide. 



Exoprosopa obliqiiifasciata, Macquart. 



Exoprosopa obliquifnsciata, Macquart, Dipt, Exot., suppl. 4^ 

 1850, p. 107, PI. X., fig. 5. Id., White, Proc. Roy, 

 Soc. Tasm., 1916, p. 205. 

 Hab. — This species was described from Tasmania, but 

 no recent specimen of the genus is known from the locality. 

 Many of the species of Diptera recorded from Tasmania by 

 Macquart are now found to be from the Northern portions" 

 of Australia, and perhaps this is another instance of incor- 

 rect locality. 



Genus Anthrax, Scopoli. (PI. XVI., fig. 2.) 

 Anthrax, Scopoli, Ent. Carl., 1763, p. 358. Id., White, Proc. 

 Roy. Soc. Tasm., 1916, p. 206. 

 Note. — Nine species described under the generic name 

 Anthrax appear to belong to that genus in its restricted 

 sense. The majority of these forms have been identified 

 from their descriptions in the various collections examined. 



Anthrax alterna. Walker. 

 Anthrax alterna, Walker, List Dipt. B.M., ii., 1849, p. 261. 

 Anthrax alternans, Macquart, Dipt. Exot., suppl. 4, 1850, 



p. 110. Id., White, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasm., 1916, 



p. 208. 



Synonymy. — It appears that Walker's species from Aus- 

 tralia is the same as White's identification of A. alternans, 

 Macquart, from Tasmania. 



Anthrax argentipennis. White. 



Anthrax argentipennis, White, Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasm., 1916, 

 p. 212. 



Anthrax commista, Macquart. 



Anthrax coimnista, Macquart, Dipt. Exot., suppl. 4, 1850*
