74 AUSTRALIAN BOMBYLIID.E AND CYKTID.E (dIPTERA), 



Bombylius ruhriventris, Bigot. 



Bombylius ruhriventris. Bigot, Ann. Ent. Soc. France (7), 

 Ixi., 1892, p. 365. 



Note. — This species was described from Sydney, but two 

 specimens from King George's Sound agree rather well with 

 Bigot's description and belong to or near this species. There 

 are six specimens in the Macleay Museum which belong to 

 or near here, and these are labelled from Cape York, 

 Queensland; another specimen is from South Australia. 

 These specimens range from 10 mm. long, and have a yellow- 

 ish pubescence on a reddish ground colour and a black stripe 

 on the abdomen. The thorax is black on the specimens in the 

 Macleay Museum.

 Newcastle. 



Note. — This species is represented by two male speci- 

 mens, numbered 234 and 235, in Dr. Ferguson's collection, 

 and they were named by White as B. hilaris. Walker, but 

 they differ from Walker's species in the wing markings. 

 Three further specimens are in the Macleay Museum.
