Lencopsina odijneroides, Westwood. 

 Leiicopsina odyneroides, Westwocd, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1876, p. 510, PL v., fig. 3. 



Genus Epicerina, Macquart. 

 Epicerina, Macquart, Dipt. Exct., suppl. 4, 1849, p. 97. 



Characters, — The eyes are bare; the antennse are long 

 and without a style, they are situated near the ocelli; the 

 proboscis is short; the abdomen is bladder-form. The wings 

 have a rather complex venation similar to that of the genus 

 Panops, Lamarck. 



Type. — E. nigricornis, Macquart . . , . Tasmania. 

 Status. — The genus Epicerina differs from the genus 

 Panops by the proboscis being short, and in other respects 

 the generic characters agree. The genus is unknown in 

 recent collections, but it is certain that it will not maintain 

 its position as a separate genus when more is known con- 

 cerning it.
