 Conops aurosa. Antennae nigrae, articulo 3tio basi pallido ; caput luteum, epicra- 

 nii spatio mediano rugato nigro : mesothorax niger, angulis anticis macula- 

 que magna posticaaureis; abdomen nigrum, fascia basali. altera ante apicem 

 apiceque ipso aureis ; als hyalinae, vitta latissima costali fusca : pedes testa- 

 cei, femoribus ante basin fuscis. (Corp. long. "525 unc. alar. lat. '725 unc.) 

 Inhabits New Holland. There are two specimens, taken by Mr. Imeson near Syd- 

 ney, in the cabinet of the Entomological Club : one of these differs in having the epi- 

 cranium entirely black, and in wanting the posterior golden spot of the mesothorax. 

 There is a third specimen, which from the shrivelled state of the eyes is evidently im- 

 mature; the colours are very much less bright, and the antennjE are testaceous instead 

 of black, I cannot however consider it distinct.
