There are numerous specimens of this very interesting fly from the 

 following stations: — Brisbane, October 10-17, 1916 (H. Hacker) ; several. 

 Sunnybank, near Brisbane, October 27, 1916 (H. Hacker). Caloundra, October

Several specimens from the following station and dates : — Brisbane, March 

 23, 1916; April 23, 1916; December 12, 1915 (H. Hacker).
