(Text-figures 1 and 2.) 



As far as we are aware the whole of the literature 

 relating to known Australian Sarcophagidit is referred 

 to in our two papers (1921. 1922). In the present contri- 

 bution we have described a new genus and several new 

 species, and have added additional locality records for 

 many previously known forms. 



The present paper is based mainly on specimens con- 

 tained in the collections of the Queensland Museum, Bris- 

 bane, the Government Entomologist of New South AVales 

 (Mr. W. W. Froggatt), and Dr. E. W. Ferguson, Health 

 Department, Sydney. To these two entomologists and to 

 Mr. H. A. Longman, Director of the Queensland ^Museum, 

 we tender our thanks for the opportunity to examine the 

 material referred to. The collection of ]Mr. Froggatt con- 

 si.sted of named and unnamed Hies from various parts of 

 Australia, and through his generosity in placing it at our 

 disposal we have been enabled to clear up some synonymy. 

 The abbreviations Q.:\l.. W.W.F.. and E.W.F. are used in 

 connection with locality records to indi;-ate the three 

 collections respectively. 



i\lr. H. Hacker of the Queensland ^luseum has kindly 

 assisted us by re-examining, at our request, type material 

 of some of our previously described species.
