(2) "A closely allied (if not identical) species "^ 

 from the same species of locust from RiehiiKmd, 

 New South Wales (Froggatt, 1905) ; 



(3) S. aurifrons ]\Iacq. recorded by Froggatt (1905. 

 1907) as having been bred from the same species 

 from Queanbeyan and Cooma. New South 

 Wales ; 



(4) S. oedipocke (Olliff) from CJiortoicftes tennini- 

 fera. 



The first-named is more fully described in the present 

 paper. An examination of Mr. Froggatt 's collection shows 

 that the specimens referred to under No. 2 belong to 

 5. peregrina; while his material '^8. aurifrons" from 

 Queanbeyan belongs to S. depressa. In regard to No. 4. 

 Olliff, in writing of the parasites of locusts, gave the name 

 Tachina oedipodce to a species "larger and more brightly 

 coloured" than Skuse's Masicera pachytyli. This is the 

 only description, though Froggatt in 1907 referred to the 

 fly as a Sarcophaga. As we have pointed out (1922, p. 176), 

 the name has no standing. The single specimen in Mr. 

 Froggatt 's collection was examined by us. It is not a 

 member of the Sarcophagida^, but has the general appear- 

 ance of the Tachinid E.mrista, though the arista is more- 

 like that of a ]\Iuscid.

 the pin states that th(^ larva entered the soil on 5th jMareh,
