PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 531 
Division I].—Bracuycera. 
The Asilide and Bombylide have received a considerable 
amount of attention, from their being conspicuous and for the 
most part large insects. No species belonging to Acanthomeridz 
and Senopinide yet recorded. 
Fam. 14. XyYLOPHAGIDS. 
Of this small family two Australian examples of both Xylo- 
phagus, Meig., and Agapophytus, Guérin, have been described. 
_ Agapophytus is endemic, while the other genus is represented in 
Europe and America. 
Fam 15. Ca@nomyIp. 
This family seems to be of rare occurrence everywhere, as 
far as the number of species is concerned. Three Australian 
species, belonging to the genus C/zvomyza, have been described ; 
one of these by Macquart under the name Xenxomorpha australis. 
Fam 16. STRATIOMYID. 
Thirty-eight species, referred to nine genera. From this it 
appears that this family, which is so richly represented in other 
countries, is but poorly so in Australia. Of the more or less 
cosmopolitan genera, Odontomyia, Meig., is known by seventeen 
described examples; Servis, Latr., seven; Stratiomyia, Geoff., 
eight ; Sargus, Fabr., Oxycera, Meig., Ciitellaria, Meig., Meto- 
ponia, Macq., and Zphippium, Latr., by one each. Anacanthella, 
Macq., the only known genus which seems peculiar to this 
country, has also a single described species. 
Fam. 17. ACANTHOMERIDZ. 
No examples yet described from Australia, nor have any, as far 
as I am aware, been yet discovered here. 
Fam. 18. TABANIDA. 
One hundred species, arranged under eight genera, have been 
recorded. The cosmopolitan genera, Pangonia, Latr., Chrysops, 
Meig., Sz/vius, Meig., and Zabanus, Linn., are represented by 
forty-seven, two, four, and forty-three species respectively ; the 
other four genera, Apocampta, Sch., Cenopnyga, Thoms., Dasybasis, 
Macq., and Palecorhynchus, Macq., are endemic, and each contains 
only a single described species. Possibly Ajocampta and Cenop- 
nyga are identical. Zabanus and Pangonia are numerous all over 
the country. The number of Australian species belonging to the 
section PANGONINA is considered very large, and, according to the 
list, only exceeded by the American species.
