NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FLIES OF THE FAMILY 
CONOPIDAE 
By Smney Camras 
This paper is based on material from the U.S. National Museum 
(USNM) and the British Museum (Natural History)—(BMNH), 
made available through the interest and courtesy of C. W. Sabrosky, 
H. Oldroyd, and R. L. Coe. Altogether, 8 genera (1 of which is new) 
and 26 species (12 of which are new) are represented in the material 
of both of these institutions. The material from the U.S. National 
Museum is mainly from the Malloch collection, and most of the 
specimens were apparently collected by J. D. Bridwell at Sydney, 
New South Wales. This collection contained the first species of 
Thecophora (=Occemyia) described from the Australasian Region 
in 1955 (see T. australiana, p. 76).
