AUSTRALIAN CONOPID FLIES—CAMRAS 63 
Coxae and legs mainly rufous, gold pollinose on coxae and tibiae. 
Tarsi mainly black. Pulvilli and claws, except black tips, yellow. 
Wings yellowish hyaline, brown between first and third veins and vena 
spuria and along fifth vem. Brown pattern slightly darker apically. 
Calypters yellow. Halteres rufous, yellow on stem, brownish at base. 
Abdomen rufous, black at base of first segment, margin of first and 
second segments, on all of third and fourth segments, and part of fifth 
segment. Gold pollinose over most of the segments, more dense on 
posterior margin and sides of first and second segments and on the 
fifth and sixth segments. Genitalia rufous, partly black. 
Female: Length 14 mm. Similar to the male. Reddish areas on 
head darker. No black on arista. Third and fourth segments of 
abdomen less pollinose, blacker. Seventh segment rufous. Theca 
black, slightly longer than wide. 
VARIATION (in paratypes): No black on base of facial keel, and a 
fine blackish midline on the front in one male. Antennae blackish on 
third segment and arista in one specimen. In one female that is 
teneral, the middle black stripe on the dorsum of the thorax is missing. 
The face and cheeks of this specimen are black and the yellow areas of 
the head mainly dark rufous. Theca and parts of the third and fourth 
segments of the abdomen are rufous. 
Typres: Holotype, male, USNM 64916. Allotype (on same pin), 
Cairns, northeastern Queensland, A. P. Dodd. VParatypes, Australia: 
1 male, author’s collection ex USNM, Oct. 13, 1931, A. W. Lopez 
(emerged from Australian wasp); 1 female, USNM, A. W. Lopez 
(emerged from Australian wasp); 1 with abdomen missing, USNM, 
A. W. Lopez (emerged from Australian wasp). The host in Australia, 
according to label data, is Campsomeris tasmaniensis or radula. 
Remarks: Krober’s record of nubeculosus from Cape York, prob- 
ably belongs to this species. Kréber noted that his specimen lacked 
the dark apical area in the wing pattern of nubeculosus. 
Conops (Asiconops) seminiger Meijere 
Conops seminigra Meijere, Tijdschr. Ent., vol. 53, p. 162, 1910. 
The specimen in the U.S. National Museum is rather small, the 
length being 13 mm. Krdéber in his 1939 key (Ann. Mag. Nat. 
Hist., ser. 11, vol. 4, pp. 594-607), uses the female characters to dis- 
tinguish demezjerei Kréber. It is possible that demezjerei is the true 
female of seminiger and that the female described by Meijere represents 
another species. 
MATERIAL EXAMINED: Sydney, New South Wales, Bridwell collec- 
tion, 1 male, USNM; New South Wales, A. R. Wallace, 1 male 
(determined by Kréber), BMNH.
