A Revision of the Asilidie of Australasia. 117 



YieiglibouriiifT species 0. cottoni of the Guas u'^ishu plateau, 

 but differs from that aiiiinal in the more backward inclina- 

 tion of the horns, in this respect resembling 0. moittana. 



The hair is of a briohter and richer shade than that of 

 cottoniy and differs totally from the grizzled fawn of montana. 

 Its wavy t<>xture is not unlike that of a reedbuck. The hair 

 on the body is from .'50-40 mm. in length, whereas other 

 oribis have hair of an average length of 20 mm. and not 

 exceeding 30 mm. 



The hoofs of this species are larger than those of either 

 cottoni or montana. Unfortunately no accurate body- 

 inoasurenients could be taken.

[Continued from vol. x. p. 360.] 



Since the last part of this paper was published in the 

 ' Annals' in September 1912, Dr. Hermann, of Erlangen, has 

 sent me his monograph on the Laphrinse of South America, 

 in which, however, he includes some species from the Austra- 

 lasian Region. The monograph was published apparently in 

 the early part of last year, so that the names of his new 

 species will have priority over mine. The title of the work 

 is '' Beitriige zur Kenntnis der SiAdamerikanischenDipteren- 

 fauna," published in Nova Acta Abb. der kaiserl. Leop.- 

 Carol. Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher, Band xcvi. 

 Nr. ] . 



He forms four new genera for species from Australia and 

 New Guinea (see p. 205), viz. Cenochromyia, Epaphroditus , 

 Adelodus, and Cyanonedys. 



Cenochromyia comprises two new species only, from New 

 Guinea — C. xunthogaster and C. guttata (p. 115). Epaphro- 

 ditus comprises Laphria placens, Wlk., from New Guinea 

 (p. 118). Adelodus (p. 124) comprises two new species from 

 Queensland and New South Wales, A. rufipes and A. nigro- 

 caruleus ; I have seen no examples of these. 



Cyanonedys comprises three new species which I bad placed 

 in the genus Clariola (see ' Annals,' Sept. 1912, p. 357), 

 viz. Cyanonedys leucura (p. 133 : my Clariola nigrescens) ; 

 Cyanonedys lugubris (p. 132 : my Clariola aureafacies) ; 

 Cyanonedys hornii (p. 133: mv Clariola albohirta).
