Type of B. limbipennis, $ , Macq., seen in Paris Museum, 

 12. 4. 11, is a male, not a female as on label and in de- 

 scription, identical with a specimen of Z>. tasmanicp, and 

 comes from Tasmania. 



The type of B. macidinervis, described as a mutilated 

 headless female, appears from the description and the figure 

 of the wing to be identical with Macquart's earlier species. 



In Brit. Mas. Coll. : type of D. tasmanice, a male, from 

 Tasmania, and a male and female from Melbourne (French) ; 

 others from Burpengary, S. Queensland [Dr. T. L. Bancroft],
