FemaU'S and males from the summit of 'Sit. Wellington^ 

 Tasmania. 



I l)elieve these specimens are ]Macquart\s species, th.e type 

 of ^vhich Avas examined by me at Lille in l!J06, and tlie 

 f(dlo\ving note made of it : — '' Palpi witli the first joint 

 short, tiie second long, flattened at base, broad, ending in 

 a fine point. Subcallns fulvous, forehead darker. Tliorax 

 blackish, Avith yellowish tomentum ; this describes it better 

 than Macqnart's remarks, the stripes he speaks of consist 

 of pubescence, sides with yellow pubescence ; the other 

 details of his description are correct.^' 



Tliis species is very prob ibly identical with Diatomineura 

 constans, Walker, as suggested by Mr. White.
