 Zool. ii. p. G66 (18!^^) \_Pango^uu^^•, Macquart, Suites 

 h Buffon, i. p. 193 (1834) ; Walker, List Dipt. Brit.

 Nat. Hist. (7) v. p. 154 (1900). 



The type was described from Cape Jervis, S. Australia. 

 Fi'ephopsis CGntigua, Wlk., is not identical as Walker stated. 

 Pangonia fidiyincnse, Boisduval, is from New Guinea; 

 whether it is the same as Erephops'is lasiophthalma is 

 doubtful. 



Three females from Mt. Kosciusko in N.E. Victoria, 

 and two females from Moon bar, New South Wales {Mar- 

 grave) (1915), in Brit. Mns. Coll., belong, I believe, to this 

 species, answering 4;o the description by Boisduval. AVhether 

 the specimens Macquart placed under this species are 

 identical is doubtful. 



The wings have one dark band crossing the base of the 

 discal cell and the apices of the basal cells, and the trans- 

 verse veins at fork of third vein and apex of discal cell are 

 shaded ; there is the rudiment of an appendix present; the 

 first posterior cell is narrowed at border, but open. Abdo- 

 men reddish with a black median spot on the first three 

 segments, then usually darker at the apex. Antenna reddish 

 yellow. Palpi same colour, very short; the second joint not 

 much longer than the first joint, very concave. Forehead 

 twice as broad anteriorly as it is at the vertex, with dark 

 furrows above, continued to the antennas. Walker's species 

 has two very distinct dark bands on the wings. E. maculi- 

 pennis differs in the wings, which are only shaded, and the 

 first joint of palpi is dark.
