Blue Mts. ; T., Swansea. Most uf the South Australian 

 specimens are without locality label and are too badly 

 damaged to make an absolutely certain identification. 

 TABANUS EDENTULUS? IMacq. T. ; S.A., Lyndoch, Blakiston, Mt. 

 Lofty. The South Australian specimens are somewhat 

 narrower but appear inseparable from specimens from Tas-
