AUSTRO-M ALAYAN DIPTERA 411 



Four 9 , one e/*. Ramoi and Borei Hum, N. Guinea, Febr. 1875; 

 Ternate 1875 (Beccari). 



Agrees well ; compare also the additions by Schiner, Novara, 

 53. In the Vienna Museum there are specimens from Cape 

 York (Thorey). — Odontomijia cinerea DoL 2^^ Bijdr. 27 (Am- 

 boina) is perhaps the same species; the description of the legs 

 disagrees ; the abdomen cannot be called steel-blue. This species 

 and the former would have to be placed, I suppose, in the 

 genus Nigritomyia Bigot. 



Odontomyia sp. One c/; Java (Beccari 1875). 

 Odontomyia sp. One 9; Java (Beccari 1875). 



(?) Odontomyia immiscens Wk. {Stratiomys) J. Pr. Lin. Soc. 

 IV, 94 (Celebes). 



One 9; Kandari, Celebes, April 1874 (Beccari). 



Walker describes a male and hence, the description does not 

 agree well ; but I saw the type in the Br. Mus. and believe , 

 that my female specimen may be the same species. 



Hermelia cerioides Walk. {Massicyta) J. Proc. Lin. Soc. Ill, 

 79! (Aru, Gilolo, Batchian). 



Two 0^; Sorong, N. Guinea (L. M. D'Alhertis, May 1872); 

 Ternate 1875 (Beccari). 



Fresh specimens seem to have green, instead of yellow, spots 

 on the body; hence the mention of green in Mr. Walker's de- 

 scription , which is unrecognisable. — Wheter this species is 

 congeneric with Massicyta bicolor Wk., the type of the genus , 

 I cannot decide , not having examined the latter. H. cerioides 

 has very little to distinguish it from a regular Hermetia. 



Acanthina obesa Wk. (CHellaria) J. Proc. Lin. Soc. V, 233! 

 (Dorei, New Guinea; in the Synopsis also from the Philippines, 

 Batchian and Ceram). 



Four d^, Ramoi and Andai, N. Guinea (febr.^ 1875, Beccari; 

 June, Aug. 1872, L. M. D'Alhertis).
