SyN. Stilbomyia nitidissima Sn. v. Voli. Versi, en Med. K. Akad. Wet. 



1S63 (Celebes). 

 (?) Spinttieniyia fulgida Bigot, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1859 (Celebes). 



Two specimens ; Kandari, Celebes (Beccavi). 



The abdominal silvery spots are sometimes hardly visible. 



Amenia leonina (Fab.) Wied. Auss. Zw. II, 389 (Australia). 



Syn. -A.menia imperiali s R. Desv. Myod. 443, 1 (Schiner). 



Ptilostylum albomacixlatum. Macq. Suppl. IV, 222, Tab. 21, f. 1. 



(ScMn.). 



One </; Somerset, Australia, Jan. 1875 (L. M. D'Alberlis). 



The synonymy is after Schiner, Nov. 316, who had types of 

 Macquart before him. RutUia argentifera Bigot, Ann. S. E. Fr. 

 1874, 464, is evidently an Amenia, but seems to be a different 

 species. 



Rutilia saturatissima Walk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. V, 287! (Bat- 

 chian). 



Two males; from Andai, N. Guinea (Coll. Bruijn, 1875) and 

 Ternate (id.). 



Description and type agree well. 



Rutilia pretiosa Snellen v. Vollenh. Versi, en Med. d. K. A- 

 kad. Wetensch. 1863! (Ternate). 



Syn. Kutilia atribasis Walk. J. Pr. Lin. Soc. V, 2S7 ! (Batchian). 



One 9; Andai, N. Guinea (Coll. Bruijn, 1875). 



M.i' Walker's type has the middle of the black band on the 

 second segment more drawn out in a triangle or point (which 

 agrees with the wording of his description), thorax and scutel- 

 lum are more greenish ; nevertheless the identity is hardly 

 doubtful. I find in my notes that the type of R. complicità 

 Wk. 1. c. V, 28/ (Batchian) a female, looks very much hke 

 atribasis; the male alongside of it (not mentioned in the des- 

 cription) , seemed to be a different species. R. sapphirina Walk. 

 1. c. VI, 9 (Gilolo), tooks also like the two above mentioned
