This species has the form of a Pseudagenia, from which it is 

 removed by the spinose posterior tibise. The shape of the median 

 segment is very different to typical Galopovipilus.

As noticed by Kohl this species is somewhat intermediate 

 between Anoplius and Cryptocheilus, having a transverse groove 

 on the second ventral segment.

Specimens from Stradbroke Island, Q., differ in having all the 

 tibife ferruginous and the third abscissa of the radius longer than 

 the second.

I cannot see that falvipennis is anything but a small specimen 

 of defensor. 



Calopompilus Ashm. is in my opinion a good genus, unless 

 indeed it has to sink under Hemipogonius Sauss. The present 

 species is not a typical example of the genus, as the cubitus of the 

 hind wing originates a little before the transverse median nervure 

 and the submedian cell of the fore wing is very little longer than 

 the median. The male has no transverse groove on the second 

 ventral segment, but this character seems to be common to the 

 males of this genus. The differences noticed in neuration do not 

 seem to be constant, for in some specimens, including the type, 

 the cubitus of the hind wing is very nearly interstitial with the 

 transverse median nervure.
