28 E. W. Ferguson: 



Tabanus tasmaniensis, White. 



White, loc. cit., p. 8. 



To this species I refer five specimens taken by Mr. Hardy on 

 Cradle Mountain, in January, 1917. They agree very well with 

 Mr. White's description, except that the abdomen is not " un- 

 usually broad and flattened." 



The eyes are densely covered with long, whitish pubescence, 

 much as in T. antccedens, frontal callus broad reaching eyes on 

 either side, without any extension. Wings with basal portions 

 of veins and cross veins suffused brown, the same colour also 

 occurring along the costal cell and at extreme base of wing. 



A male agrees with the females ; eyes contiguous, with white 

 pubescence, facets uniform in size ; frontal triangle dark grey 

 with grey tomentum ; vertex with long black hairs.

Postcript (added December, 1920).— Owing to the delay in pub- 

 lication, additional information has become available in the 

 case of certain of the species treated in the above paper. 

 Pclecorrhynchus flavipcnnis, n. sp. — The allied species alluded 

 to in the notes on this species has now been described as Pcle- 

 corrhynchus dcnqucti, Hardy (Records Australian Museum, 

 XIII., No. 1, p. 38). This may be distinguished by the different 

 •coloured thorax, and the yellow legs. 



Rrcphopsis subcontigna, n. sp.— Additional localities, Marlee, 

 near Wingham (C. F. Pfeiffer, Nov.-Dec, 1920); Dorrigo (T. 

 Wright, Nov., 1920).
