joints. In the female specimen (the largest of the two present 
specimens) is found the same peculiar abdominal appendages (and 
almost of the same shape) as in the female of chrysops. In the 
present female specimens of Stenosmylus tenuisWalk. and of Oedos- 
mylus pallidus Mac Lachl. we find appendages of the same shape; 
but none of these species have coxal projections on the fore legs. 
Oedosmylus tasmaniensis Kriiger. 
Stett: entom. Zeitschr. p: 106, 1913; ibid. p. 167, 1914. 
Of this species, described by Kriger from a male specimen 
from Tasmania, was present a female from Mt. Kosciusko, N.S. W., 
taken 29. 1. 1914 at an altitude of 5000 feet. 
The specimen agrees very well with the description, and the 
only difference is, that the five dark oblique bands on the forewings, 
mentioned by Kriger, are not so distinct, but when the wings 
are held in a certain direction to the light, they are very easely 
observable. 
Eidoporisminae Kriger (in litt.) 
Costal cross veins in forewing simple, one or two beyond the 
pterostigma forked, rarely one before the pterostigma is also forked. 
Subcostal area only with one cross vein, which is placed near the 
base. Rs arises near the base of R, close to the subcostal cross 
vein, but a little further out. First branch from Rs arises nearer 
fo the second chitinous dot than to the basal one. Before the first 
chitinous dot four cross veins, of which the basal one touches R 
just before Rs arises. Øs forms a curved line. M forks about five 
cellules further out than the second chitinous dot. M? for a distance 
Parallel with M", The basal half part of M, Cu! and Cu? some- 
what Curved; the apical part of the two latter strongly curved and 
almost forming right angles with the hind border. A curved branch 
aårises from Cu! near the apex of the latter. In the hindwing the 
Stem of Rs is connected with M by a basal, S-shaped cross vein. 
This subfamily may be placed between the Stenosmylinae Kriger 
and the Porisminae Kriger. Common characters for Stenosmylinae | 
and Eidoporisminae are: one cross vein in the subcostal area in 
the forewing, first cross vein beyond the basal chitinous dot touches 
the stem of Rs and not the first branch from Rs, M forks beyond
