sa seta present but very weak; pteropleural seta present; 2 stpl setae; infrasquamal hairs 

 absent; scutellar setae very variable, but always at least three pairs of marginals, subapical 

 pair subparallel or weakly divergent and inserted close together, discal scutellar setae almost 

 always present, scutellum unusually rotund; fore coxa bare on inner anterior half, fore tibia 

 with a row of strong ad setae or setulae along its length (usually also with some small p setae 

 in addition to the normal pv setae) , mid tibia with a submedian v seta ; hind coxae not remote 

 from abdominal base, bare posterodorsally; hind tibia without pv apical seta, with two dorsal 

 preapical setae ; wings relatively large compared to body size ; second costal sector haired 

 below; cell R b narrowly open at wing margin; bend of vein M abrupt, with or without M 2 

 appendix ; distance from bend of M to m-cu less than that between r-m and m-cu ; last section 

 of Cu 1 shorter than m-cu (Text-fig. 81) ; wing veins bare above except for some minute setulae 

 on basal node of R i+i ', lower calypter moderately broad, inner posterior angle near to 

 scutellum; abdomen rotund, dorsally with the sutures between the tergites mainly obliterated 

 by tergite fusion; Ti + 2 excavate only basally; sternites concealed. 



Key to Genera of GLAUROCARINI 



Bend of vein M very abrupt and with a distinct M 2 appendix. Tip of the scutellum 

 with a pair of small fine straight apical setae between the strong close-set subapical 

 setae (if rarely there are no distinct apicals then tip of scutellum with at least 

 some hairs between the subapical setae) .... GLA UROCA RA Thomson 



Bend of vein M moderately abrupt but without trace of M 2 appendix. Tip of 

 scutellum without apical setae and usually totally bare between the bases of the 

 strong close-set subapical setae ...... DODDIANA Curran 



Tribe CAMPYLOCHETINI 



Townsend (1936) erected this tribe for a small number of genera found in each 

 of the major zoogeographical regions and apparently closely allied to the Voriini. 

 The group is easily recognized by having the strong ocellar setae directed backwards 

 (a very unusual character found elsewhere in Australian Tachinidae only in the 

 Goniini and in Leucostoma) and simultaneously having the propleuron haired and the 

 facial ridges strongly bristled. Until now the tribe has not been reported from 

 Australia, but recent collecting has shown the presence of some undetermined (probably 

 new) species in Australia and Tasmania that clearly belong in the genus Elpe 

 Robineau-Desvoidy ; this is the only genus so far discovered in Australasia. The 

 genus Elpe is widespread in the Palaearctic, Ethiopian and Oriental Regions but 

 apparently does not occur in the New World. Mesnil in various publications has 

 referred several species of the genus to Frivaldskia Schiner (=Fallenia Meigen, 

 preoccupied), but the true Frivaldskia (type-species F. longicornis (Fallen)) has the 

 parafacials partially haired and cell R 5 closed and appears to be generically distinct 

 from Elpe (van Emden, i960 : 351). (Here it may be noted in passing that 

 Frivaldskia is the correct original spelling and that the various alternatives such as 

 Frivaldszkia and Frivaldzkia that have currency in the literature are incorrect 

 subsequent spellings.) 



Van Emden (i960) placed Elpe as a subgenus of Campylocheta Rondani, but 

 the latter has a different facies from Elpe and has three (instead of two) stpl setae 

 and extensively hairy parafacials (instead of bare parafacials as in Elpe). It
