TACHINIDAE OF AUSTRALIA 8c, 



Key to Australian Genera of Winthemiini 



Parafacials haired on their whole extent ........ 2 



Parafacials bare ............ 3 



Mid tibia with 2 or 3 strong ad setae. Vibrissae set high above epistomal margin 

 (distance between level of their insertions and the margin of the epistome at 

 least as great as width of antenna). Vibrissal insertions unusually close to each 

 other, distance between vibrissae less than or not noticeably greater than distance 

 between a vibrissa and the eye. Antennae bright orange 



CRYPSINA Brauer & Bergenstamm 

 Mid tibia with one submedian ad seta. Vibrissae not or only a little above level of 

 epistomal margin. Vibrissal insertions normal, distance between them much 

 greater than distance between vibrissal base and the eye. Antennae largely 

 blackish brown, or if extensively reddish orange then normally suffused with 

 brown at least along forward edges of third segment 



WINTHEMIA Kobineau-Desvoidy 

 Three sternopleural setae (2 + 1). Scutellum without lateral setae. Vibrissae 

 inserted far above epistomal margin (by a distance greater than width of third 

 antennal segment). Pre-alar seta weak, shorter than first post ia seta 



[MYCTEROMYIELLA Mesnil, tribe Ethillini] 

 Two sternopleural setae (1 + 1). Scutellum with lateral setae. Vibrissae level 

 with or only slightly above epistomal margin. Pre-alar seta strong, longer than 

 first post ia seta NEMORILLA kondani 



Tribe CARCELIINI 



As it is understood at present this tribe contains those Goniinae that have a 

 large pre-alar seta and the genal region exceedingly narrow (the eyes being relatively 

 so large that they occupy most of the side of the head with consequent reduction 

 of the gena to a narrow strip below the eye that is narrower than the profrons) 

 (Text-fig. 48). The Anacamptomyiini are similar in head fades, but are treated 

 as distinct because of their unusual hosts (see under treatment of Anacamptomyiini 

 below). Some forms closely resemble the Winthemiini because of their densely 

 haired eyes and arrangement of scutellar setae; the genus Carcelimyia is especially 

 like the winthemiines because the barette is completely haired. 



On present evidence the tribe appears to be rather poorly represented in 

 Australia, in contrast to its rich development in the Oriental Region. It is 

 probable, though, that other carceliine genera than those already known will 

 be found eventually in Queensland; this is especially likely because several genera 

 (e.g. Thecocarcelia) are known from New Guinea, and there seems to be no reason 

 why they should not occur also in northern Queensland. The distribution includes 

 Tasmania, from which one species is known (Carcelia tasmanica Robineau-Desvoidy) . 



Key to Australian Genera of CARCELIINI 



1 Four sternopleural setae. Eyes bare. Antennae exceptionally long, nearly reaching 

 epistome. 9 with flat shining sclerotized ovipositor (visible externally) 



THECOCARCELIA Townsend 



- Two sternopleural setae. Eyes bare or haired. Antennae not exceptionally heavy, 



normally not reaching as far as the epistome. $ without such ovipositor . 2
