146 R. W. CROSSKEY 



trichopareia Schiner, 1868 : 327 (Exorista). Type(s) [? sex], [Australia] (not located, 

 possibly lost). — Qld. (Confirmation of identity required). 



This species was, as Malloch (19306 : 349) stated, unsatisfactorily described by Schiner 

 who did not state the number of specimens, or their sex or their locality of origin. Nothing 

 in the description indicates positively that Winthemia is the correct genus, and Malloch's 

 (19306) placement was made by guesswork from Brauer & Bergenstamm's (1891 : 441) 

 earlier placement in Chaetolyga; it is from their statement of 'Australien' that the proven- 

 ance of Schiner's species is known. The original type-material has never been studied 

 and cannot now be found amongst Schiner's types in NM, Vienna.

[examined]. - Qld, Vict. (?). 

 tasmanica Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 : 240. Holotype (J, Tasmania (lost). - Tasm. 



scutellaris Robineau-Desvoidy, 1863 : 240 (Phorocera). [Unavailable name, first published 



as a synonym.] 



Robineau-Desvoidy named C. tasmanica for a male specimen said by him to be in the 

 Paris Museum and to be labelled 'Phorocera scutellaris' by Macquart. Macquart did 

 not publish this name, but it was cited by Robineau-Desvoidy in synonymy with tasmanica. 

 The name scutellaris is therefore attributable to Robineau-Desvoidy and is unavailable 

 under Article 11(d) of the ICZN. The type-specimen cannot be found in MNHN, Paris, 

 and is presumed lost.
