ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



This work embodies some of the results of a taxonomic study of the Australian 

 Tachinidae that has proceeded intermittently over the past ten years. During 

 this period I have been greatly helped by the unstinting generosity of specialist 

 colleagues in answering my various enquiries or in sending me material, and by 

 the many non-specialists at other museums and institutions who have so readily 

 forwarded types to me for study. 



It gives me special pleasure to thank my friend Dr Donald Colless (Division of 

 Entomology, C.S.I.R.O., Canberra) for his constant interest in my work on 

 Australian Tachinidae and for giving me every possible assistance from the Australian 

 National Insect Collection. 



For the loan of types, other than from Canberra, I warmly thank the following:
