later paper cited) the antennal length as a key character; as a result, Paramonov 
following Malloch has identified some specimens of the long-antenna species in 
different museum collections as tmornata Guérin-Méneville. Neither Malloch nor 
Paramonov saw Guérin-Méneville’s two original syntypes in Paris Museum, and 
Malloch’s identification—working from the description alone—was reasonable; 
however, examination of the two inornata types during the present work (one of 
them bearing an original Guérin-Méneville label and herein designated lectotype, 
p. 72) has shown that the true znornata belongs in the subgenus Rutilia s.str. and 
is the same species as Guérin-Méneville’s desvotdyi (=vivipara Fabricius). There 
are some discrepancies between the original description of inornata and the charac- 
ters shown by the lectotype, especially as the legs are not as black as the description 
implies, but I see no reason to doubt that the two specimens in Paris are the two that 
Guérin-Méneville mentioned. Hence it is concluded that Malloch misidentified 
inornata. But the species that he called by this name showing the long antennae 
was described by Walker with the name sabrata, and this is the valid name for the 
species. 
From comparison of Enderlein’s types of bisetosa (described from the 9 in Psaronia) 
and migribasis (described from gf and 9 asa variety of Donovanius fulgidus (Macquart)) 
I am convinced that the respective 9 and ¢ lectotypes designated in this paper are 
conspecific and I therefore place nigribasis as a synonym of bisetosa. The name 
bisetosa is chosen to stand valid for the species in preference to migribasis because it 
alludes to the character of a pair of median marginal setae on the third (apparent 
second) abdominal tergite which are present in both sexes, and because bisetosa is the 
name upon which Enderlein’s so-called genus Psaronia was based. It should be 
added that the 9 lectotype of bisetosa and the g lectotype of nigribasis have the same 
type-locality, namely Marloo Station, Wurarga, Western Australia, which strongly 
supports the conclusion that both names apply to the same species.
