angustipennis Walker, 1859 : 101 (Rutilia). Holotype g, Inpones1a (Aru Islands, A. R. 
Wallace) : BMNH, London. 
argentifera Bigot, 1874 : 464 (Rutilia). Lectotype g, by designation of Crosskey (1971 : 300), 
AUSTRALIA (New South Wales, Sydney) : BMNH, London. 
argentifera Malloch, 1936 : 19 (Chaetogaster). Holotype 2, AUSTRALIA (Victoria, Gisborne, 
25.11.1923, G. Lyell) : SPHTM, Sydney. 
arida Paramonov, 1968 : 397 (Prodiaphania). Holotype, AusTRALIA (Victoria, Little Desert, 
5 miles S. of Kiata, 13.ii.1956, J. F. B. Common) : ANIC, Canberra. 
assimilis Macquart, 1851 : 192 (219) (Rutilia). Lectotype g, by designation of Crosskey 
(1971 : 285), AUSTRALIA (Tasmania) : MNHN, Paris. 
Macquart cited the type-locality as ‘Nouvelle-Hollande: céte orientale’ in the original 
description, but Crosskey (1970) established, from accession reference numbers on the 
type-material, that Tasmania is the correct provenance. 
atribasis Walker, 1861b : 288 (Rutilia). Lectotype 2, by present designation (p. 119), 
InpDonEs1A (Moluccas, Batjan, A. R. Wallace) : BMNH, London. 
atrox Enderlein, 1936: 408 (Idania). Holotype 9, PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC (Luzon, Imugan, 
6.vi.1918, Georg Bottcher) : MNHU, Berlin. 
auriceps Paramonov, 1968 : 371 (Chaetogaster). Holotype 9, AUSTRALIA (Queensland, 
Collinsville, 15.1x.1950, E. F. Riek) : ANIC, Canberra. 
australasia Gray in Cuvier, 1832: pl. 114, fig. 1 & p. 793 [index] (Rutilia). Holotype or 
syntypes [2], AUSTRALIA : lost. 
The description of this nominal species consists of a good figure by Gray clearly showing 
a 2 Rutilia, and of the words ‘Black and blue’ appearing in the index on p. 793 of the 
second Insecta volume of Cuvier’s The Animal Kingdom. No specimen or specimens that 
could have formed the basis for Gray’s figure have been located, and the type-material is 
therefore presumed lost. Walker (1849 : 863) synonymized the name R. austvalasia Gray 
with R. splendida (Donovan); this synonymy, which is fully justified by Gray’s excellent 
figure, is here upheld as certainly correct. 
barcha Walker, 1849 : 857 (Dexia). Holotype 9, AUSTRALIA : BMNH, London.

AUSTRALIA (Western Australia, Wurarga, Marloo station, ix.1935, A. Goerling) : MNHU, 
Berlin.
