Tribe CAMPYLOCHETINI 
Townsend (1936) erected this tribe for a small number of genera found in each 
of the major zoogeographical regions and apparently closely allied to the Voriini. 
The group is easily recognized by having the strong ocellar setae directed backwards 
(a very unusual character found elsewhere in Australian Tachinidae only in the 
Goniini and in Leucostoma) and simultaneously having the propleuron haired and the 
facial ridges strongly bristled. Until now the tribe has not been reported from 
Australia, but recent collecting has shown the presence of some undetermined (probably 
new) species in Australia and Tasmania that clearly belong in the genus Elpe 
Robineau-Desvoidy; this is the only genus so far discovered in Australasia. The 
genus Elpe is widespread in the Palaearctic, Ethiopian and Oriental Regions but 
apparently does not occur in the New World. Mesnil in various publications has 
referred several species of the genus to Frivaldskia Schiner (=Fallemia Meigen, 
preoccupied), but the true Frivaldskia (type-species F’. longicornis (Fallén)) has the 
parafacials partially haired and cell R; closed and appears to be generically distinct 
from Elpe (van Emden, 1960 : 351). (Here it may be noted in passing that 
Frivaldskia is the correct original spelling and that the various alternatives such as 
Frivaldszkia and Frivaldzkia that have currency in the literature are incorrect 
subsequent spellings.) 
Van Emden (1960) placed Elpe as a subgenus of Campylocheta Rondani, but 
the latter has a different facies from Elpe and has three (instead of two) stpl setae 
and extensively hairy parafacials (instead of bare parafacials as in Elpe). It
