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:
