55. LEGS WITH TARSI APICALLY BANDED. 
A single species only occurs in this group. 
51. CuLEX CAMPTORHYNCHUS. Thomson. 
(Eugen. Resa. Dipt. p. 443.) 
“ Thorax fuscous brown; pleurae lighter ; mesothorax marbled with 
short fulvous-golden scale-like hairs, and sparsely clothed with long erect 
fuscous hairs on the sides and near the wings ; abdomen fuscous, with the 
sides pale. Legs long, light coloured; tarsi with the joints apically 
whitish, the first (i.e., metatarsus?) almost as long as the tibia. 
Habitat .— Sydney, Australia. 
Length. —4 mm.” 
Note.—I have not come across any Australian species with 
the legs apically banded. Skuse places this species as synonymous 
with 0. alboannulatus, Macq., but Thomson’s description does not 
apply exactly to C. alboannulatus. No mention is made of 
abdominal banding, nor white banding on the 9 palpi, so that 
I prefer to look upon it as a distinct species for the present.
