Tnn crane-fliesdiscussedherewith are all from Eastern
Australia, where they were collected by my colleagues,
Mossrs. Heron, Illingworth, Tonnoir, and Wilson, towhom I am greatly indebted for this further aid in making
known the vastly rich fauna of tho Commonwealth.
The matorial collected by Tonnoir is preserved in theStation Collection at, Canbena; the Wilson specimens
are preserved in the cabinet of the collector ; thsremaining specimensare retained in my own collection.

A large number of perfectly valid speciesof Diuanomyia have been confused under the name punctulg'ta,,fullowayi (Alexander),inctuding,besidesthe typical species
neopunctulataAlexander, punctulatoidas Alexander, andsubpunctulata Alexander. The included forms rango
from North India and Western China, eastward. into
Japan, and southward and eastward throughout all the*dlot Malayan Islands, to North Queensland. X'urthermoie, L. (D.) punctipennis (Skuse) and allied species
in New ZeaLandand in South and West Australia must
likewise be held to pertain to this same group of cra,neflies. The presentfly is entirely distinct from all described
members of the group in the presence of two wide-lf
sopa,rated spines on the rostral prolongation of tho
ventral dististyle of the male hypopygium.
