A review of the Australian species of Cylindromyia Meigen and Saralba walker (tachinidae: Diptera)

Abstract

Ten new species of the genus Cylindromyia Meigen are described and information about the 11 species of this genus previously described has been greatly supplemented. A new key is also provided. This study has shown that the genus is extremely well represented in Australia and more species probably remain to be discovered in each State. Another genus of Cylindromiini, Saralba Walker, has been recorded for Australia for the first time, and one new species of it described.
