Popis: | New material has accumulated in several Australian Museums since Mackerras’ extensive 1960’s revision of the austral horse fly genus Scaptia Walker 1850, including one new species of Scaptia ( Scaptia ) Walker, 1850 and two new species of Scaptia ( Myioscaptia ) Mackerras, 1955. The new species are Scaptia ( Scaptia ) aurinigra Lessard, sp. n. and Scaptia ( Myioscaptia ) collessi Lessard, sp. n. both from Queensland, and Scaptia ( Myioscaptia ) lambkinae Lessard, sp. n. from Western Australia. All new species are described and illustrated. Additionally, an updated key to species of Scaptia ( My-ioscaptia ) is provided and includes all eleven known species of the subgenus. One novel species significantly extends the known distribution of the genus over 700 km further NE into central Western Australia. |
