Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland . i*. Wings. The wings are clear, and the veins palebrownish-yellow towards the base. The venation is figuredin fig. 7. The wing is a stouter and broader structurethan that of the house fly. The radial longitudinal nervureR 4 + 5 is nearly straight, as is also R 2-(-3. Macquart (p. 153, pi. 20, fig. 10) states that the nerveof the discoidal cell, , the medial transverse nervurebounding the first medial cell, is almost straight. It is,however, slightly sinuous and approximates that ofM. domestica. The medio-cubital transverse nervure

The medio-cubital transverse nervure isrelatively long and more inclined than in M. medial cell is somewhat differently shaped as will beseen on comparing figs. 7 and 9. The alula is relativelyslightly larger than in the house fly. 186 MVSCA AVSTIiALIS MACQ., M. VETVSTISSIMA WALKER.
