Beitr. 25/2 833-911 31.12.1993 The Australian species of Dolichopeza CURTIS (Diptera: Tipulidae) G. THEISCHINGER Abstract: The Australian species of the genus Dolichopeza CURTIS are reviewed. For the time being they all are assigned to Dolichopeza s. str. Lectotypes are designated for seven species. One taxon previously regarded as a subspecies is given füll specific rank, and one species is synonymized. In total 28 previously described species are recognized. The males of two of those species previously known only from the female, and the females of th- ree of those species previously known only from the male, are introduced, and 18 species are described as new. A key is presented to species groups as recognized in this paper (males only). Key-words: Dolichopeza, revision; Australian species. Introduction The first description of an Australian species of Dolichopeza CURTIS was presented by MACQUART (1846) under Apeilesis cinerea. To this SKUSE (1890) added seven more species, and ALEXANDER (1920, 1924, 1928a, 1928b, 1930, 1934, 1937, 1944) contributed another 19 taxa of the species group. However, only SKUSE (1890) provided illustrations, for four of his species. DOBROTWORSKY (1974) revised the Australian members of Do- lichopeza. He (DOBROTWORSKY 1974) synonymized one of ALEXANDER'S species, attributed full specific rank to one of ALEXANDER'S subspecies, re- described all previously known species which he recognized, and described three more species.

  • Explore the Waterfall Way Scenic Drive
    Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive, considered one of New South Wales and indeed Australias most beautiful drives. Running east to west from the Pacific Highway to the New England Highway at Armidale, along the drive there are seven national parks, three of which are listed as World Heritage areas. The drive delivers an opportunity to enjoy scenic countryside, national parks, magnificent waterfalls & natural wonders, dotted with bucolic villages – and the odd Aussie-character. Don’t forget to have a camera at the ready, there are photo opportunities galore along the whole route. Our local correspondent and Scotts Head resident Kathleen Crawley shares her in-depth knowledge of the area and her best tips and recommendations. Explore the Waterfall Way scenic drive Where is the Waterfall Way? You can find the eastern start of the Waterfall Way scenic drive at Raleigh, 15 minutes south of Coffs Harbour with the turnoff to Raleigh signed along the Pacific Highway. The drive from end-to-end can easily be done in a few of hours or over a few days. It purely depends on what you choose to do along the road. If you are pressed for time you could fly into Coffs Harbour, hire a car and fly out of Armidale, or vice-versa. Ideally the drive is done over 3 or 4 days. Further reading: Where to stay in Coffs Harbour When to visit the Waterfall Way Autumn is a particularly beautiful time of year to travel this route, with the colours of the autumnal trees providing a stunning backdrop and this is our preferred time of year to visit.
