Abstract
The endemic Australian bee fly genus Docidomyia White (Bombyliidae:Tom omyzinae) is revised. The relationships of the genus to others in the Tomomyzinae is discussed. A total of 15 species are treated: the five described species (D. puellaris White, D. norrisi Paramonov, D. frogga tti Paramonov, D. victoriana Paramonov and D. swani Paramonov) are dia gnosed and ten new species (D. nicholsoni, sp. nov., D. genualia, sp. nov., D. parva, sp. nov., D. albifrons, sp. nov., D. nigra, sp. nov., D. danielsi, sp. nov., D. brevipilata, sp. nov., D. hespera, sp. nov., D. angusta, sp. nov., and D. isla, sp. nov.) are described. The distr ibutions of all species are mapped, and the male and female genitalia of selected species are illustrated.
