- Abstract
Damalina mcalpinei sp. n., the first record of the asilid subfamily Trigonomiminae from Papua New Guinea, is described. A second species, D. burwelli sp. n. is described from near Atherton, northern Queensland, the first confirmed record of the subfamily from Australia. Both species are illustrated and compared with the description of Damalis fuscipennis Macquart, a species recorded as from 'Nouvelle-Hollande' and only known from the original description. A key to the two genera and three species recorded from the two countries is provided. The presence of ommatrichia is recorded in the subfamily for the first time.
