On the BomlnjIiiJ Futntu <>f Sunlit Africa (Diptrrn}. \'-'<l 



Tliis species is widely spread over all the Ethiopian region, -and will 

 bo described by me in a paper on the Bombyliidae of the British 

 Museum. Notwithstanding the 3 submarginal cells it cannot be 

 placed in l\,cni,rn<i[Hi owing to the different shape of the third antenna! 

 joint : in general pattern and colouring it is similar to the species of 

 the fenestratus-group, to which it belongs undoubtedly. I suspect that 

 the Anth rn. I- co/er of Wiedeiuami, placed in Exoprosopa by the authors, 

 may be the same as the present species.
