ICO Annals of tlie South African Museum. 



ally described from Western Nyassa ; female specimens from Bulawayo 

 and TJmaruma, S. Rhodesia, October 2nd, 1916 (J. A. O'Neil). 



In my original description the scutellum is said to be black, while 

 it is red. The hitherto undescribed female is very much lilce the 

 male ; the spines of the ovipositor are of a shining red colour. 



EXOPROSOPA (EXOPROSOPA) INAEQUALIPES, Loew (1852). 



A robust species of large size, distinguished from the one following 

 by the entirely black antennae and legs, and by the broadly infuscated 

 cross-veins. 



Described by Loew from Mozambique, there is a female specimen 

 also from Inhambane (Mozambique) December 7th, 1912 (K. H. 

 Barnard). 



This species is closely allied to E. major, Rieardo, from Nyassalaud, 

 but is distinguished by the redder abdomen. E. costatis, Macquart, 

 belongs also to the present group of species very difficult to identify. 



EXOPROSOPA (EXOPROSOPA) BATRACHOIDES, Bezzi (1912). 



A species of gi-eat size, distinguished by the prevailing red colour 

 of the legs and abdomen. 



Originally described from Nyassalaud, there are in the collection 

 2 specimens from Springvale, S. Rhodesia, October 6th, 1912, and also 

 another from S. Rhodesia without exact locality (Oakley), 1910. 



The pi-esent species seems to be hardly distinguishable from the 

 West African E. merope, Wied. 



H. GROUP BALIOPTERA. 



EXOPROSOPA (EXOPROSOPA) BALIOPTERA, Loew (1860). 

 Dipteren-Fauna Siid-Afrikas, p. 238, pi. ii, fig. 36. 



A black, rather small species, at once distinguishable from any 

 other by its characteristic wing pattern. 



Described from the Cape and Caffraria ; two examples from the 

 neighbourhood of Durban, Natal (H. W. Bell-Marley), and Durban 

 (Natal), without precise locality. 



I. GROUP INERMIS. 

 EXOPROSOPA (EXOPROSOPA) PEDIFORMIS, Bezzi. 



Very distinct from all the other South African species on account of 

 its reddish body, lacking all the macrochaetae, of its rounded face, of 

 its non-spinous femora, and of its specially shaped discoidal cell in 

 the yellowish grey wings.
