curved, suddenly narrowed before the acute tips ; penis-guard and

Superficially, Geranomyia rubrithorax resembles G. subimmaculata, 

 sp. n., but is readily told by the two-segmented palpi and the distinct 

 wing-venation.

 The brown dots on the wing are much more sparse and scattered 

 than is usual in this species. 



TRIBE ANTOCHINI. 



GEN. ATAEBA, Osten Sacken. 



ATARBA CAPENSIS, Alexander. 



In the collection was a small male from Knysna, Cape Colony,. 

 October, 1916 (L. Peringuey). It agrees with the type, but is con- 

 siderably smaller, with narrower wings. The length is only 3'6 mm., 

 the wing 3*8 mm. ; subcosta is short, ending before the origin of the 

 sector. In spite of these discrepancies I believe the specific reference 

 as given above to be correct.
