Two males of this abundant palaearctic species were taken by 

 Peringuey in Cape Town early in 1915 ; probably imported ill 

 Dipterous puparia.

This is a small subtropical species, allied to H. rubrornatus, Cam.,, 

 and the common European H. areator, Panzer ; it is common in 

 Ceylon and I have seen the male from Kuchmg in Sarawak. The 

 bifasciated wings are distinctive. 



Two (probably imported) females have occurred in Cape Town 

 to L. Peringuey.

Essential Characters. Metauotum with no longitudinal carinae 

 areolet small and quadrate ; upper basal nervure not antefurcal nor 

 body metallic ; metathoracic spiracles oval, neither circular nor linear ; 

 mesosternum not laterally spinate, nor areolet minute. Goryplms has 

 not been employed by systematists since first erected ; but a study of 

 Holmgren's African diagnosis (overlooked by Tosquinet in 1896) 

 leaves no doubt that it is synonymous with Cameron's Indian name. 

 The species are subtropical, and I have seen them only from the two 

 above countries, though they are also recorded from China, the 

 Philippines, Valparaiso, etc. 



G-ORYPHTTS TRISULCATUS, sp. nov.

 the thorax entirely red. Head dull and scabriculous, posteriorly short 

 but not obliquely constricted ; face centrally elevated ; clypeus tuber-
