 denticornis, Wicd. (riati- III., lig. 18), are hyaline or nearly so. 

 Tn the case, however, of an at present nndescribed species of this 

 genus, of which the Museum has recently received a single female, 

 from the Benue River, Northern Nigeria, between liagana and 

 Lokoja, March, 1007 [Dr. G. J. Pirie), the wings are marked in a 

 very similar manner to that seen in R. denticornis. 



Nothing is known as to the life-history of any species of Rhino- 

 myza. Dr. Pirie's field-note on the specimen presented by him 

 is as follows : — " Caught on a sand-bank in the evening, while we 

 were sitting out by lamp-light : bit a European."
