 donor of the last-mentioned specimen writes that the species " bites 

 camels, horses, mules, and cattle." 



Pangonia conjuncta, Walker.

 British Museum, Part I., p. 135 (1848).

The deceptive resemblance between this South African species 

 and Pangonia angulata, Fabr. (Plate IV., fig. 27), has already been 

 dealt with (see p. 61). Of P. conjuncta, Walk., of which P. obesa, 

 Walk., is a synonym, the Museum possesses three males and six 

 females, including : — Two males (one of which is the type of the 

 species) and three females, from " South Africa," before 1844 {Dr. 

 Andrew S?nith) ; one female from the " Cape of Good Hope " {ex 

 Vigors Collection), and another (the type of P. obesa, Walk.) from the 

 same locality {ex Saunders Collection, collected by Drege) ; and one 

 male and one female from Simon's Town, Cape Colony, October, 

 1894, and November, 1892 (P. de la Garde, R.N.). 



Pangonia riippellii, Jaennicke.

 schenden Oesellschaft, Bd. VI., p. 329 (1867). 



Plate V., fig. 34. 



The distribution of this brightly-marked species is exceedingly 

 wide, since in addition to Abyssinia, where the type was obtained, 

 P. riippellii is known to occur in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, the 

 East Africa Protectorate (British East Africa), and Northern 

 Nigeria ; while if, as seems possible, P. magrettii, Bezzi, is merely a 

 dark form or subspecies of P. riippellii, Jaenn., the range of the 

 species also includes Somaliland and Eritrea. At the present time
