 covered with dark-brown or black hairs; scutellum with 

 two subperpendicular , piceous spines, the tip of which is

About the synonymy of Toxocera limbiventris , see Ost. 

 Sack. Berl. Ent. Zeitschr. 1882. p. 367. Indeed, when 

 comparing Macquart's two figures (though they are far 

 from satisfying), this synonymy is so evident, that it is 

 almost incomprehensible, that Prof. Brauer, when writing 

 his » Revision der Notacanthen", did not observe it. A lono- 

 time before, Snellen van Vollenhoven was aware of this 

 synonymy and mentioned it in a meeting of the Dutch 

 Entomological Society in 1856 (See «Handelingen der 

 Nederl. Entom. Vereeniging" p. 107).
