DiscHisTus Loew 



Dischistus senegalensis Macquart 

 Bombylius senegalensis Macquart, 1S40, 'Dipt. Exot.,' II, part 1, p. 99. 

 The following specimens are in the collection : 8 males and 2 females 

 from Stanleyville, March and April, 1915. 



In the female there is a broad patch of silvery scales on the sides of 

 the front below, the head being chiefly clothed with golden hairs, only a 

 few hairs on the upper portion of the face being black. There is evidently 

 a narrowly interrupted row of black bristly hairs on the apex of each 

 abdominal segment. 



EURYCARENUS LoCW 



Eurycarenus laticeps (Loew) 

 Bombylius laticeps Loew, 1852, 'Bericht ub. d. Verh. d. Kgl. Preuss. Akad. d. 

 Wiss., Berlin, p. 659. 



Two females from Stanleyville, March and April, I refer here with 

 some doubt. One female is so badly denuded as to be quite unrecogniz- 

 able by itself but the second is in fairh^ good condition and agrees well 

 with the description. Without a male it is impossible to determine the 

 species with certainty. 



ToxopHORA Meigen 



Toxophora trivittata Bezzi 



T. trivittata Bezzi, 1908, Ann. Soo. Ent. Belg., LII, p. 375. 



There are three males and two females in fair condition, from the 

 following localities: 2 males, 1 female, Stanleyville, April 24 and 27, 

 1915; male, Boma, June 18, 1915; female, Faradje, Nov., 1912. 



This species was originally described from the second mentioned 

 locality and is recorded from Nigeria and Rhodesia by Bezzi.
