Anthrax Scopoli 



Anthrax pithecius Fabricius 

 A. jnthecius Fabricius, 1805, 'Syst. Antl.,' p. 122. 



A single, headless male and three females from Stanleyville, January 

 to April, 1915. 



Anthrax aygulus Fabricius 



A. aygulus Fabricius, 1805, "Syst. Antl.,' p. 121. 



A female from Faradje, Nov., 1912, and another from Garamba, 

 June, 1912. 



Anthrax hemimelas Speiser 



A. hemimelas Speiser, 1910, 'Kilimandjaro-Meru Exp., (1905-06),' II, Sect. 10, 

 p. 78. 



The collection contains a single female collected at Faradje in 

 January, 1912. 



Spogostylum Macquart 



Spogostylum subanthrax (Bezzi) 



S. subanthrax Bezzi, 1924, 'Bomb. Ethiopian Reg,' p. 169. 



A single female specimen without head I believe to be this species 

 but cannot be certain. The legs are also almost entirely missing. Super- 

 ficially the specimen, which was taken at Faradje, Nov., 1912, is like 

 Anthrax hemimelas but the wing venation is quite different. 



Villa Lioy 



Villa sexfasciata (Wiedemann) 

 Anthrax sexfasciatus Wiedemann, 1821, 'Dipt. Exot.,' p. 142. 

 To this species I refer a male with the abdomen mostly denuded. 

 It agrees fully with the description and the pale abdominal fasciae are 

 well indicated. The specimen is from Banana, August, 1915. 



Thyridanthrax Osten Sacken 



Thyridanthrax lineus (Loew) 



Anthrax lineus Loew, 1860, Ofvers. Kongl. Vet. Akad. Forhandl., XVII, p. 91. 



A largely denuded female from Faradje, Nov., 1912, is evidently this 

 species. Sufficient hairs remain to permit of a reasonably accurate 

 conception of their color and arrangement.
