ERISTALODES. 91 
Six specimens from Nairobi, 3. v. 1911; one from British East 
Africa, Kenyamkago (Dr. J. Pugh), and another from Marsabit 
(R. J. Stordy); a couple from Durban (#. Muir); a male 
specimen from Stellenbosch, Cape Colony, xi. 1904 (G. dA. A. 
Marshall). 
92. Eristalodes fuscicornis, Karsch (1887). 
Characterised by having only three broad bands on the eyes and 
the face almost entirely black, the lateral black stripes being 
therefore indistinct. 
Karsch has described the male alone from Pungo-Andongo. In 
the collection there is a single female specimen, which agrees well 
enough in its general characters. It measures 14 mm. in length ; 
the frons is grey pollinose and dark-haired ; the vertex and a broad 
band just above the antennx are black; there is also a broad dull 
black band on the middle of the frons. Abdomen entirely black, 
the first segment whitish cinereous ; the second with an indistinct 
trace of the yellow band; third and fourth entirely black, without 
white bands. 
A single female specimen from British East Africa, Mt. Kenia, 
W. side, 6,500 ft., 20. 11.1911 (S. A. Neave).

@. Length of the body 12 mm.

black-haired, with grey pollen only towards the sides; lunula 
yellow ; face with strong bluish reflexions, very shining, covered 
with short whitish hairs on the sides; the grey pollen is distinct 
on the sides, on the under border, and on two small lines on the 
sides of the tubercle, the two stripes being also very broad, rect- 
angular, and almost twice as broad as the middle stripe ; peristoma 
shining, not produced; antenne placed on a slightly prominent 
tubercle, entirely brownish black, the elongate third joint having 
only a small dark yellow spot below; arista long, bare, brown ; 
vertical and occipital hairs black. Thorax dark-haired, with long 
black hairs on the sides, grey pollinose on the back, with four well-
