you are the Braconid which the last Braconoid which deceived 

 me, mimicked ! ' and, lo and behold, it was again the Longicorn 

 in my net ! " 



Capt. Carpenter's collection, especially from Lulanguru, 

 contains many interesting additions to the great Lycoid 

 combination described and figured by Dr. Marshall from 

 Salisbury. Mashonaland [ibid., pp. 515-18, pi. xviii, figs. 1-52). 

 The abundance of the central models at Itigi was well shown 

 by the capture of 272 Lycidae belonging to 9 species, on a 

 single plant on Mar. 23, 1917 (Proc. Ent. Soc, 1917, pp. 

 lvii-lix). These 9 species only contained 2 — Lycus ampliatus, 

 F., and rostratus, L., and these in relatively small numbers 

 of the species figured by Dr. Marshall. The mimetic species, 

 of which a list is printed below, are all different from Dr. 

 Marshall's except Amphidesmus analis, and the 3 species of 

 Dirphya (Nitocris) ; and upon the mimetic relationship of these 

 last Capt. Carpenter sheds new light. The locality is Lulan- 

 guru and the year 1917, unless otherwise stated. 



Diptera (Tachinidae). — Paraclara magnified, Bezzi., Dec. 25. 

 L ' Mimetic of Lycoid Fossor." Also taken in the Ruanda 

 Country, 30° 35' E., 2° 10' S., on June 8, 1916, when a 

 similar note on the resemblance was recorded. 



Lepidoptera {Tiueidae). — Oedematopoda princeps, Z. (allied 

 to Hyponomeuta), Dec. 17 and 19. " Lycoid at rest " noted 

 on both specimens. 



Hemiptera (Capsidae). — Lycidocoris miinelicus, Renter and 

 Poppiu.3, Nov. 21 and 26. " Beautifully Lycoid on wing " 

 and " Very Lycoid at rest " are the respective notes. 



Hymenoptera (Larridae). — Notogouia bembesiana, Bisch., 

 Jan. 14, 1917, Ndala. " Lycoid Fossor." Mr. R, E. Turner 

 informs me that this species bears a close resemblance t<> a 

 much commoner and more widely ranging Fossor, IAris 

 haemorrhoidalis, F. 



Hymenoptera (Tenthredinidae). — Hyloloma {Arge) annulipes, 

 Klug, Nov. 21 and Dec. 4. " Lycoid at rest " on both. 



The Hymenoptera Parasitica are considered later, as Capt. 

 Carpenter shows that they play the part of models as well as 

 Lycoid mimics. 



Coleoptera (Cetoniidae). -Glycyphana (Gametis) balteata,
