618 Prof. Mario Bezzi’s Report on a Collection of 
20. A me punctipennis, Wied, (1821). 
Some specimens which agree well with Loew’s descrip- 
tion ; but Loew says nothing about the patches of large 
scales on the sides of the abdomen, The usual length 
is 14 mm.; but one male measures only 10 mm. The 
male genitalia are of large size, and wholly shining red. 
Black tufts of hairs on the sides of abdomen are to be 
found only on the second and fourth segments. The 
single female has the hairs on the face whitish. The 
wings show always the dark spot at base of the fork of 
the third vein. 
Two males from North Nyasa, Karonga to Fort Hill, 
near Lufira River, May 30, 1909, and Akamanga, South 
Rukuru River, October 10, 1909 (Dr. J. B. Davey); three 
males and a female from Nyasaland, Fort Johnston, 
2,000 ft., June 1910 (Dr. A. H. Barclay). 
21. Molybdamoeba incisuralis, Macquart (1840). 
Agrees very well with Loew’s description of Anthrax 
miatus (1860), which is without any doubt the same 
species. 
Closely allied with the preceding species, but dis- 
tinguished by the want of large scales on the sides of the 
abdomen ; by the male genitalia being black at the base 
and without a black fringe; by the presence of black 
tufts of hairs also on the sides of the fifth abdominal 
segment ; by the want of the dark spot at the base of the 
fork of the third vein. 
Three males from North Nyasa, Mulanasasa, Nehipomi 
stream, September 16,1909, and Mudumuka village, North 
Rukuru River, August 25, 1909 (Dr. J. B. Davey); a 
couple from Nyasaland, Fort Johnston, 2,000 ft, June 
1910 (Dr. A. H. Barclay). Two male specimens from 
Norih Nyasa, Karonga to Fort Hill, near Lufira River, 
May 30, 1909 (Dr. J. B. Davey), belong to the variety 
mentioned by Loew (1860, p. 218, note 2), with the dark 
spot at the base of the fork of the third vein. As the 
male genitalia are, moreover, wholly red, as in JZ. puncti- 
pennis, I will give a name to this variety, calling it var. 
inquirenda, var. nov.; perhaps a distinct species. 
22. Molybdamoeba leucopogon, sp. nov. 
3d. Length (two specimens), 9-10 mm. 
A grey species, with an oval elongate body ; very distinct on account 
of the wholly whitish hairs of the face and the closed anal cell.
