466 ZOOLOGY 



any locality in the Uganda Protectorate, this species, like the former, can safely be 

 assumed to extend into it, since T. latipes and T. higuttatus, Wied., are perhaps the two 

 most widely distributed— as in appearance they are among the most striking— species 

 of Tabanus in Central and Southern Africa. Of T. latipes the Museum possesses 

 further specimens from Kinsembo, in Angola ; the White Nile (Consul Petherick) •,. 

 Witu (Imi)erial British East ^Africa Company) ; Delagoa Bay (H. A. .Spencer) ; Durban 

 (Plant) ; Malvern and Isipingo, Natal, February, 1896 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; Kiliman- 

 jaro (F. J. Jackson) ; Ngatana (W. J. Gregory); and Lake Nyasa (Bellingham). 



A-;iLTD.E. 



Hi/perechia sp. (probably new). Entebbe, October, 1900 (Sir H. H. Johnston, K.C.B.). 



Syrphid.^':. 



Plagiocera macidipennis, Lw. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Between Katwe and Buamba. 



Plagiocera sp. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). — Between Katwe and Buamba. Near but 

 distinct from PI. mnculipennis, Lw., as shown by the more incrassated hind femora, 

 a dark transverse band on the front, the colour of the thorax posteriorly, and the colour 

 of the abdomen, which is also more shining. 



Plagiocera 1 ^^. nov. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Between Katwe and fjuamba ; and 

 Piuwenzori, 6,000 to 8,C00 feet. 



Sj/rphm adligatm, Wied. Between Katwe and Buamba ; Ruwenzori, 6000 to 

 8,000 feet (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Other specimens of this species in the British Museum 

 collection arc from Flundi, Natal, 5,000 to 6,500 feet, September, ^896 (G. A. K. Marshall) ;, 

 Delagoa Bay (B. W. Plant) ; and Cape of Good Hope. 



Syrphus intersectiis, Wied. Between Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). I 

 am not altogether satisfied as to the correct identification of this species, especially 

 since Mr. Scott-Elliot's specimens (the only ones in the collection) are in very poor 

 condition. 



AsarMna sp. (?nov.). Ruwenzori, 7,C00 to 8,000 feet (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Near 

 Asarkinn eremopihila, Lw., but the yellow bands on the second and following segments 

 of the abdomen of uniform width, not constricted in the nuddle. 



Asarkina ericetorum, Fabr. (Asarkina sah'ice, Lw., "Dijjt. Fauna S. Afrikas"). Between 

 Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). This is a very widely distributed species^ 

 in Asia as well as in Africa. The Museum collection includes .specimens from Sikkim, 

 2,000 to 3,000 feet, August, 1895 (J. G. Pilcher) ; N. Bengal (Lieut. Campbell) ; Ceylon 

 (Col. YerburyandE. E. Green); Mount Ophir (Wallace) ; Penangand Singapore (H. N. 

 Ridley) ; Sumatra (Sir Stamford Raffles) ; Lawa.s, N.-W. Borneo, July, 1895 (A. Everett); 

 Labuan, March, 1895 (A. Everett) ; Masauadel (D. W. Barker) ; Sierra Leone, September, 

 1899 (E. E. Austen, Cai)t. Clements) ; Fernando Po (Louis Eraser) ; Delagoa Bay 

 (R. W. Plant). 



MegasjHs sp. Between Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). 



Mu.-:ciD.E. 



Dejeania sp. (probably new). Between Katwe and Buamba (one specimen) ; 

 Ruwenzori, 7,000 to 8,000 feet (one specimen) ; Ruwenzori, 9,000 feet (three specimens) 

 (G. F. Scott-Elliot). In the list of Miiscidce (excluding Anthoiiij/iiue) of the world 

 published by Prof. Braner in 1891 (Denkochr. K. Akad. Wiss. Wien., Bd. Iviii. pp. 398- 

 443), the only African Dejeania is D. (Stomoxyii) hombi/lans, Fabr. — a yellow species^
