zs Miss G. Ricardo on the Asilidee. 
The following have been described, not included in the

evidently only a subform of P. bifasciatus, having two dark 
streaks on the wing. _P. desmopygus, de Meijere, Tijd. 
Ent. lvi., Suppl. p. 59 (1914), from Java, the abdomen 
having brown-yellow hairs on the first three segments in the

them. P. albopilosus, Rondani, from Borneo, with the 
abdomen shining black and white-haired, the legs also white- 
haired. P. felinus, vy. d. Wulp, from Borneo, with only 
the anterior tibiz red, the wings pale brown. /P. leucopareus, 
v. d. Wulp, from Java, the abdomen with yellow-ochre 
hairs and yellow tibie. P. rufibarbis, Macq., from Java, has. 
a dark spot on the wing and long yellow hairs below the

testaceous, and some white bristles on the posterior legs. 
P. rufomystaceus, Macq., has a red moustache. Abdomen 
black with white segmentation. Wings yellow. 
The other species described from the Philippines are 
P. forcipatus, Schiner, a species with red-yellow bands 
on the abdomen and the genitalia with a white tuft; 
P. maculosa and varipes, Macq., the former described as 
having two black spots on each segment of abdomen, and 
the legs with some white bristles; the latter also said to be 
found’ in India measuring 16 mm. Moustache and palpi 
yellow-haired. Genitalia of male from Manila with a 
white tuft of hairs. Abdomen with short yellow hairs and

Promachus bifasciatus, Macq. 
Dipt. Exot. i. (2) p. 215 [ Trupanea] (1888), ete. 
Ricardo, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xi. p. 417 (1913). 
Promachus strenuus, Walker, Proc. Linn. Soc. London, iv. p. 106 
[ Trupanea] (1860); et v. p. 264 [ Trupanea] (1861). 
Type of Walker’s species (female) from Makessar, Celebes 
(Saunders Coll.). 
Type (male) from Menado. 
Male from Tond (Saunders Coll.). This specimen was 
compared by me with Macquart’s type in the Paris Museum. 
Male from Celebes. 
V. d. Wulp records species from Gorontalo in Celebes, 
and gives a good description, suggesting Walker’s species is 
identical, in which he is correct.
