THIS paper is a continuation of the preceding parts under 
this title. ‘he material included herein is based on collections 
made in Cameroun by the Rev. J. A. Reis and in Eastern 
Transvaal by Mr. H. K. Munro, In addition, a few species 
from the Paris Museum sent to me for determination by the 
Curator of the Diptera, Mons. Eug. Séguy, have been 
included, The holotypes are preserved in tlie collection of 
the writer, unless stated otherwise. 
AMPHILIMNOBIA, gen. nov. 
Head moderately large, the eyes separated both above and 
below. Legs long and slender; tibiz unspurred ; claws 
small, simple, subterminal, empodia present. Wings with 
vein Se very long, Se, ending opposite cross-vein 7 ; Seg far 
before the tip of Sce,, the latter vein alone being about equal 
to the basal deflection of 24,53 7 present, located far before 
the tip of A, this portion of Ay beyond x being a little longer 
than the deflection of Ay,5; cell Is¢ Aly open by the atrophy 
of the outer deflection of J/;; basal deflection of Cu, at the 
fork of A/; anal veins long and straight. Male hypopygium 
with the ninth tergite small, the caudal margin feebly con- 
cave ; pleurites moderately elongated, the proximal face with 
a cushion of numerous short spinules ; pleural appendages 
two, the outer appendage shortest, flattened, the apex obtuse ; 
inner pleural appendage larger and more elongated, irregu- 
larly twisted, the apex with a few setigerous tubercles; no 
distinct gonapophyses ; penis-guard a subflattened lobe of 
nearly uniform width for its entire length. Ovipositor with 
the valves moderately elongate, powerful, the tergal valves 
much exceeding the rather weak, acutely pointed sternal 
valves. 
Genotype.—Amphilimnobia leucopeza, sp. n. (Western 
Ethiopian Region). 
The curious fly that is made the type of the above new 
genus is represented in the writer’s collection by three speci- 
mens in poor condition. The fly possesses structural features 
that preclude its disposition in any genus known at the 
present time. Although the generai appearance of the fly is 
much like a Dicranomyia, the details of structure seem to
