106 Dr. C. P. Alexander on African Crane-flies 
Paratopotype, 2. 
Type in the collection of the British Museum (Natural 
History). 
Nephrotoma fuscipennis pronotalis, subsp. n. 
Male.—Length 10°5 mm. ; wing 9°8 mm. 
Female.—Length 12 mm.; wing 11 mm. 
Close to typical fuscipennis, Karsch (Portuguese West 
Africa), differing as follows :— 
General coloration not blue-black, but of an intense coal- 
black. Occipital mark small but indicated in the type; no 
longitudinal black stripe on the frontal prolongation of the 
head ; nasus black. Antenne with only the first segment 
reddish. Pronotum with the dorso-median area fiery orange 
in both sexes. Mesonotum black, the humeral angles con- 
spicuously obscure yellow. Wings without whitish markings 
in the cells. Legs with the basal fifth of the fore femora 
conspicuously yellowish. The third abdominal segment has 
only the extreme base orange-yellow. The hypopygium is 
conspicuously orange-yellow, including the appendages. 
The hypopygium is of the general type of structure of 
N. tincta, et al., the caudal margin of the eighth sternite 
with a median, flattened, pale lobe. 
The allotype female is similar, but has the humeral angles 
of the preescutum even more broadly yellow ; abdomen with 
the extreme base of the fourth abdominal segment yellowish 
on the sides.

'l'ype in the collection of the British Museum (Natural 
History). 
The paratypical specimens may not belong to this species, 
as the occipital mark is very much more evident, deep 
chestnut-brown and shiny, and the second to fourth abdo- 
minal segments are almost entirely uniform orange-yellow, 
somewhat as in WN. tincta (Walk.).
