There are two species in tlie Cam. Coll. from Africa. 

 Speiser, in his paper on the Kilimandjaro-Meru Expedition 

 (x. 5, pp. 168, 169), describes the species tricJiooscelis and 

 argyi-ostethus ; Hendel considers that the former is a syno- 

 nym of ornatifrons, Adams, the latter most probably of sene- 

 ffalensis, Macq. ; the autlior had independently come to the 

 same conclusion. Both of Speiser's species were founded on 

 single damaged specimens, and in the case of this genus tliat 

 procedure is especially hazardous. 



Sepedon ornatifrons, Adams. 



A fair series is in the Canib. Coll., showing quite perceptible 

 degrees of variation. 



S. Rhodesia : Chirinda Forest {G.A.K. Marshall, Camb. 

 Coll.). 



Sepedon senegalensis, Macq. 

 Natal : Durban {F. Muir, Camb. Coll.). 



Fsilidsa. 

 Chyliza, Fall. 



There are two specimens from Ceylon which do not agree 

 with any of the known Oriental species ; in general appear- 

 ance they are very like C. leptogaster, 



Chyliza palli'dipes, sp. n. 



Head (top view) : — The eye-borders black and somewhat 

 shining, about ^ of total frontal width, extending from 

 vertex nearly to front, but narrowing sharply in front ; the 

 wider part of the frons lying between these anterior narrowed 

 parts is bright but dull yellow, the rest is brown ochreous, 

 but the long ocellar triangle is a little shining and its base 

 and the absolute vertex are rather shining orange ; the whole 

 head is covered with tiny golden pubescence ; the bristles as 

 in C, leptogaster, but stouter in proportion. Face yellow, but 

 the lower half of the antennal pit is shining black ; the 

 narrow lower eye-margins slightly silvery. iSide view : — 

 Antenna with deep black basal joints and orange third, 

 which is just perceptibly suffused on its edge ; arista pale 

 brown, with widely bipectinate flagellum, the total breadth of 

 the pectination being about equal to the breadth of third ; 

 palpi deep black, tongue yellow. Hind head entirely shining
