174 Miss G. llicarclo on the Pangoninaj 



Pangonia notahilis, ? , Walker, Dipt. Saund. pt. i. p. IS 

 (1850). 



The type is a female, not a male as Walker says. The 

 palpi have the second joint long, curved, one width throughout. 

 The underside of the abdomen has three rows of black spots. 

 The wings have an appendix. This and subvaria, umbra, 

 Walker, Jilipalp is, arcuata, 'S^'iW., fuscipemiis, Wiedem., and 

 flavescens, sp. n., from South America, and fusiformis, Wlk., 

 from North America, form a well-marked group, distinguished 

 by the shape of the palpi and antennge, the latter with the 

 first annulation of the third joint wide, and the last one nearly 

 as long as the four preceding together. They are large flies, 

 with long-shaped abdomen.

This was incorrectly placed by Walker under Tabanus, as 

 T. testaceus, Macq. ; it is a Pangonia, apparently undescribed 

 tillnow. Yellow. Antennee bright yellow, the first two joints 

 greyish, the first annulation of the third joint is wider than the 

 second joint. Proboscis short and stout. Face darker in 

 colour at base, with some black hairs. Beard white. Palpi 

 red, bordered with short black hairs, long and curved, the 

 same width throughout. Ocelli present. Thorax bordered on 

 margin with yellow-orange hairs, as is the scutelluni. 

 Abdomen long, slightly darker in colour at the apex. Legs 

 yellow, posterior femora with black pubescence. Wings 

 hyaline, darker on fore border and at base, with a long- 

 appendix. Length 18-19 millim.
