m6 ZOOLOGY 



any locality in the Uganda Protectorate, this s])ecies, like the former, can safely be 

 assumed to extend into it, since T. latipes and T. hu/utUitus, Wied., are perhaps the two 

 most widely distributed— as in appearance they are among the most striking— species- 

 of Tabamis in Central and Southern Africa. Of 7\ latipes the Museum possesses 

 further specimens from Kinsembo, in Angola ; the White Nile (Consul Petherick) ;. 

 Witu (Imperial British East Africa Company) ; Delagoa Bay (H. A. Spencer) ; Durban 

 (Plant) ; Malvern and Isipingo, Natal, February, 1896 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; Kiliman- 

 jaro (F. J. Jackson) ; Ngatana (W. J. Gregory) ; and Lake Nyasa (Bellingham). 



ASILID-E. 



Hyperechia sp. (}»robably new). Entebbe, October, 1900 (Sir H. H. Johnston, K.C.B.). 



Syrphid.e. 



Plagiocera macxdipennis, Lw. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Between Katwe and Buamba. 



Plagiocera sp. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). — Between Katwe and Buamba. Near but 

 distinct from PI. maculipennis, Lw., as shown by the more incrassated hind femora, 

 a dark transverse band on the front, the colour of the thorax posteriorly, and the colour 

 of the abdomen, which is also more .shining. 



Plagiocera 1 sp. nov. (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Between Katwe and Buamba ; and 

 Ruwenzori, 6,000 to 8,C00 feet. 



Syrphus adligatus, Wied. Between Katwe and Buamba ; Ruwenzori, 6000 to 

 8,000 feet (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Other specimens of this species in the British ^Museum 

 collection are from Ulundi, Natal, 5,000 to 6,500 feet, September, 1896 (G. A. K. Marshall) ; 

 Delagoa Bay (K. W, Plant) ; and Cape of Good Hope. 



Syrphus intersectus, W^ied. Between Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). I 

 am not altogether satisfied as to the correct identification of this specie.s, especially 

 since Mr. Scott-Elliot's specimens (the only ones in the collection) are in very jjoor 

 condition. 



Asarkina sp. (?nov.). Ruwenzori, 7,000 to 8,000 feet (G. F. Scott-Elliot). Near 

 Asarkina eremophila, Lw., but the yellow bands on the second and following segments 

 of the abdomen of uniform width, not constricted in the middle. 



Asarkina ericetorum, Fabr. (Asarki7ia salvice, Lw., " Di]it. Fauna S. Afrikas"). Between 

 Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). This is a very Avidely distributed species- 

 in Asia as well as in Africa. The Museum collection includes specimens from Sikkim, 

 2,000 to 3,000 feet, August, 1895 (J. G. Pilcher) ; N. Bengal (Lieut. Campbell) ; Ceylon 

 (Col. YerburyandE. E. Green); Mount Ophir (Wallace) ; Penangand Singapore (H. N. 

 Ridley) ; Sumatra (Sir Stamford Raffles) ; Lawas, N.-W. Borneo, July, 1895 (A. Everett);. 

 Labuan, March, 1895 (A. Everett) ; Masauadel (D. W. Barker) ; Sierra Leone, September^ 

 1899 (E. E. Austen, Capt. Clements) ; Fernando Po (Louis Fraser) ; Delagoa Bay 

 (R. W. Plant). 



Megaspis sp. Between Katwe and Buamba (G. F. Scott-Elliot). 



MusciD.E. 



Dejeania sp. (probably new). Between Katwe and Buamba (one specimen) ;. 

 Ruwenzori, 7,000 to 8,000 feet (one specimen) ; Ruwenzori, 9,000 feet (three specimens) 

 (G. F. Scott-Elliot). In the list of Mtiscidcn (excluding Anthomyitice) of the world 

 published by Prof. Braner in 1891 (Denkochr. K. Akad. Wiss. Wien., Bd. Iviii, pp. 398- 

 443), the only African Dejeania is D. (Stomoxys) hombylans, Fabr.— a yellow species^
