Mkmbers of tlie peculiar family of gnat-like insects, the 

 Blepharocerida3, are known from many parts of the world, 

 but up to the present none have been recorded from the 

 Ethiojjian Region ; and it therefore gives me much pleasure 

 to introduce a species of the family to the African fauna. 



On the 4th of December of last year I received from 

 Mr. K. PI. Barnard, of the South African Museum, a series 

 of fifteen specimens (13 cJ , 2 ? ), together with larvae and 

 pupte, of the insect described below. The adults and pupfe 

 were taken 8. x. 1911, the larvae 9. ix. 1911, at Platteklip 

 Gorge, Table Mt., Cape Town, at an elevation of 1000 feet. 



An examination of these specimens showed them to belong 

 to the genus Kelloggina, which so far is only known from a 

 single specimen from Brazil. The generic characters given 

 by Williston all occur in the South African species, with one 

 unimportant exception. Williston states that in K. rufescens 

 thsre is a " strong oblique cross- vein connecting the fourth 

 vein before the anterior cross-vein with the stem of the 

 I'orked vein behind ; " in our species this cross-vein is 

 entirely absent in the majority of specimens, but in two or 

 three it is represented by a stump from the fourth vein, 

 continued, though faint, to just before the bifurcation of the 

 fifth and sixth veins. Hence, as this character is variable, I 

 consider that the present species comes well within the limits 

 of the genus Kelloggina, and propose to name it, after its 

 discoverer, 



Kelloggina harnardi, sp. n,
