the base ; there is in the marginal cell a dark spot below the stigma 

 and connected with it ; a broad band, as in the preceding species, 

 united with the less distinct pre-apical band in the first posterior 

 cell. 



Type <$ and type $ from the Uganda Protectorate, Mabira 

 Forest, Chagwe, 3,500-3,800 ft., 16-25. vii. 1911 (S. A. Neave}. 



Subfamily III. MERODONTIN.E. 



Genus 11. PROTYLOCERA, Bezzi (1912). 



This name was introduced by me to replace Stenaspis (Senaspig) t 

 which is preoccupied in Coleoptera ; I had previously adopted the 

 name Dolichomerus, which, however, having for type crassus, Fabr., 

 is completely identical with Phytomia (31eyaspis). All the species 

 of the present genus have a common facies and are easy to recognise ; 

 but there are some variations, and forms with open marginal cell 

 or with pubescent eyes are perhaps to be included here. The genus 

 is eminently characteristic of the Ethiopian fauna.

a broad black median band.
