 Boinbyl. tricolor Gu^R. Iconogr. Ins. PI. 95, fig. 4, from Bengal. 



In the proper genus Bonibylius the body is woolly ; they hover over 

 flowers, whilst they suck them, like humming bees (Bombi). According to 

 MACLEAY the larvas live upon larvae of these bees ; the pupae are found 

 under ground. WESTWOOD, Introduction, n. p. 542. 



Nemestrina LATE. Antennse porrect, remote, triarticulate, with 

 style elongate, setiform, terminal. Proboscis very long, at rest 

 inflected under the body. Thorax not gibbous. Tarsi with three

 GUERIN Iconogr., Ins. PI. 95, fig. 7 ; from the Cape of Good Hope. In 

 this species, and in most of the remaining, the point of the wing is di-

 which make up the genus Fallenia MEIG. 



Anthrax ScOPOLi, FABR. Antennae small, triarticulate, fur- 

 nished with terminal style, mostly remote. Proboscis mostly short, 

 sometimes retracted.
