56 Mr. K. G. Blair on some neio 



differs from the other four described species in having a 

 yellow scutellum. It may be mentioned that in none of the 

 species (including D . flavipennis, Skuse, a specimen of which 

 I have examined) does the anal vein quite reach the hind 

 margin. In an undescribed species in the British Museum 

 from Ashanti, the costa extends slightly beyond the tip of 

 the radial sector. 



The following Walkerian types in the British Museum are 

 assignable to different genera from those in which they were 

 originally described : — 



Plafywa insolita belongs to Symmerus (but Scj is rather long, 



ending free). 

 Leia unicohr „ Mycomyia (s. str.). 



„ indivisa „ Mycomyia (Neoempheria). 



„ nubilipoinis „ Acrodicrania (butCiu is not detached 



at base). 

 Mycetophila apicalis „ lioletina ( = B. longicauda, Lundstr., 



1912). 

 „ cinctkornis „ Boletina ( = B. niyricoxa, Staeg., 



Lundstr. ; hypopygium identical, 

 but has yellow coxae). 

 „ concolor „ Boletina ( = B. sciai-i?ia, Mg.). 



„ despecta „ Phronia. 



„ pleheia „ Exechia. 



„ bifasciafa „ Dynatosoma*

Blaps armata. 



Elongata, prothorace leviter transverso, lateribus rcgulariter arcu- 

 atis, marginibus reflexis, dorso convexiusculo subtiliter punctu- 

 lato ; elytris elongato-ovatis, apice sat acute rotundato haud 

 caudato; femoribus anticis ante apicem acute dentatis. 



Long. 30 mm. 



Hah. Chitral (/?. Hill) ; Fort Sandeman (E. P. Stealing). 



This species, of which only the female is before me, seems 

 to be very distinct from any' other described species. From 

 B. femorah's, Fisch., which has the anterior femora toothed, 

 it differs, inter alia, in being only half as long and in in- 

 habiting a different region ; it cannot be placed in Asidoblaps
