The longest hairs ou arista are distinctly longer than its 

 hasal diameter, the third autennal segment is produced into 

 a sliarj) point at apex above, and falls short of month-margin 

 by a distance abont equal to its M'idth ; there is a strong 

 bristle above the vibrissa ; all the steruo-plenrals are strong, 

 and the median pair of bristles on hind tibia are transversely 

 placed. 



Length 7 mm. 



Type, Willow Grange, Natal [R. C. Wroughton). 



Caricea culopuda (Bezzi). 



A very striking species. Fore femur with a long dorsal 

 stripe, and mid and hind femora with a dorsal stripe on 

 apical third or more fuscous ; tarsi fuscous. Thorax with 

 three almost confluent dark brown vittae, and a series of 

 elongate brown spots at bases of dorso-centrals, the median 

 vitta extending to anterior margin and over disc of scutellum; 

 abdomen with a series of elongate dorso-central spots and 

 lateral spots on each segment dark brown. Arista very 

 short-haired ; anterior sterno-pleural bristle very weak and 

 short ; basal sternite bare ; basal half of antero-ventral and 

 ventral surfaces of fore femora rather conspicuously setulose. 



Length 7 mm. 



I have before me two females from the edge of the forest 

 on the east side of the Aberdare Mts., Kenya Colon v, 

 24. ii. 1911, 7300 feet {T. J. Anderson). 



Caricea atroapicata, sp. u. 



Male and female. — Similar to the preceding species in 

 general colour, the antennse black, palpi fuscous basally, 

 blackened apically. The thoracic vitta3 are similar, but the 

 median one is not carried over disc of scutellum. The fore 

 femur has the black dorsal stripe broader and present only 

 on the apical half. The median bristles on hind tibiae are 

 closer together than in calopoda, the anterior one being but 

 little basad of the antero-dorsal one, while in calopoda it is 

 very distinctly so. The fore and hind tibiae are also more 

 distinctly hairy. The male has one or two very fine out- 

 standing hairs near apices of basal two segments of hind 

 tarsi on anterior side. Hypopygium small; fifth sternite 

 with rather dense short ban's along margins of processes. 



Length 6 mm. 



Type, male, Kondoa Itangi, Tanganyika Territory, 

 12. vi. 1916, 4400 feet {W. A.Lamborn). Allotype, Ufomi, 

 Tanganyika Terr., 6. vi. 1916. One male paratype, same 

 data as allotype [IV. A. Lamhnrn).
