Type (female) and tliree other females. 



This species is distinct in colouring from any species of 

 Pangonia from Africa known to me as yet. 



Blackish-brown species, with dull yellowish-grey bands on 

 the abdomen ; palpi and antennae reddish. 



Face short, shining, black, with a centre band of grey 

 tomentum, which also covers the cheeks and lower part of 

 the face, so that the shining black portion appears as a large 

 oval spot on each side. Forehead long, obscurely black, 

 covered with dense yellowish tomentum, which, liowever, is 

 more or less absent in the middle of the forehead and at the 

 vertex. Antennae bright reddish yellow, the first two joints 

 duller in colour, with a few yellowish hairs. Palpi reddish 

 yellow, long and slender, the first joint longer than the second, 

 which is wide at base, curved, and tapering to a moderately 

 long poiiit, furrowed on the upper surface, with some black 

 pubescence. Proboscis nearly as long as body. Eyes bare. 

 Beard white. Thorax brown, densely covered with short 

 fulvous pubescence j sides and breast with yellowish hairs, the 

 scutellum the same. Abdomen blackish ; the first segment 

 slightly red at the sides, densely covered with dull dirty grey 

 tomentum, with some scattered whitish hairs ; on all the 

 remaining segments a narrow band of the same-coloured 

 tomentum is present on the posterior borders, extending in the 

 middle as a triangular spot, which last is most distinct on the 

 second segment, where the band is slightly broader ; the 

 pubescence at the sides is whitish, on the grey bands are a 

 few scattered white hairs ; underside blackish, with short 

 grey pubescence, the extreme side-borders of the sixth and 

 seventh segments are reddish. Legs light reddish, hind legs 

 brownish. Wings hyaline, veins reddish brown, the first 

 posterior cell narrowed but open ; a long appendix on the 

 fork of the third vein.

Corizoneura ohscura, ? , sp. n. 



A new species from Blantyre, British Central Africa, 

 Nov. 1904 (Dr. J. E. S. Old). 



Type (female). 



This species is probably related to P. chrt/sopila, Macq., 

 and P. nobilis, Wied., both authors apparently describing 

 one and the same species, in which case Macquart's name 

 must be merged as a synonym of P. nobilis^ Wied. Both 

 descriptions speak of the face and forehead as being reddish,
