 the advent of so desirable a consummation. 



Bezzi is not strictly correct in statin^j [loc. cit. p. 80) that 

 the species of Tabaiiid* described by Thunberg (Nov. Act. 

 K. Soc. Sci. Upsal. ix. 1827, pp. 53-75) are "entirely 

 wantiniij " from Kertesz's ' Catalogus Tabanidarum ' (1900), 

 since Tabauus ruher^ Thunb. {loc. cit. p. 56. — Habitat un- 

 known), and Tuhanus triceps, Thunb. {loc. cit. p. b\'>. — 

 Cayenne and Brazil), are duly recorded by Kert^sz. The 

 inclusion of these species, however, in view of the exclusion 

 of all the others, is certainly remarkable. 



Tanyglossa ci/u/ulata, Thunb. {he. cit. p. 70, tab. i. fig. 8.

From Thunberg^s description and tigure, Fcnigo'iia con-

p. 135. — S. Afiica). Avould appear to be identical with 



Tanyglossa pnlcra, Thunb. {/oc. cit. p. 72, tab. i. fig. 9), 



which, however, is stated to be from Brazih 



Tanyglossa rostrata, Thunb. {loc. cit. p. 75, tab, i. fig. 13. 



— Cape of Good Hope), ajparently = P«/?^o/u'a [Tabanus)

Tanyglossa obscura, Thunb. {loc. cit. p. 73, tab. i. fig. 10. 

 — Locahty not given), is a Fangonia, as stated by Bezzi —

[Tanyglossa cleustu, Thunb. {loc. cit. p. 68, tab. i. fig. 7. — 

 Biazil), is not a Neinestrinid, as su<i:gested by B>'zzi, but = 

 JJeterosfylum ritfam, Olivier (fam. Bombylidffi).]

— Caj)e of Good Hope). — Apparently this is the species 

 previously (Mus. Nat. Acad. Upsal. Dissertationes, Pars 7 

 (1789) p. 91) described by Thuijbergas Tabanus ccthiopicus* . 

 lie this as it may, there can be no doubt that it is a Pan- 

 gonia, and not P. rosirata, L., as Bezzi believes, but 

 P. (Corizoneura) varicolor, Wied. (Auss. Zw. Ins. i. (1828) 

 p. 98 : syn. P. nppendiculata, Macq.). "Wiedemann's name 

 consequently becomes a synonym, and the species must 

 henceforth be known as Pangonia athiopica, Thunb. 



Tanyglossa tlioracica, Tluinb. [he. cit. p. 71. — Locality 

 nnknown), is a Pangonia, apparently allied to 1'. angulata, 

 Fabr. H' so, it must be from IS. Africa. 



According to Bezzi {loc. cit. p. 83, note 2), with the excep- 

 tion of Mydus nitida, none of the species of exotic Hiptera
