This family has been revised recently by Dr Hendel, and in the course of his work 
the material from the British Museum was placed at his disposal; this included several 
new species from the Seychelles. Only one further undescribed species is therefore 
dealt with here, namely a member of the genus Acrosticta (Loew): this genus is an 
interesting occurrence, since it has hitherto been known only from North and South 
America, with the exception that one species (A. pallipes Grimshaw) is common both 
to Bolivia and Peru and Hawaii (see Hendel, Wien. Ent. Zeit., xxviii. (1909), p. 249).
