90 Miss G. Ricardo on 
the anterior branch of the third longitudmal vein. T. d2- 
vittatus seems nearly allied to Bombylius lateralis, Fabr., the 
shading on the cross-veins and the three submarginal cells 
being the chief differences.

Two males from Cape Town (Cregoe). 
As the specimens are gummed on a card, it is not possible 
to examine them thoroughly. One of the specimens has the 
cross-vein dividing the second posterior from the discal cell 
entirely wanting, evidently only an aberration.

Eleven males and thirteen females from Pretoria (W. L. D.) 
and Johannesburg (Cregoe). The Walker type is from 
Sierra Leone and is identical with the female of analis. In 
some of the male specimens the hairs on the apex of the 
abdomen are more or less fulyous.
