Eristalis pachymerus, Wiedem., Zool. Mag. iii. p. 17. 
Three females from Fort Johnston, Nyasaland (Rendall), 
and Barberton (Rendall). 
Eristalis assimilis, Walker, List Dipt. pt. 111. p. 611 (1849). 
Eristalis capito, Loew, Dipt. Sidafrik. p. 321. 
Five males from Pretoria (17. LZ. D.) and one male and 
one female from Fort Johnston, Nyasaland (Rendall). 
These are exactly similar to Walker’s type, and also agree 
exactly with the description of KH. capito given by Loew, 
placed in his Div. I. group 6 (Megaspis). Walker’s name 
must therefore take precedence, but Loew’s description will 
hold good. 
Eristalis curtus, Loew, Dipt. Siidafrik. p. 319 (1860). 
Two males and four females from Pretoria (W. ZL. D.) ; 
one male and one female from Fort Johnston, Nyasaland 
(Rendall).

Eristalis egyptius, W1k., 1. c. p. 621. 
Three females from Barberton (Rendall) and Pretoria 
(W. L. D.). ‘2 
Loew pointed out that HK. egyptius, W1k., is identical with 
this species, and I believe the same to be the case with 
E. torridus, Wlk., on comparing the type in the British 
Museum Collection.
