ERNEST E. AUSTEX— DIPTERA. 99 



slightly in advance, of a complete transverse row of macrochtettie ; anal segments 

 clothed with fine hair; venter olive-grey poUinose, looking darker when viewed from 

 certain directions. Wings : veins, except first longitudinal, end of auxiliary, distal 

 portion of fourth longitudinal, and transverse veins or portions of longitudinal veins 

 covered by dark spots mainly cinnamon-rufous ; third longitudinal vein alone seti- 

 gerous, bristles extending from point of origin of second longitudinal vein to rather 

 less than half-way between this and small transverse vein ; besides large circular spot 

 surrounding small transverse vein, base of bent up portion of fourth longitudinal vein, 

 from angle to point where vein is bent outwards, and posterior transverse vein are also 

 clouded with clove-brown (m case of posterior transverse vein colour is darker at each 

 end of the streak) ; a fourth dark fleck is situate at distal extremity of basal fourth of 

 ■wing, lying in first basal cell immediately above transverse vein forming proximal 

 boundary of discal cell, and also extending into base of discal cell itself. Squamm

The conspicuous vving-markings of Sarcuphaga notatipennis at once distinguish it 

 from any of its African congeners at present known, since Sarcophaga spilogaster 

 Wied. (Anal. Ent. p. 50, & Auss. zweifl. Ins. ii. 1830, p. 362. — Cape of Good Hope) 

 and S. octomaculata Jaenn. (Abhandl. der Senckenb. Gesellsch. Bd. vi., 1867, p. 379. — 

 Massowah), both of which have similarly spotted wings, belong to the genus 

 Angiometopa Br. & von Berg., owing to the fact that in them the abdomen bears fixed 

 black spots, in addition to the usual shimmering chequered pattern, though the latter, 

 in the case of A. spilogaster, at any rate, is much reduced.

cJ . — Length (1 specimen) 10"5 mm. ; width of head 3"25 mm. ; width of front at 

 vertex 1 mm. ; length of wing 8'8 mm. 



Grey, with shimmering patches on abdomen ; dorsum of thorax with three broad clove- 

 broivn longitudinal stripes, extending from front to hind margin, and a shorter stripe on

 and flanked on each side by a sldmmering grey patch ; median dark area on fourth 

 segment narroioer than that on third, which is narrower than that on second ; posterior 

 angles of median areas eacli produced outwards into a dark blotch, which has a greyish- 

 olivaceous sheen when viewed from certain directions ; first anal segment clove-brown, 

 greyish pollinose, second anal segment ferruginous ; all hair and bristles on body and 

 legs black ; wings hyaline, ivithout spots; bristles on sides of face fine, rather numerous,
