454 ^- Brunetti : Oriental Bomhylidce. [Voi,. II, 



21. albofulva, Wlk., 1852, Ins. Saund., pt. iii, 182, cf . 

 lyOC. — East India. 



N.B. — If I have identified this species correctly, it is a widely 

 distributed one throughout at least India. It has been taken by 

 me at Muttra, 22-iv-05 ; Meerut, 25-iv-o5 ; Ferozepore, 28-iv-o5 ; 

 and by Mr. Howlett at Allahabad, 24 — 29-iii-o6 (all these localities 

 being in India). In size the above examples vary from barely 4 

 to 6^ mm. The femora are sometimes darker than usual ;. in other 

 specimens all the legs are wholly pale yellow. 



22. clausa, mihi, sp. nov., cf . 



lyOC. — Lower Burma. Type in Indian Museum. 



Species described as Anthrax, but requiring confirmation 



AS BEI/ONGING TO THAT GENUS. 



1. angustata, DoL, 1858, Nat. Tijd. Ned. Ind., xvii, 93. 

 lyOC. — A mhoina. 



2. bimaculat Wlk., 1849, List Dip. Brit. Mus., ii, 254, 9 • 

 lyOC. — China. Type no longer in British Museum, presumably 



lost. 



N.B. — Presumably from South China, as most of the older 

 specimens were from that region, but if it is from North China 

 the species will have to be removed from the Oriental list and ad- 

 mitted to the Palaearctic fauna. 



3. prctendens, Wlk., i860, Pr. Linn. So. Lond., iv, iii, $ . 

 Loc. — Macassar. 



4. praedicans, Wlk., i860', loc. cit., p. 112, 5 . 

 Loc. — Macassar. 



5. apicifera, Wlk., 1865, loc. cit., viii, p. iii. 

 Loc. — Papua. 



N .B. — Of the above five species I can obtain no information 

 as to their generic position. 



Note on Anthrax cmarginatat Mcq. 



A species under this name is included by Van der Wulp 

 as an Eastern species, giving Timor as the locality, but I can trace 

 no Oriental reference to the species at all, and Macquart's type 

 was described from Philadelphia, and is, moreover, retained (under 

 Exoprosopa) in Aldrich's recent Catalogue of North American 

 Diptera. 



In Macquart's figure the venation is certainly that of 

 Argyramoeba. Van der Wulp places it under Anthrax. Moreover,
