NOTES ON THE ETHIOPIAN FRUIT-FLIES — I. 229 



2. Leucotaeniella pentaspila, sp. no v. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but at once distinguished on account of its 

 three scutellar black spots and of the somewhat different wing pattern. 



?. Length of body, about 5 mm. ; of ovipositor, 1 mm. ; of wing, 5 mm. 



Head wanting in case of type. Thorax as in the preceding, but there is no trace 

 of the yellow lateral stripes, and behind the suture there is a faint, blackish pattern 

 of a triangular shape; the whitish markings are as in the preceding species, and 

 likewise the deep black spots on the postalar calli. Scutellum with the apical spot, 

 and besides with a rounded spot on each side, just behind the root of the b. set. ; 

 these spots are partly visible from above. Mesophragma dark brown, blackish 

 below, and with a black patch beneath the double hypopleural spot. Halteres 

 whitish. Abdomen as in the preceding species, with three broad, whitish, transverse 

 bands ; ovipositor similarly reddish. Legs entirely pale yellowish. Wings with the 

 basal band less distinct, almost divided into spots, the basal cells being almost entirely 

 hyaline, with only a few dark streaks at the end ; costal cell hyaline, with only a dark 

 spot on each end ; stigma hyaline, with a rounded, blackish, basal spot. The oblique 

 2nd band is as in the preceding species, but narrower and uniformly darkened. The 

 fore border is rather broad, but shows no distinct clear spots along the costa and is 

 uniformly darkened ; the oblique streak running from it is narrower and at the base 

 rather separated from it. The incomplete band on the hind cross-vein is narrow, 

 and above does not extend into the first posterior cell, or only slightly so. The 

 neuration is identical with that of the preceding species. 



Type $ (British Museum), a single specimen without a head, from Anglo- Egyptian 

 Sudan {H. H. King). 



IV. Chelyophora, Rondani, 1875. 



As stated by Prof. Hendel, after examination of the type, this genus is coincident 

 with my own genus Stictaspis, 1913 ; it is however to be remarked that Rondani in 

 his diagnosis says of the third antennal joint : " nee distincte eoncavo superne, nee 

 apice mucronulato." 



1. Chelyophora magniceps, sp. nov. 



Rather like striata, but distinguished by its shorter third antennal joint, only 

 two i. or., different pattern of back and scutellum, and the fuscous band over the hind 

 cross- vein being united with the basal one, instead of being united with the costal 

 border. 



$. Length of body, 6 mm. ; of ovipositor, 2 '5 mm. ; of wing, 6 mm. 



Head less compressed, as broad as high, the frons therefore much broader than 

 in striata. Occiput entirely yellowish, shining above, whitish and opaque on the 

 rather developed lower swellings ; frons golden yellow, with faint sericeous 

 reflexions ; ocellar spot reddish ; lunula and face whitish ; jowls very broad, with 

 an indistinct dark reddish spot below the eye. The eyes are shorter, and pro- 

 portionally less narrowed than in striata. Antennae entirely reddish, short, not 

 reaching the middle of the face ; 3rd joint only twice as long as the 2nd, rather broad, 

 with a sharp point on its upper terminal corner ; arista very long plumose. Palpi 

 pale yellowish, with short black bristles ; proboscis reddish. All the cephalic
