NOTES ON THE ETHIOPIAN FRUIT-FLIES — I. 251 



Described from the Orange Free State, Bloemfontein (Tolliri), I have a $ specimen 

 from Natal, Estcourt, September-October 1896 (G. A. K. Marshall), received from 

 the British Museum many years ago as excellens. 



3. Ocneros excellens, Loew, Berl. Ent. Zeits., v, 1861, p. 265, pi. ii, fig. 5. 



Very distinct from the other species owing to the more reduced wing pattern. 



In this and in the preceding species all the bristles of the head and body are black ; 

 there are 2 i. or. ; no oc. ; ocp. acute and black ; middle scp. well developed ; dc. 

 placed about on the line of the first p. sa. ; 2 equally strong mpl. ; st. strong ; pt. 

 weak or even indistinct. The scutellum rather convex and rounded, bare on the 

 disc, with 4 set. 



Originally described from Caffraria, I have received a $ specimen from 

 Grahamstown from the Albany Museum.
