should not be retained even as a subgenus, as there seems no important structural 

 character to distinguish these species from the rest. 



Leicester (I.e. p. 226) describes a very similar, but probably distinct species 

 as U. bimaculaia ; in this the black spots on the mesonotum are, he says, due to 

 patches of black scales.

One Q from Mpumu, July, 1910 (Capt. A. D. Fraser) seems to belong to this 

 species, but the thorax is rather yellower and to some extent approaches the 

 following species.

It is doubtful if Leicester's U. lutescens {I.e. p. 222) from Malaya is distinct 

 from U. nigripes.

 It is with great reluctance that a new generic name is introduced into a family 

 which is already so overburdened with names, but in this case the procedure 

 seems unavoidable. As already pointed out, the type species of Theobald's 

 Mimomyia is generically distinct from the other members, and is in fact a 

 Ludloivia. Leicester's Dasymyia is certainly applicable to the species erroneously 

 placed in Mimomyia, as the only important difference between them and his 

 D. fusca seems to be that in the latter the larger claw on the fore and mid legs 

 of the male is toothed. Unfortunately, however, Dasymyia is preoccupied in
