 B. luteolateralis, Theo., Mon. Cul. II, p. 71 (1901). 



Newstead's Neomelanoc onion palpale (Ann. Trop. Med. I, p. 31, 1907) is refer- 

 able to this species, as has been proved by an examination of the type (d). 



A single male bred by Dr. A. Ingram may represent a new species allied to 

 B. luteolateralis, but it cannot be described without more material. In this speci- 

 men the neuration is almost exactly as in Mimomyia, and there are very few 

 lateral scales on the veins ; the thin palpi and shorter and less plumose antennae 

 and general appearance, however, show it to be a Banksinella. The thorax is 

 uniformly clothed with golden scales. 



On re-reading the description of Taeniorhynchus africanus, Neveu-Lemaire 

 (Arch. Parasit. X, p. 271, 1906), I am inclined to think it is a Banksinella. The 

 female only has been described, so it is not possible to say definitely, but the
