6. AiiLLOPUS HIItUNDO. 



Macroglossa hirundo, Gerstacker, Arch. Nat. xxxvii. p. 360 (1871) j Von der Decken's Reisen in 

 Ost-Afnca, Glicderthiere, p. 375, no. 30. Taf. xv. fig. 7 (1873). 



September, 18G2, Mombas (Gerstacker). 



Allied to A. commasia, but constantly differing in the clothing of the upper surface 

 of the head, thorax, base of abdomen, and of the wings, which are greyish mouse- 

 brown ; the bands of the primaries are also not arranged in pairs, but are wide apart ; 

 the dorsal region of the abdomen has the third and fourth (not the second and third) 

 segments banded with blue-white. 



This species is also said to occur at the Cape. 



Genus 7. Stenolopiiia, Felder.

Stenolopiiia tenebrosa. 

 Stenolophia tenebrosa, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. iv. tab. lxxxii. fig. 3 (Nov. 187J;. 



Very like Perigonia glaucescens, Walker ; and (not having seen the insect) I am rather 

 inclined to think it is a nearly allied Perigonia with the anal tuft rubbed off.
