Tabanidae of Colombia 
seemingly records his auricauda also from Bogota, but this is 
probably erroneous. Krober ( 1930# ) referred two females from 
the Magdalena River, Colombia, to pyrausta . — Not seen by us 
from Colombia. 
26. Fidena nigricorpus Krober, 1934. Synonym: Melpia nigri- 
cans Krober, 1930g; not Erephopsis nigricans Ad. Lutz, 1909, 
now placed in Melpia . 
Krober’s types of his M. nigricans came from Colombia 
(without definite locality) and Brazil. — Not seen by us. 
27. Fidena auribarba (Enderlein). Synonym: Melpia auribarb a 
Enderlein, 1925. 
Enderlein described this species originally from Colombia, 
without definite locality (“Cordillera, tierra caliente”). He also 
described a F. auribarba var. albibarba (Enderlein, 1925) from 
Colombia (“Cordillera, tierra caliente”). — Not seen by us. 
*28. Fidena aureopygia Krober, 19310. 
Choco: Opogodo, type locality of the species. — Valle del 
Cauca: Aji, Rio Naya (S. Renjifo). 
29. Fidena fulvosericea Krober, 1931a. 
This species was described from “Darien, Colombia.” The 
region known as Darien borders on the Gulf of Uraba and ex- 
tends more in the present territory of Colombia than in the 
Republic of Panama. — Not seen by us. 
Krober (1930c) records as Sackenimyia analis (Fabricius) 
two females from Colombia (“Cordillera, tierra caliente”). It 
is impossible to decide to which genus they may have belonged. 
The identity of Fabricius’ Pangonia analis (1805) is not settled. 
What Ad. Lutz referred (doubtfully) to analis was a species of 
Melpia ( = Bombylopsis Ad. Lutz) , a genus not definitely known 
from Colombia. 
Krober ( 1933a) also mentions having seen a female of Fidena 
sorbens (Wiedemann), at the Berlin Museum, labelled as from 
the Cordillera of Colombia. He doubts, however, the correct- 
ness of the locality, which we feel is certainly erroneous. It is 
most unlikely that this species from southern Brazil and Para- 
guay would occur in Colombia. 
30. Fidena columbiensis (Krober). Synonym: Melpia colum- 
biensis Krober, 1930g. 
Choco: Condoto (“Upper Condosa” is no doubt a misspelling
