Tabanidae of Colombia 
appears improbable, particularly as Walker did not mention a 
black spot on the scutellum. — Not seen by us. 
Walker (1848) referred doubtfully to the North American 
Tabanus lasiophthalmus Macquart, a specimen collected in 
Colombia by Goudot. This identification was certainly errone- 
ous and probably based on a specimen of T. quadripunctatus 
Fabricius. 
*126. Diachlorus curvipes (Fabricius). Synonym: Hoemato pot a 
curvipes Fabricius, 1805. 
Boyaca: Muzo (J. Bequaert; reported by Bequaert, 1944). 
— Valle del Cauca: Veneral, Rio Yurumangui (S. Renjifo). 
Krober (1928) reports Diachlorus ferrugatus (Fabricius) 
from Colombia, without definite locality; but this is certainly 
due to some error. 
127. Acanthocera albomarginata (Krober). Synonym: Sphecio- 
gaster albomarginata Krober, 1930. 
Choco: Condoto, the type locality. — Not seen by us. 
*128. Acanthocera formosa Krober, 1930^. 
Meta: Restrepo (T. Bequaert. — Reported also by G. Fair- 
child, 1939). 
*129. Acanthocera trigonif era Schiner, 1868. 
Cundinamarca: Bogota (reported by Krober, 1928). — 
Magdalena: Santa Marta (F. L. Gallego). — The occurrence 
of this species near Bogota needs to be confirmed.
