BoMBYLIIDiE. 
Jaennicke discusses the Eiiropeaii species of this family (Berl. ent. 
Zeitschr. 1807, pp. 66-76J, of which he also describes sonle new species. In 
some introductory remarks (/. c. pp. 68-64) he refers to the peculiar scales 
which occur in place of hairs upon some Bombyliidse, and especially describes 
the different forms of these appendages to be met with in Exoprosopa stupida 
(Rossi). Ehtliiria minuta (Eab.) is recorded as new to Germany. The fol- 
lowing synonymic indications may be cited : — Anthrax paniscus (Rossi) = 
var. hottentotta (Linn.); L. helzehul and sahcea (Tab.) are probably identical. 
The notices of other known species chiefly relate to their geographical 
distribution and comparative abundance or rarity.
