882 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
close allies of Pangonia zonata Walker, which is the type of his genus Stenophara. 
It is also open to question whether all the so-called ‘‘ Pangoniae”’ of the Ethi- 
opian Region with the first posterior cell normally closed before the margin 
actually have bare eyes and no ocelli. 
However, since valid names are available for three of the groups distinguished 
above, I shall provisionally use them in a generic sense. 
Two species recorded from the Belgian Congo appear to belong in Philoliche 
as defined above, although their males do not possess the lappet-like appendages 
of the fore tarsi. The face, however, forms a projecting snout, the size of which 
is evidently correlated with the length of the proboscis; it bears shiny callosities. 
In the absence of specimens the exact generic status of many African “* Pan- 
goniae”’ is open to question, so that the distribution of Philoliche can be given 
only ina general way. The genus appears to be restricted to the East-and-South 
African Subregion and is not known outside the African continent. 
The two species of the Belgian Congo agree in having the hind corners of the 
second, fourth, and fifth abdominal tergites covered with yellowish white hair 
which extends as a fringe along the apical margins; the legs are mostly chestnut- 
brown, the fore and middle tibiae ochraceous-buff, clothed with pale yellowish 
hair; the antennae and palpi are ferruginous or orange-rufous; the proboscis is at 
least half as long as the body (7 to 12 mm.). They may be separated as follows: 
1. Blackish brown, with first two abdominal segments tawny, sometimes more or less 
clove-brown; the middle of third segment often somewhat tawny; the hind borders 
of all the segments lighter. Shiny facial callosities extending to front margin of 
bueeal cavity in male. Hind margin of second ventral segment fringed with silvery 
white bas imamate: Ikeweth. 15 to 16 mime)... een os Me ee Plone: 
Blackish brown, the abdomen uniformly clove-brown with lighter hind borders of seg- 
ments. Shiny facial callosities not extending to front margin of buccal cavity. 
Second ventral segment without shiny white pilosity on.the hind border in male.
