In the Transvaal Museum. Length of body: about 6-8 mm. Length of wing: about 6J-8J mm. Locality: Bechuanaland. The species appears to vary considerably in size and certain specimens may reach a length of 9 J-12 mm., with a wing-length of about 10-12\ mm. Exoprosopa aphelosticta n. sp. This species, based on a solitary ^-specimen, may only be a specialized local variety of mira, but as it differs in certain important respects, it is provisionally.
