Light brown, nearly black over clypeus, coxae and abdomen ; carinae of thorax lighter, traces of fighter spots on face. Tegmina hyaline, a curved, fuscous mark from cross-veins over cubitus extending along veins to the apex of media and cubitus, veins basad of cross-veins yellowish, distad of cross-veins darker, granules few and small; wings hyaline with brown veins. Pygofer as figured (fig. 4). Length, 1*9 mm. ; tegmen, mm. Nigeria : Oleke-Meji, Ibadan, 1914 (J. C. Bridwell). Described from one male. Genus Megamelus, Fieber. There are a number of closely allied species of this genus having similar facies, with a wide distribution. Only a close comparison of series from various localities will enable one to decide where one species ends and another begins. I sank M. kolophon (Kirk.) into M. furcifer (Horv.), but I believe it will be better to retain the name as a variety until more material has been studied. I now recognise three varieties of this species, viz. :— 1. M. furcifer (Horv.) (fig. 5). The fork at apex of the genital styles small; clavus with a small black mark at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Great Britain.
