REVISION OF THE BOMBYLIIDAE (DIPTERA) OF SOUTHERN AFRICA 207 hyaline parts, the latter in $ appearing less clear hyaline than in $; spot-like infusions present at base of second and third veins, on apical cross veins of basal cells and at bases of veins between submarginal cells and discoidal and third posterior cells respectively, fainter in <$; veins very dark blackish brown; basal comb wanting; first posterior cell widely open, its sides however slightly narrowed apically; second vein normally bent up at its end; discoidal cell somewhat acute apically; axillary lobe and alula much reduced, the former narrowish; squamae opaquely blackish brown, fringed with white hairs; halteres dark brownish, their knobs brownish. Head with the interocular space in front of ocellar tubercle in $ very narrow, almost touching, only as broad as very narrow front ocellus; interocular space on vertex in 5 about 2 times distance between outer margins of posterior ocelli; frons shallowly depressed anteriorly, the middle part in $ being sparsely haired; antennae (text-fig. 52, a) with joint 3 characteristically broadened basally, the lower basal part promi- nently bulging, more or less golf-driver-club-shaped and with the slender part long; proboscis short, stumpy, scarcely projecting, its labellar lobes broad, ovate, quite as long as base. Legs with the fine hairs on femora, especially in q*, well developed; middle femora with 1 spine in front; hind ones with 2 spines in apical outer lower aspect and at least 1 longish spine apically above; basal joint of front tarsi in § with a few longish spicules below apically. Hypopygium of o* (text-fig. 52, b) showing a side view and a dorsal view of right beaked apical joint; outer apical angles of basal parts slightly projecting; dorsum of beaked apical joints with only very fine hair; basal strut shaped as shown, its hind margin darker, more chiti
