REVISION OF THE BOMBYLIIDAE (DIPTERA) OF SOUTHERN AFRICA 235 the veins between second basal, anal and fourth posterior cells and between discoidal and first, second, third and fourth posterior cells and to a lesser extent along basal parts of veins bounding third and fourth posterior cells; basal half of first submarginal cell almost clear and vitreous hyaline like apical part of wings beyond apex of costal cell, second basal and discoidal cells, posterior cells and anal and axillary cells; extreme base of wings blackish brown; first vein, those at extreme base and basal half of fifth vein yellowish to pale yellowish reddish, the rest of veins darker reddish brown to blackish brown; basal comb dark, moderately developed; base of vein between submarginal cells sometimes bent down almost at right angles and with an indication of a stump at this bend; first posterior cell spindle-shaped, usually much narrowed apically, the vein between it and second posterior cell markedly sinuous; middle cross vein varying in position from a little less to a little more than apical fourth of discoidal cell; the latter acute apically, its apical vein longish, S-curved; axillary lobe and alula well developed; squamae subopaquely whitish, white- fringed ; knobs of halteres almost white. Head with the interocular space on vertex in <$ as broad as ocellar tubercle, space in front of latter only a little broader than front ocellus or about as wide as front part of tubercle; interocu- lar space on vertex in $ a little less than 2 times distance between outer margins of posterior ocelli; frons slightly depressed anteriorly and with only a small bare area anteriorly; face not distinctly convex medially; antennal joint 3 broadened bulb-like basally and slightly less than apical half slender; proboscis projecting beyond buccal cavity to opposite level of base of antennal joint 3, with some fine hair
