REVISION OF THE BOMBYLIIDAE (DIPTERA) OF SOUTHERN AFRICA 735 yellowish or greyish yellowish in streaks on thorax above, separated by dark ones; streak on each side of thorax also yellowish; scaling on abdomen above in form of a broad, dense, conspicuous, white band across base of tergite 2 and as fairly dense whitish or pale yellowish white ones on sides and on last two segments and broadly across hinder halves of tergites, these bands extending broadly and triangularly to bases of tergites along the middle, the hind margin of tergite i and rest of surface discally above on each side, not occupied by whitish ones, covered with black scales; scales on venter mostly whitish, but sometimes dark in patches on sides; scales on legs dark and pale, the dark ones denser, more evident on upper surfaces. Wings relatively narrow, elongate, especially in $, more pointed apically than in other species in this group, brownish to chocolate-brownish in basal and costal parts, less darkly infuscated in hinder part, with clearer, more greyish hyaline areas in apical part of marginal cell, apical part of first submarginal cell, in two apical cells, in apical part of discoidal cell and of first and third posterior cells; praediscoidal clear spot relatively large; infuscations along apical and posterior veins giving wings a subreticulate appearance; distinct darker spots or clouds on cross veins and bifurcations; discoidal cell relatively much narrower than in preceding species, less dilated apically, more acute; middle cross vein just before or at about middle of discoidal cell; second posterior cell markedly obliquely rhomboidal, its basal part distinctly projecting more tongue-like; cut-off part of third posterior cell distinctly much shorter than second part of that cell and cross vein dividing them at right angles to fourth posterior cell; second or apical part of third posterior cell not
