. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Text-fig. 39. -Side view and half of ventral view of hypopygium of Bombylius kaokoensis n. sp. less spindle-shaped but broadest nearer base, more rapidly attenuated apically than basally, ending apically in a small conical element bearing a short style; proboscis slender and about 2 mm. long. Legs slender and with only about 4 or 5 slender spines on hind ones below; claws distinctly rapidly curved down, almost at right angles, nearer apex, with the pulvilli long and reaching bent-down apices of claws
. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Text-fig. 39. -Side view and half of ventral view of hypopygium of Bombylius kaokoensis n. sp. less spindle-shaped but broadest nearer base, more rapidly attenuated apically than basally, ending apically in a small conical element bearing a short style; proboscis slender and about 2 mm. long. Legs slender and with only about 4 or 5 slender spines on hind ones below; claws distinctly rapidly curved down, almost at right angles, nearer apex, with the pulvilli long and reaching bent-down apices of claws. Hypopygium (text-fig. 39) resembles that of tinctipennis (cf. text-figs. 30 and 31), with the inner apical angles of basal parts triangularly projecting; beaked apical joints not elongate, but not very broad basally, leaf-shaped and depressed above; aedeagus with the apical part slender, just about reaching apices of inner apical angles of basal parts, with a large, lamellate ventral process on each side and pro- j ecting vertically downwards; basal strut more or less chopper-shaped. Type in the South African Museum. Length of body: about 6 mm. Length of wing: about 6J 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 South African Museum.
