. Annals of the South African Museum = Annale van die Suid-Afrikaanse Museum. Natural history. Text-fig. i io. (a) Side view of head of 6* Lomatia conostoma n. sp. (b) Right antenna of $ of same species (from inner side). yellowish brownish; basal comb reduced; first posterior cell not narrowed, very broadly open apically, longer than discoidal cell; the latter subtruncate to truncate apically; middle cross vein varying in position from about halfway between apical third and apical fourth to halfway between apical sixth and apical seventh of discoidal cell, more often however between a little less than or a little more than apical fourth of the cell; alula and axillary lobe normally reduced, though lobe of alula at base of axillary lobe is distinct and the latter is slightly more arcuately rounded in <$; squamae opaquely greyish whitish to brownish, dark- bordered, fringed with white hairs; halteres usually dark brownish, the knobs dark choco- late-brownish above, sometimes tending to be yellowish brownish or smoky greyish above. Head (text-fig. i io) with the interocular space in front of tubercle in $ usually a little broader than front ocellus to about as broad as length of antennal joint 2; space on ver- tex in about, or a little more than, 2 times distance between outer margins of posterior ocelli; frons foveately depressed anteriorly, only gradually and slightly diverging anteriorly in $, the hairs anteriorly confined to sides; face (text-fig. no, a) markedly conical or subconically prominent from side, more so than in other species, its apical part cone-like, smooth and shining; antennal joint 3 (text-fig. no, a) characteristic in £3 much, but gradually, broadened basally, ham-shaped or leg-of-mutton-shaped, in $ more rapidly broadened basally below, more bulb-shaped or almost golf- driver-club-shaped (text-fig. no, b), the styliform part in $ thus longer and more slender; proboscis rather short, usually confined to buccal cavity or with only the apices o
