A Revision of the Bombyliidae (Diptera) of Southern Africa. 953 conspicuous dark intermixed ones on head below and on pleurae, the erect hairs on thorax and scutellum above, those on occiput and very densely on antennal joint 1 dark blackish brown, with, however, some whitish intermixed ones on thorax in front and sides, the pubescence on abdomen entirely white, without anv distinct dark or blackish ones even apically, with the fine, hair-like scaling on abdomen sparse above, sericeous yellowish to brassy, dense on venter and silvery whitish, with the scaling on femora silvery whitish;. Text-fig. 294.—Side, ventral (dorsal) and apical views of hypopygium of <$ Amictogeron barbatus (Bezz.). wings hyaline, but with a distinct sub opaquely milky whitish tint, the veins very dark blackish brown, the discal cross vein beyond middle of discoidal cell and the apical cross vein of this cell only slightly S-curved, with the alula broader and more lobate than in any other species except peringueyi, with the squamae subopaquely whitish and with whitish fringes; halteres with the knobs pale yellowish below and almost black above. Head with the eyes in contact for a long distance, as in peringueyi: antennae with joint 1 stout as in the latter species, markedly thickened at base, at least 5 times as long as 2, with 3 rapidly narrowed to a point in apical part, otherwise rod-like; proboscis about 2 J mm. long. Hypopygium (text-fig. 294) nearest to that of peringueyi, yet entirely different, with only short hairs on basal part, without a long recurved spine at base of apical lappet-like lobes (); apically produced part of ramus (E.) on each side differently shaped, and with a single apically produced process dorsal to aedeagus (Ae.), which process branches into a dorsally directed and ventrally directed process respectively (see Pr. in figures)..
